I Am Unhappy with my Nose, but Don't Know What Should Be Corrected to Make It Most Esthetically Pleasing. Please Help! (photo)

I would like my nose to have a little more deffiniton in the bridge and to look a little less wide. I dislike the small hump that seems to be most visible on my 3/4s facial profile. I want to look like me but with improved confidence and everything to be more esthetically pleasing, but I don't know what features need to be tweaked to achieve this. I would like opinions on what could be done. Also my nose widens when I smile, is this something that can be fixed but still maintain a natural look?

Rhinoplasty procedure for better facial balance

Mason, your photos show that your nose is modestly overprojected with a bulbous tip and subtle dorsal hump. All of these problems can be corrected with a well-performed reductive rhinoplasty with very natural-appearing results. The goal is to better balance the size of your nose with your facial features. It is important to insure that your surgeon understands your aesthetic goals and takes functional considerations (nasal breathing) into account during surgical... more

Aesthetically speaking, from the photos, the nose is large with a dorsal hump and thick tip as well as nasal bones. The nose should be reduced in size and refined from top to bottom IMHO, with Rhinoplasty. Be sure the Rhinoplasty Surgeon, you choose, understands and follows the proper aesthetics of facial (and nasal) beauty for the creation of a naturally, more attractive nose.
