Unlike most people I’ve never had too many complaints about the profile of my nose but I have always been self conscious about how wide it looks straight on. What can be done to improve this?
Answer: Rhinoplasty Hi @emmalemonn. Thank you for sharing your photos. You are an excellent candidate for a rhinoplasty. I recommend seeing an expert rhinoplasty specialist for an in person examination. There are several options for you that can be determined after examination.

Answer: What can be done for a wide nose? What can be done for a wide nose?. I agree with your assessment that your nose appears wide in the front view but your profile looks quite good. A Rhinoplasty can refine the width of the tip and bridge and leave the profile essentially unchanged. However sometimes changing one feature of the nose alters the appearance of another. so for example, from the front you nose may appear to be an appropriate length but making the nose more narrow may make it appear slightly longer. A tiny adjustment in the length which would slightly affect the profile might be advisable to keep all the proportions of the nose , length, width, projection, etc. in harmony.

Answer: Self-conscious about wide nose - What can be done to improve this? Hello @emmalemonn thank you for your question. The nasal alae are part of the nasal structure. When modifying the nose, symmetry must be preserved and for this reason the surgical plan must be complete including the functional part and the nose completely. In this way it is possible to reduce the width of the nose and harmonize the rest of the structure. For more information and recommendations it is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
