What can I do to make my nose more feminine? (photos)

Question

I've always thought my nose is a very weird shape. I'm a 21 yr old Hispanic female with a small forehead and heart shape face. From the front I don't really mind my nose but my profile makes me look very masculine/ ugly when I want to look pretty and feminine. I feel like a very different person when I look at my profile and I hate it. Would non surgical nose job be right to help balance my features? If not what procedure would be recommended?

Rhinoplasty in the Hispanic female with large nasal hump.A rhinoplasty to remove the home and refine your tip will give you a much more feminine and attractive appearance.  This should not be over done. Look for a surgeon who does natural looking noses and rely on his before and after pictures not on imaging.

Hello.  A rhinoplasty is the best option if you want to make your nose look more feminine.  You have a prominent dorsal hump and your tip is bulbous and slightly under rotated.  Unfortunately, fillers won't camouflage these findings.  I recommend your hump be taken down and tip refined and rotation improved slightly.  Be sure you see a board certified surgeon for in office exam.  Take care.

Thanks for your question. Non surgical techniques would include injection of the radix to help fill the area of your nasal profile above the hump. This would help straighten the nasal dorsum on profile but would also serve to lengthen your nose and do nothing for the tip.  I would  these maneuvers will not only bring femininity to your nose but also harmony and balance to your face.make an appointment with a board certified facial plastic or plastic surgeon to discuss this in person.best wishes!

Dear,With regards to your photos, it seems that you have two major problems, a bump on the nose and large nostrils. After removing the bump and reducring the size of the nostrils you will have very good and natural nose, and your nose will match your face better.

Hi there.  Please note that the definitive answer rests with an examination and consultation.  Review of your photos shows a nasal hump (known more formally as a dorsal nasal hump).  The tip is a bit droopy.  These concerns are amenable to rhinoplasty (cosmetic nose reshaping surgery).  If you like, please follow the link below.  The article on Nasal Analysis contains many diagrams that you may find helpful.  This may help guide your conversation with your surgeon.Hope this is helpful.  Best wishes.

In our practice, we do not recommend nonsurgical rhinoplasty do to significant complications that can occur from placement of the filler material, it's only temporary, and not FDA approved for that application. The dorsal hump is composed of both bone and cartilage and must be shaved down in order to remove it surgically. Osteotomies of the nasal bones are then required to close the open roof deformity created from the hump removal, and narrow the bridge. The tip may be narrowed accordingly to balance with the new bridge line. For many examples and more information about  surgical rhinoplasty, please see link below

All you need is a rhinoplasty to make your nose look good.  It is a safe operation and will give you what you need. Find a plastic surgeon.

Earl E. Ferguson III, MD, FACS · Answer

As a general rule, a nasal dorsum that lies a few millimeters lower than the tip and a slight upturn to the tip are considered feminine features.  You have both a bony and cartilaginous component to the dorsal hump, so you would benefit not only from reduction of the prominent portions, but also augmentation of the radix (the part of your nose between the eyes).  Seek an experienced board certified plastic surgeon and you should have a beautiful result.

Improving the cosmetic appearance of the
nose by making it a little smaller and refining its shape, yet having the
result look natural and more feminine, is a frequent request from patients. It is achievable with a rhinoplasty. A "non-surgical nose job" will not achieve what you desire.

Following the advice from a surgeon on
this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do based on
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 operative procedure would not be in your best
interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon with extensive nasal
surgery experience who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery
and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
(ASAPS) or a facial plastic surgeon that you trust and are comfortable with.
You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.

The only thing that a non-surgical rhinoplasty can do for you is to build up the upper part of your nasal bridge that dips down. This will help camouflage the bump on the bridge. This would be a nice but very subtle improvement. If you were to pursue surgery the bump on your nasal bridge could be removed and the tip of your nose could be refined and slightly turned up. Your nose could also be straightened on the front view and the base of your nose slightly narrowed. Overall, your nose would be more refined, smaller and more feminine but should not look like someone else's nose. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon
