My nose is kinda big - do you think I need rhinoplasty? (Photo)

We generally recommend rhinoplasty surgery for people who have realistic expectations, and also have severe dissatisfaction with the nasal appearances. If you have the satisfaction is only mild, it may be best to hold off. I think it's reasonable to expect a bit of tip raising and bridge lowering after rhinoplasty surgery. Best to discuss this with the rhinoplasty specialist in person had a consultation. Hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

You need a rhinoplasty because the angle between your nose and lip is less than 90 degrees and you also have a dorsal hump.

Hello and thank you for your question. Only you can determine if you should have a Rhinoplasty. Strictly from an anatomic standpoint, you are a great candidate for this surgery. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

For men, it’s appropriate to have a bigger nose.
This can also include having a bump on your nose.
If you choose to have rhinoplasty surgery, than I would probably approach it in a fairly conservative manner, not trying to change too much.
You can always have a few in person consultations with plastic surgeons in your community.
I would be careful of not changing it too much.
Best,
