I have been very concerned with my nose lately being too long. I feel like as I get older, my nose is starting to look more prominent than other features of my face. I've always never enjoyed having a big nose and wondered maybe that's why I don't look the way I want in photos. I'm just wondering from your own perspective if my nose is too long for my face and looks out of line with everything else? I feel like it is especially from the side so that's why I never like to look sideways. T
Answer: Scarless Rhinoplasty Hello, Only you can truly decide if you like the shape of your nose. However, I don't believe that your nose is too big for your face. You can refine it to what you want with a closed scarless rhinoplasty. By doing subtle refinements we are able to finesse the sculpt the nose to match your face perfectly. By doing this via a scarless (closed) approach, there are no external cuts ever on your nose. This prevents the dreaded complication of external scarring at the base of the nose, which even if rare, if it occurs, is devastating. Through a scarless approach you can accomplish almost everything needed to be done to the nose with no scarring, less healing time, less bruising, and less swelling. Hope this helps!

Answer: Your nose has a couple of issues: the bump, the length, and the projection. See the morph I made from your photos. Click on the "Web reference" link, just below my response, or go here: FacialSurgery.com/RealSelf/RealSelf_Roslan.html I made a computer morph of your nose, and an animation of the morph, to show the changes that are possible for your nose in truly expert hands.Of course, I lowered the bump along the bridge. I also elevated the tip of the nose, so it doesn't look as long. And I brought the entire nose back closer to your face a bit. That's called "deprojecting" the nose.It makes sense that you have been noticing it more lately, because with time, the tip of the nose gets pulled down by gravity. That makes the nose look bigger, and longer, and it can also accentuate the bump on the bridge. You should understand that the changes I demonstrated in the morph require advanced techniques, techniques that most plastic surgeons cannot handle. Be sure to read the section in the "Web reference" link on how to stay out of trouble while searching for a rhinoplasty surgeon. You should only have surgery if you are able to make yourself very confident in your surgeon's skills. Read that page very carefully. Most plastic surgeons are quite poor at this operation, and I believe my advice will go a long way toward keeping you safe. I'd love to hear what you think of the morph. Did it seem to address your main concerns? Your nose is also a good 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. When you see his goals, you'll know whether he has an eye for a beautiful nose, and whether he shares your opinion of what constitutes a beautiful nose. You'll also know whether the changes he proposes are enough to be meaningful to you, and whether he understands your wishes enough to address all of your priorities. But remember, you're not hiring him for his skills with the computer. The doctor must then show you his before and after photos to prove that he can actually accomplish what he draws on the computer. In your case in particular, you need to find a surgeon who understands all of the issues I mentioned, and how they fit together, and who can actually accomplish them in surgery.

Answer: Would my nose have better proportion if it were shorter etc? Would my nose have better proportion if it were shorter etc? yes. However only you can decide if that is what YOU want and not the surgeon! See a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who does natural noses and rely on results not Imaging.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. A small nose combined with large eyes and a fine jawline are a few features that comprise an attractive female face. A rhinoplasty can improve your nose because it can make sure your nose has a better proportion and fit to your overall facial features. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to determine your candidacy, and discuss your ideal nose. Best wishes,

Answer: Is my nose too long for my face? The appearance of your nose can be improved with an artistically performed rhinoplasty, What would be the best option and exact procedure would depend on an examination and discussion about desired outcome. No one ever "needs" a rhinoplasty. It is an elective procedure and only you can determine if your nasal features concern you enough to do something about improving the cosmetic appearance of your nose and whether it would be worthwhile. Keep in mind that following advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do based on two dimensional photos without examining you, physically feeling your tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history and discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not be in your best interest. Natural appearing results need to be individualized and what is appropriate for one patient is not necessarily the best for someone else. I would suggest that you find a surgeon with extensive rhinoplasty experience certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or a facial plastic surgeon (otolaryngologist) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Additional information about the procedure will help you decide if it is a procedure that you want to pursue.
