Hi there! First I'd like to thank this website and the contributing doctors for helping people improve their self-satisfaction :D you all are changing lives here! Thanks! My nose is wide, flat, droppy, and I've got flared nostrils. Basically, I think everything that people usually correct for lol. I'd love a more defined nose. Somewhat more European looking. What things should I expect to hear during my consultation? (I don't want yo be persuaded into getting. Michael Jackson nose!!)
Answer: Refining nasal appearance. To achieve the changes you are looking for in your nasal profile, you would need to 1) narrow the upper portion of your nose, 2) elevate the bridge of your nose, usually done by adding cartilage grafts, 3) narrow the width of your nostrils, 4) increase the projection as well as the definition of the tip of your nose. To achieve this would also require cartilage grafts and you should understand it is more difficult to get refinement of the nasal tip in blacks, hispanics and middle eastern patients, as they naturally have thicker tissues in the nasal tip. See a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss in detail what could be accomplished.

Answer: Rhinoplasty for flat and wide nose You would benefit from narrowing of the base (nostrils) and enhancing the bridge which would lead to a nose that on profile projects more from the level of the cheeks. Such a procedure is sometimes called "augmentation rhinoplasty".
