Is my nose able to get a nice nose job? (Lack of cartilage) (Photo)

February 11, 2018
Asked By:lilyluck97 in Australia, AU

My whole life, my party trick is me being able to push my nose down to be completely flat. I don’t know if this is due to lack of cartilage or bone, or both! I want my nose to have more shape, because I feel that the bridge is so wide/ non excistant. I would also want the profile to be nicer. I have included a photo of my dream nose (I know it is unrealistic to ask that, but it is just to give an idea) look at her bridge! (Last two photos are the ideal/ close to what I want)

Answer: You appear to have a pleasing nasal profile, but rhinoplasty may be considered for a narrower nasal appearance.
