Can anyone advise how to make my nose rounder? (photos)

Question

I hate the tip of my nose. From different angles the nose tip looks pointy towards end of the tip and the nostril is not symetrical with the other side of my nose. What I would love would be to have the tip made smoother and rounder and have the tip made slightly wider with more definition added to it. I also notice that the nose looks suckered in above the nostrils. Can any doctor advise what my best options would be?

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  Additional photographs from a frontal view and side profile would also be helpful.  Rhinoplasty can be designed to make a nasal tip more round and less pointy.  Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Your nose could be improved with rhinoplasty, which would give permanent improvements in symmetry and shape and will improve your tip. You can bring the photos of noses that you think would be flattering to your face and these can be discussed. When you meet with a facial plastic surgeon, he or she will consider your nose in balance with your other features and can over the cost of the procedure. I hope this helps.

Your nasal tip is long and narrow. The combination of some tip shortening and widening can be done through the use of cartilage grafting such as interdomal and lateral dome/alar graft placements.
