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

First of all, your nose is very strong in its forward projection from your face. We would want to "de-project" your nose, bringing it back closer to your face. 
The woman in the short video that I posted with this answer had a strongly-projecting nose that was brought back closer in her rhinoplasty.
Then, your nose is "long," with the tip hanging low, so we would want to elevate the tip. Even if you don't want a "cutesy" nose, if the tip is not elevated, then the nose would look too long, too prominent. You can have a shorter nose and not have it be cutesy or unnatural-appearing.
The tip cartilages are strong and wide, and we'd want to narrow them. In fact, it's probably the strength of the tip cartilages that are holding the tip of your nose out away from your face and in a low position.
How much to de-project and elevate the tip? We figure that out with excellent morphs before surgery, to make sure the goals match your desires. It's not quite as accurate as making architectural plans before building a house, but it's as important.
Finally, remember that rhinoplasty is an exquisitely difficult operation to get right, and you should only have surgery if you are able to make yourself very confident in your surgeon's skills. The changes that your nose in particular needs require advanced techniques, requiring skill that most plastic surgeons don't possess with expertise. For most noses, it's much better to not have surgery than to have inexpertly-performed surgery. Read my essay on how to stay out of trouble while selecting a rhinoplasty surgeon. 
Your nose is also a perfect example of why computer imaging is mandatory in rhinoplasty. You need to know exactly what the surgeon is planning to accomplish -- what features he thinks he can change, and by how much he thinks he can change them. I always email morphs to my online rhinoplasty consultations. When you see the surgeon's goals in the morphs, you'll know whether he has an eye for an attractive nose, and whether he shares your opinion of what constitutes an attractive nose. You'll also know whether the changes he proposes are large enough to be meaningful to you, and whether he understands your wishes enough to address all of your priorities. How would you ever get that figured out without the morphs?

Yes! You can have a Rhinoplasty to reduce the length of the nose and narrow the tip. It is important to note that Rhinoplasty is finesse surgery and all the sturtcures are like a Rubik's cube. If you change one aspect of the nose it affects another. With this in mind a careful Open Rhinoplasty to reduce nasal length, create a nice profile on the dorsum and to lift and narrow the tip is possible with a skilled Rhinoplasty surgeon.

You show and over projecting nose with a slight dorsal hump. You have a thin face that accentuates the overprojection. With a lowering of the profile and refinement of the tip, I believe you would get a very nice result.Hope this helps.

Hi! I think you would be good candidate for a rhinoplasty, and in the right hands will have a very good result. Your face otherwise is very well proportioned, and reducing the length of the nose will enhance things even more.
All the best!

Thanks for your question and for sending in your photos.You do have a unique nose but there are some changes you could make with Rhinoplasty that could improve how it fits in with your other facial features.Your nasal tip is over projected and perhaps slightly downturned .  Bringing this closer to the face would be helpful but be careful how much you do this. Bringing any facial feature inward on your side view will  make it look rounder on the front view. You also have thick skin and likely fairly stiff tip cartilages they need to be modified carefully Rotating the tip up slightly will make the nose seem shorter from eyebrows to tip and this would look good on you.   Be careful not to overdo the changes. Subtle changes to various nasal features often gives the most aesthetically pleasing results.Good luck

Thank You for your photos.  In my professional opinion,  I feel you are definitely a great candidate for a rhinoplasty. Narrowing the tip & bridge is what I feel best.  Most surgeons offer photo imaging to give you an idea of what it can potentially look like so be sure to request that in your search for your surgeon.  Good Luck!Best,Dr. Elliot Heller

Thank you for your question!  Congratulations on considering having a rhinoplasty.  It is a wonderful operation and can help to refine and improve the appearance of your nose.  Based on the photographs you have shared, I think your expectations are reasonable.  It appears you would like to reduce the size and deproject the nasal tip, and refine its appearance.  You would also like to reduce the width of your nasal dorsum (bridge), as well. A rhinoplasty is a procedure where the underlying bone and cartilage are reduced in size and changed in shape to give an overall improved and refined appearance to the nose.  A small incision is made in the columella (the skin bridge between the nostrils) and the skin of the nose is lifted to perform the surgery.  The nasal dorsum can be reshaped and reduced in size, and precise sutures are placed into the nasal tip to reduce it in size and refine its appearance. I would suggest you consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty.  Here you will have a full evaluation and be able to discuss your goals for surgery.I hope that this helps!-David Gilpin

I think you could be very pleased with a rhinoplasty.  I encourage you to meet with a plastic surgeon and request that they morph your photos to give you an idea of what kind of results can be achieved in order to be sure you like those results.  Best of luck.

Thank you for you question and photos. Looking at your nose, I believe that it could be reduced in size and conservatively reshaped, to suit your face better. However a rhinoplasty is such a personal and delicate procedure that the best course of action would be for your to go and see some surgeons locally to examine you, listen to your expectations and guide you in the process and difficult decision.All the bestAndrea Marando

Thanks for the question. You would be a good candidate for a rhinoplasty. However, your surgery requires a slightly more complicated process. For more information, you should contact a board certified surgeon and plan the process. I wish you all the best.

The discussion about rhinoplasty is coming to a mutual goal between surgeon and patient. I find that computer imaging helps a lot in that discussion. Of course we can't exactly duplicate imaging but honest imaging can simulate approximate results. Also, many doctors have a lot more before and afters in the office. We have many patients who allow us to use their photos in the office but not on the internet. Our consent is very specific. Lastly, you are absolutely correct, rhinoplasty is often about contour and shadows.
