Could a rhinoplasty make my nose appear less bulky and more defined? (photos)

If you are considering changing the shape and size of your nose, the best option would be to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty (nose surgery). They can evaluate your nose and facial structure, discuss your goals with you, and recommend the most appropriate surgical approach to achieve the desired outcome.

Based on your description and photos, it sounds like you may benefit from a reduction rhinoplasty to address the size and width of your nose, as well as a tip plasty to refine and reshape the tip. Depending on the amount of nostril show you desire, a columella-plasty may also be necessary. Additionally, a downward rotation of the nasal tip can be achieved with certain surgical techniques.

It is important to keep in mind that rhinoplasty is a complex surgery, and the results may not be immediately visible as it can take several months for the swelling to fully subside. There are also potential risks and complications associated with any surgical procedure, so be sure to discuss any concerns you have with your surgeon and follow their pre- and post-operative instructions carefully to optimize your outcome.

Best of luck !

Thank you for your question and photos. You are likely a candidate for rhinoplasty to reshape the nose and create balance with your other facial features. During this surgical procedure, the nasal bridge can be narrowed, the tip refined and appropriately downturned, and the columella slightly retracted to produce the desired result. Nasal width is generally narrowed with an alar base reduction or osteotomies, or increasing the nasal tip projection to create a more narrowed appearance.

Keep in mind that rhinoplasty is one of the most complex of all plastic surgery procedures, requiring skill, experience, and artistry to produce the best possible result. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon, with expertise in rhinoplasty techniques. They will be able to discuss your aesthetic goals with you to decide on the best course of action.

It would be very difficult to give you a meaningfull aswer based on these photos. Only on the basis of in person evaluation with a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in rhinoplasty you will be able to get satisfactory answer. Good luck.
