I feel like my nose sticks out too much, and I want to have just a smaller nose with a round tip instead of it being so pointy. Is there anyway this could happen?
Answer: Nose sticks out too much? Well, it takes a rhinoplasty to correct that. The woman in the short video posted with this answer had her tip brought closer to her face with a rhinoplasty. That's called "de-projecting" the tip.Be sure to read the section in the "Learn more" link on how to stay out of trouble while searching for a rhinoplasty surgeon. You should only have surgery if you are able to make yourself very confident in your surgeon's skills. Read that page very carefully. Most plastic surgeons are quite poor at this operation, and I believe my advice will go a long way toward keeping you safe. I usually make computer morphs when I'm answering a RealSelf question, to show the changes that are possible for your nose with a rhinoplasty. For example see this page:FacialSurgery.com/RealSelf/RealSelf_Morphs.html But of course you didn't post any photos. At the *very* bottom of the "Learn more" page is a link to instructions on taking photos that are comprehensive and useful for online consultations like this, in case you'd like a more complete evaluation.

Answer: Reduction of nasal size and reduction of tip projection The features that you describe can adjusted to achieve a smaller nasal size with a reduction of tip projection. It would be useful to see some photographs. Depending on the degree of tip projection it is likely that you would need an open rhinoplasty. At the same time the shape and configuration of the nasal tip cartilages can be adjusted to achieve a more rounded tip appearance. However, these decisions need to be made at a consultation . I would recommend seeking the opinion of an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon

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.

The nasal tip along with other areas of the nose can be changed in size and shape. Best wishes!
