What are my options regarding rhinoplasty? Would my nose be a good applicant for this surgery? (photos)

June 9, 2019
Asked By:misselysianfields in Boston, Massachusetts

I have a long, bulbous, wide nose. It has a very unique shape. Is it possible to get an elegant (not cutesy) nose from my current one? A narrower bridge and smaller tip, as well as the sides next to my nostrils. When looking through before and after pictures, I have yet to find a nose that looks like mine, so I cannot see similar results. In your expert opinions, doctors, what would I realistically be able to expect from a rhinoplasty? Thank you!
