I am interested in getting a nose job because I would like a less wide and round nose (looks worse in person) when I smile my nose gets even wider and just makes me look extremely unattractive. I don't want a Megan fox tiny pointy nose but something more refined and feminine. Is that realistic on my face and nose?
Answer: Bulbous nose rhinoplasty? I think that you can have some refinement without creating a pinched or pointy look and without compromising your breathing, which is critical. Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Bulbous nose rhinoplasty? Dear AnnemarieI think you have a realistic sense of what kind of result can be achieved with a rhinoplasty. You have thin skin across your nasal dorsum and medium thickness skin around the tip. From the pictures, you have good cartilage support of your ala. This combination is a great foundation for getting a natural, refined and long lasting result with rhinoplasty. Look for experienced surgeons who are well trained and certified by the American Board of Plastic (or facial plactic) surgery. See more than one consult so you can make a well informed decision.

Answer: Bulbous Nasal Tip Based on the views provided, and short of an examination, I happen to think you are a good candidate for cosmetic tip rhinoplasty. The goal would be to create a natural looking tip that is more refined and narrowed. Attached is a link to my online rhinoplasty tutorial that discusses in more detail management of the bulbous nasal tip. Best of luck in your pursuit.

Answer: Conservative natural rhinoplasty for the bulbous tip. Conservative natural rhinoplasty for the bulbous tip, etc. emu are an excellent candidate for conservative surgery that does not overdo your nose. Make sure you choose a surgeon who does natural noses that you like since that's what you will be getting. Do not rely on imaging.

Answer: Bulbous nose rhinoplasty? 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. 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. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California
