Dear 161661,In some cases, you can create a nose that looks thinner, non surgicallyIn other cases, surgery might be the only optionYour best bet is to visit a rhinoplasty specialist who can examine you and address your concernsBest,Dr. Nima

John Layke, DO, FACS · Answer

The only way for you to achieve the result you are looking for is to undergo a surgical rhinoplasty.  I recommend seeking out a Board-Certified plastic surgeon who will accurately assess your nose, create a simulation based on what your nose COULD look like after surgery, and formulate a plan tailored to your needs.  Best wishes!

William Portuese, MD · Answer

Squeezing the nose will not make any more narrow. The nose is composed of  both bone and cartilage and must be surgically altered with osteotomies to narrow the bridge line. For many examples, please see the link  below to our surgical rhinoplasty  photo  Gallery
