How can I make my nose less pointy from the side? (Photos)

Question

Hello doctors, I love my nose especially in the front. In fact some people have asked me if I got a nose job just by looking at the front. However, I find that from the side it looks a bit too prominent and Sometimes I get self conscious about people taking a picture. What would you recommend as a suitable treatment for someone who wants to soften the features from the side but overall keep the same shape? Would a non surgical nose job also be an option? Thank you in advance.

Based on what you're posted, I do not believe you have an excessively pointy nasal tip on profile. You appear to have a small and unobtrusive nasal appearance that blends in. Sometimes it's best to just leave things as they are. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs.  Admittedly I do not feel that your nose is too pointy but an in-person examination of the area that most concerns you would offer the best treatment. I would see an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon in consultation to discuss your concerns.

I think you have a very nice nose and would avoid any nose surgery or fillers. That is my honest opinion. If you do decide to do something, I recommend you start by seeing an experienced aesthetic physician for a detailed in person consultation to discuss your concerns.

I am not at all sympathetic. You have a great face and a great nose as well. I would take a cruise or buy something. Leave your nose alone.
