I have a very wide nose and I want to see what my options are as far getting my nose reduced. (Photo)

I would recommend an in-person consult with a board certified rhinoplasty specialist. He or she may use computer imaging software to morph a photo of you, which will give you an idea of how the final result of surgery may appear. There are techniques that can help reduce the width of your nose, and the overall approach taken will depend on your individual circumstances. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck. 

   I would recommend tip refinement, alar base reduction, and bridge narrowing to achieve a more refined appearance.  Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds
of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year. Then look at the
plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a
sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Good question:  First, there is no "one" African-American nose.  There are different shapes and presentations.  The "width" you refer to is likely the lower or "base" of the nose.  This can look wide because it is wide, because of thick skin or because there is less bridge on the upper part of the nose.  A consultation with an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon would be best to give you an exact plan.

Best to seek only IN PERSON evaluations for tip rhinoplasty worth alar wedge resections. Make sure the surgeons are board certified.///
