Is it possible to get the center of my nose similar to Lauren London with my thick nose tip?

Question

My biggest problem is the center of my nose especially my tip. Its too droopy, wide and most importantly it protruded too far out. I would like my nose tip to be reduced in projection, narrowed and titled slightly upwards for a more supported and shorter/circular tip. My bridge isnt a huge problem but its contour is very bumpy making a bumpy transition from the bridge to the tip. So i want my bridge to align and have a smooth transition into my tip. Is all this possible with my thick skin?

I think that you can probably get close to that nose.  I think that a natural look and smooth transitions are key.  I perform closed rhinoplasty to minimize scarring.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

I think you are a good candidate for rhinoplasty.  Your nasal tip can be refined and the entire nose narrowed.  You are also an excellent case to barrow the nostrils using alar wedge resections which will significantly reduce the flare. To me, that appears to have been done in Lauren London.

I think there is room for refinement of your nasal tip. However I'm not sure you'll be able to get it to look like the photo you've provided. Her skin is thinner than yours. It will be more difficult to achieve those results.  What may provide you with the greatest improvement with be alar sill and flare reduction. Good luck.

African American NATURAL rhinoplasty with refinement of your tip and correction of the droopiness and narrowing of the base can be done. How thin your tip can be made depends on the thickness of your skin and I need to feel that in order to give you an answer. You should have a more attractive nose if you see an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

The rhinoplasty procedure can address your concerns with reduction of bulbous and wide circular tip. The bridge can be narrowed and the tip lifted and de-projected. To narrow the bridge line, osteotomies of the nasal bones are required. To narrow the tip, suture techniques are applied to the lower lateral cartilages. Wide nostrils are narrowed with an alar plasty procedure which involves a small excision of skin at the base of the nostrils.
