Bulbous nasal tip. Can it be made smaller?
The problem of the bulbous nasal tip is one that I see quite commonly. It has to deal with the size and shape of the tip cartilages and the thickness of the skin covering. The cartilage can be shaped and trimmed and made thinner but the skin cannot. Looking at your pictures, some nice changes in shape and width could be achieved, but it will never look like Megan Fox's. Her skin and nose are completely different than yours. I suggest a consultation with a nasal specialist who can give...

Modifying A Large Nose To Become Smaller
Dear Patricia,
Thank you for well taken photos.
Your nose does look large relatively. You are a good candidate for a multifaceted rhinoplasty where your nasal tip is mainly reduced and your alar base and nasal bridge slightly modified.
That being said, it is not possible to have your nose look like Megan Fox's for three main reasons setting limitations:
1. The type of your nasal skin: thick and oily.
2. The anatomy of your nose.
3. Your facial features that are very...

Rhinoplasty
From your posted photos it is clear that your concerns are valid but you will never have a nose like Megan Fox no matter who the surgeon is or what they do. Most of the width is in the lower half of your nose. You can narrow the upper half a bit by infracture to move the nasal bones slightly inward. The lower half is usually thinned by trimming the upper edge of the tip cartilages and maybe the bottom corner of the upper side (lateral) cartilages in your case. Whatever you do to the...

Rhinoplasty to narrow a wide nose
A wide nose can be made more narrow through the rhinoplasty procedure. There are multiple techniques that involve suturing the nasal tip cartilages to narrow the tip and possible removal of nasal tip cartilage as well. Osteotomies will also narrow the nose. The thick skin that is present will probably not allow an ultra thin nose to occur, but you can certainly expect an improvement.

Rhinoplasty for a 'skinny' nose
My best advice is a consultation with an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon. Only a candid face-to-face discussion between you and your surgeon can determine what can be done with your nose.

Rhinoplasty for Wide Nose
Your nose can be reduced and definition improved, especially in the tip, but Megan's nose cannot be duplicated because of your thicker skin. Consult with a surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty surgery.

Wide nose
You can certainly have significant improvement with rhinoplasty. You should be able to have more shape and narrowing. You will not get Megan Fox's nose because of differences in your skin and you should not count on that result.

Wide Nose. Can I Ever Get an Skinny One?
While your nose can be dramatically thinned at the bone and cartilage levels, the thick skin and weak cartilage would not allow the final outcome to look like Megan's.

Modifications of your nose
Thanks for the post. While modifications to your nsoe can be accomplished to soften the width of the lower 1/3, you will never have the nose of Megan Fox. Your tissues are very thick and this plays into the overall results and definition that you may be looking for but probably can not be successfully achieved to that extent.

Wide Nose. Can I ever get a Skinny One?
Hello Patricia, you are a good candidate for a rhinoplasty. I advise you to schedule a consultation with a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon. Bring a few photos that you like with you so the surgeon gets a good idea of what you are looking to achieve. After a complete examination you will be advised if your expectations are realistic. When you schedule your consult ask the office if they use computer imaging this way you can get a good idea of what your end result will be. Look at the...
