I want to get rhinoplasty to narrow the width and make my tip shorter - is there anything else I should be considering? (Photo)

From the photos, it looks like you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty of the tip. If you are happy with the bridge, you don't have to do anything to it. The cartilage of the tip can be reshaped to make it slimmer and more refined, but natural at the same time. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty specialist for consultation.

Hello and thank you for your question and the pictures. Addressing the shape of your nose (especially the width and nasal tip) is actually one of the most common reasons people seek out and undergo a rhinoplasty. With only front view pictures, it's hard to determine what else would help give you a nose that better balances and fits your face. Regardless, an open septorhinoplasty can best address both your aesthetic concerns and any functional issues with your nose. I would be able to adjust the size, shape, and definition of your nose (particularly the bridge and tip)!

This truly is a surgery of millimeters- and whether you're looking for a minor adjustment or a major transformation, it requires exceptional surgical skill to achieve functional and natural-looking results! Because your nose is the DEFINING feature of your face- I would only recommend seeing a surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty procedures, and who has significant training and experience performing these surgeries. I actually trained under one of the world leading rhinoplasty experts (who performs 1,000+ nosejobs annually).

I recommend for you to setup a formal consultation with me (or another plastic surgeon who is extremely comfortable with rhinoplasties) to thoroughly discuss your surgical goals, undergo a formal examination, evaluate your options, and develop a personalized plan just for you. I hope this helps!

Surgical rhinoplasty is certainly the right answer. Additional things to consider as you explore your options will revolve around how to find the best surgeon for your needs. Unlike many other types of surgery, there is wide variability in surgical technique and outcomes between different surgeons. Of course, be sure to pick an expert and one who's before-and-after aesthetics align with your own goals.
Additional considerations include: type of rhinoplasty (open vs. closed), and structural vs. preservation technique.
Good luck!Dr. Justin Bellamy, MD

A rhinoplasty is the best way to perform nasal modifications. I would highly recommend AGAINST nasal filler or any other type of non-surgical modifications of the nose.

Hello from Istanbul! Adding definition to your tip along with an alarplasty, which narrows the nostrils, will complement your goals nicely. This combination can enhance the overall look by reducing nostril show. Hope this helps!

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question , If you can share your side profile in a better light, it would be possible to make a better evaluation if your requests can be realized with a single operation.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best regards!

Based on your photos, I agree that you have a wide bridge, tip, and flaring nostrils. Without a profile photo it is difficult to determine if there are any additional issues with your nasal appearance. Please consider meeting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists who offer computer Imaging so you could see what might be best for you moving forward. Thank you for your question.

Hello and thank you for providing photographs with your question.
Overall you have a pretty nose. I agree that your nasal bones are wide and will better fit the mid portion of your nose after being narrowed. I also notice that your tip is "bulbous" or rounded which can also be improved with a rhinoplasty procedure. Creating a balance between the upper third (nasal bones), middle third, and lower third (nasal tip) is key to any aesthetic nasal surgery.
I hope this helps!

You may want to consider a lip lift. A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. You may benefit from this at the time of rhinoplasty.

Best Wishes,

Hi, rhinoplasty can enhance both function and appearance of the nose including width, hump and the tip of the nose. It is better for you to consult with a facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and discuss the surgical procedure and the post op recovery
process.
