How to approach thick and large nose - best treatment/procedures for a natural looking nose? (photos)

Question

Hi Doctors I have few problems in my face and I would appreciate suggestions on the best treatment/procedures and specialist doctors. I am currently treating my skin and it's progressing very well. However, my biggest issue is my nose. Nose as you can see, skin very thick, wide with an enlarged wide tip. Although my nose looks better from the sides but still wide. I am looking for a more narrowed, natural looking firm nose. What would you suggest for a surgery procedure and a surgeon in UK?

Hello. A cosmetic rhinoplasty can certainly help narrow the nasal tip. There are limitations however with doing that when it comes to thicker skin. It is best to consult with a rhinoplasty surgeon in person to discuss the details around this and the options that are best suited for you after a thorough examination. Best of luck!

You can have the lower half of the nose (tip and nostrils) addressed without breaking the nasal bones. Tip-plasty can address the bulbous tip either through closed or open approach to make it narrow and refined.
Alarplasty is a very fine and quick procedure that can narrow the nostrils and reduce the flare to soften the appearance. It has other names as well like ‘Weir Excisions’ or ‘Nostril Reduction’. However, it is important to note that asymmetry of nostrils is common and cannot be corrected with alarplasty.
 Both of these can be done under local anethesia.

Nasal tip plasty and rhinoplasty. A nasal tip plasty whether performed alone or in conjunction with the other components of a rhinoplasty, generally reduces the width of the tip and creates more definition and shape of the tip. However the thicker the skin of the tip is the more limited these results will be. That is not to say that there will not be an improvement, but that the improvement will be less with thick skinned patients than with patients with thinner skin.
