What would I need doing to reduce the side of my nose from the side profile? (Photo)

if you ONLY want to modify the dorsum, then you could do this closed. However, if you want to change tip, usually you need to have the nose opened.

The tip of your nose is strong in its forward projection away from your face, and the nose is tall -- that is, your upper lip is very short measured vertically because the nose is tall, impinging on the lip. In any nose, when you remove a dorsal hump, it has the tendency to make the nose *look* longer, and I don't think you'd like that.

With your strong chin, you do want a nose that is strong in its forward tip, projection. But lowering the bump also has the tendency to make the tip appear more projecting. My recommendation would be to lower the bump, but also deproject the tip and elevate the tip, enough to keep the nose balanced, and conservatively enough that you still like it and it didn't change the charachter of your face. This is not a simple operation.

How *much* to elevate the tip, or deproject the nose, or lower the bump, or make other changes? We figure that out with morphs, well before surgery. I'd love for you to see some excellent professionally-designed morphs of what could possibly be done with your nose. Morphs could also help you identify better just what's bothering you, and help you set a goal for the rhinoplasty that's accurate for your tastes. Profile and three-quarter views would be particularly important in morphing your nose. (Side note: in my opinion, morphs should really be done by the surgeon, or he should direct an assistant as she makes the morphs. Morphs should be made with a constant eye to what actually *can* be done in surgery, for that particular nose, and the surgeon has that information and judgment best.)

Finally, remember that rhinoplasty is an exquisitely difficult operation to get right, and you should only have surgery if you are able to make yourself very confident in your surgeon's skills. The changes that your nose needs require advanced techniques, and skill that most plastic surgeons don't possess with expertise. It's much better to not have surgery than to have inexpertly-performed surgery. Read my essay on how to stay out of trouble while selecting a rhinoplasty surgeon. And it also discusses how to take photos that are best for online evaluations.
