What type of nose would suit me best? (Photo)

Question

I would like to change the shape of my nose as i think it doesn't suit my face. I would appreciate your feedback on my enquiry.

A natural looking rhinoplasty without the overdone look is what you need. This would include removing your nasal home, narrowing the nasal bones slightly as well as refining your large nasal tip. See you very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who does natural looking noses.

Computer imaging would be helpful to give you an idea of what can and cannot be accomplished to give a natural appearing nose. It's also important to have specific parameters in mind when going in for your consultations. Shaving down the dorsal hump, narrowing the bridge, and narrowing the tip can be accomplished with closed rhinoplasty techniques.

HI Alex,Your nose can be refined to harmonize with your face.  The most important thing for you to do is to make sure that you choose your rhinoplasty surgeon most carefully based on experience, skill, and artistic vision.  See at least 3 or 4 surgeons in consultation and then choose carefully.  Good luck and be well.Michael Persky, MDEncino, CA

After seeing these 2 pictures I suggest that you reduce your profile slightly and narrow and refine your wide tip. Subtle changes would give you a natural result that would be proportional to your surrounding facial features.

From the attached photos, the nose appears to have a slight C-shape from the front, a slight dorsal hump with a wide tip that is under-rotated.  A Rhinoplasty would be able to address these issues creating a softer, more refined, naturally attractive nose.  Hope this helps.
