Can a rhinoplasty be performed without altering the appearance of my front profile? (photos)

Question

My nose is large, bony and droopy on the tip. It’s never really bothered me much before but seems to be most noticeable in pictures lately and at a certain angle. I have quite strong features, big eyes, cheeks and lips. I’d look ridiculous with a button nose so I’m a bit worried about how much changing my nose would change my looks. My question is, would it be possible to change my nose shape without really changing how it looks from the front?

Hello! Thank you for your questionI recommend you rhinoplasty surgery. It is possible to shape your nose as you wishIt would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best regards!

The lower through 2/3 of your nose appears to be over projected with a droopy tip that also appears to be asymmetrical. On front view, the tip of your nose appears two droopy and I believe this would look better lifted. In that regard, please consider Consulting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists who offer computer Imaging so you can see what to expect to achieve after rhinoplasty surgery. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

Hello,
Yes that can be done with rhinoplasty procedure. Your nose can be de-projected and made smaller, the tip and the columella of your nose can be raised slightly to make it look less droopy. These changes will have minimal effect on your look from the front. It is better to consult with a facial plastic surgeon and discuss how the shape of your nose could be after surgery.

You seem to be a good candidate for rhinoplasty. Well executed rhinoplasty should keep the width of the nose and tipp appearance as it is but lower the dorsum and overprojected tip. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, expert in rhinoplasty, is recommended. Good luck.

Changing the nose from the front view, for someone like you, is neither very necessary nor important.  You have a bit of a curve to your nose which could be straightened, but, otherwise, we could easily adjust the side while keeping the front essentially the same.
