If you have severe dissatisfaction with your nasal appearance, please consider meeting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists who offer computer Imaging so you could see what to expect. We can see that you have a wide appearance in the lower 1/3 of your nose, and this is associated with an underprojected tip and a small bump on profile. These issues may be addressed, as long as you're dissatisfaction is high. You do not appear to have scleral show, and I would not recommend any treatments to your lower eyelids. I hope this helps!

The upper nose looks good but bottom is wide because of a bulbous tip and wide nostrils. A tip-plasty will help define the tip and make it smaller. Alarplasty will shorten the nostrils. These changes will bring the lower half of the nose in harmony with the upper half to give you a great overall improvement. 
Blepharoplasty will be unnecessary.

Based on these photos there is no doubt that you are good candidate for rhinoplasty. I am not sure that lower blepharoplasty is necessary. Good luck.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. A surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Fascial grafts may also be used to help improve tip refinement. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
