How to make my nose fit my face better, and look more feminine? (photos)

Question

I hate my nose size and shape, and it is crooked to the left. Can a rhinoplasty make a significant improvement in my overall facial attractiveness, and will it help me look more feminine? What specific areas of concern should I discuss with a surgeon during consultation?

Based on this photo, you seem to be good candidate for rhinoplasty. Only on the basis of in person consultation, a board certified plastic surgeon, expert in rhinoplasty, can discuss with you most appropriate plan of treatment. We use 3D simulation to show anticipated result and plan of treatment. Good luck.

What could be done with your nose? In the profile view, which is the only one you show you have a small dorsal hump, the nose appear slightly long, and the angle between the bottom of the nose and the lip could be slightly higher to be more feminine. You do not show a frontal view which would be needed to assess the size and shape of the tip. But usually refinement of the tip goes hand-in-hand with reduction of a dorsal hump and shortening of a nose and elevation of the nasal tip. You also don’t show a profile view with a smile to see whether or not the tip plunges when smiling. If so , that further suggests elevation of the nasal tip along with reduction of the dorsal hump. These decisions of course should be made in conjunction with a qualified nasal surgery specialist.

Digital computer imaging would be helpful to understand what can be accomplished with your nose from several different angles. Choose your surgeon wisely based on extensive experience, since rhinoplasty is one of the most difficult procedures to perform correctly in the entire field cosmetic surgery. A closed rhinoplasty approach can accomplish shaving down the dorsal hump, straightening the nose, and refining the nasal tip with all the incisions placed on the inside of the nose. No external incisions are required, no painful packing is required either.
