Can Rhinoplasty Turn My Nose From Bulbous & Upturned to Refined & Sharper?

August 31, 2011
Asked By:jimmyb in uk

I have a very short, bulbous, upturned nose with huge nostrils which I think looks terribly ugly. I want a much sharper, less rounded nose which is not upturned. Maybe something similar to David Bowie who also has a small nose but it is much more chiselled. I would insist that it looked 100% natural, I couldn't bear having an obvious nose job. How far could my desired shape be achieved whilst looking natural? I want an experienced surgeon how much would I have to pay in the US (UK if known)??
