I hate how wide my nose is: Is it possible to fix it and still look like myself? (Photo)

Question

Is it possible to fix this but still look like myself? I included a picture before and after photoshop as an example.

Ali Sajjadian, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your inquiry!

It seems that you are a good candidate
for a conservative rhinoplasty providing you with narrower nasal look that will complement your facial features and preserving a natural look overall. However, without a physical examination
it is not possible to provide you with specific details. I highly recommend
that you schedule a consultation with a well-experienced surgeon.

It is important to mention that the
finest cosmetic results in any particular case are based on a variety of
factors, including: the unique anatomy of the patient, realistic expectations,
a well-informed and detailed discussion with your plastic surgeon concerning
the best options for you especially covering a deep understanding of the pros
and cons of any given choice you will adopt.

Please keep in mind that following the
advice from a surgeon online who offers to tell you what to do without a
physical examination covering the nature and the status of the tissue,
assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the
pros and cons of each operative solution would not be in your best interest.
With that in mind, it is the safest and for your best interest to find a
plastic surgeon with solid experience and certified by the American Board of
Plastic Surgery who is ideally a member of the American Society of Plastic
Surgeons that you will trust and be comfortable with. You should discuss your
concerns with that surgeon in person.

Good luck!!!

Best is to seek ONLY IN PERSON evaluations from boarded PSs in your city/state. Than you can be examined and determine the =best route to proceed...

William Portuese, MD · Answer

The desired changes can be made with the rhinoplasty procedure. To narrow the wide nose, osteotomies are usually required. Sometimes additional cartilage grafts are placed across the bridge to build height as well.   N inarrowing the wide nostrils is performed with an alar- plasty. Narrowing the tip is performed with suture techniques to the lower lateral cartilages.
