I don't like how my nose gets wider when I smile. It's a short nose & gets wider at the base. Is there a way to fix this?(photo)

The areas that you described and
would like improved can be addressed with a subtle natural appearing
rhinoplasty performed by an expert artistic plastic surgeon with extensive
rhinoplasty experience. 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 the
advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you
what to do based on limited 2 dimensional photos without examining you,
physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full
medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of the proposed operative
procedure with you and your parents may not be in your best interest. I would
suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic
Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic
Surgery (ASAPS) or facial plastic surgeon (otolaryngologist) that you trust and
are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in
person. The
length of the procedure, cost, and the specific operative steps to achieve an
ideal cosmetic result vary from patient to patient and would depend on the
findings at your consultation examination. Fees vary depending on the
extent of the procedure, location of the surgical practice, and experience as
well as the reputation of the surgeon.

After reviewing your photos and your concerns, I feel that you are a candidate for rhinoplasty.  I would raise, narrow and refine your nasal tip, as well as narrow the base of your nose to give you a more balanced appearance.  I recommend seeking out a Board-Certified plastic surgeon who will thoroughly examine your nose, create a simulation based on what your nose COULD look like after surgery, and develop a plan tailored to your wishes.  Good luck!

What you want done is completely up to you.Rhinoplasty typically starts at $5,500 depending on the area you live. To make sure you get the best possible result, the surgeon should perform a detailed exam of the nose and provide a realistic goal that you and your surgeon agree upon. Rhinoplasty are permanent, but with age facial features do change. Find a surgeon and go for a consult, I think you would be very happy after the surgery
