I want my surgeon to have a lot of experience with this type of nose and can create a nose with a reduced width/ thinner nose. The location does not matter. I am willing to travel for a very good surgeon.

Answer: Wide nose Hello and thank you for your question. I suggest you thoroughly research rhinoplasty expert surgeons. There are several conservative changes which could be performed to accomplish what you desire. It is possible to perform a tip narrowing and refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Cartilage grafts can also be performed to improve the tip refinement. You will likely need osteotomies and may require weir excisions depending on your anatomy. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon who you are comfortable with. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.Best wishes and good luck.

Answer: Rhinoplasty to narrow a wide nose A full set of facial photographs are required to make any determination about what can and cannot be performed to narrow a wide nose. In many instances, thick skin is a significant contributor to the width of the nose, so it is very important to have realistic expectations with what can and cannot be accomplished with a rhinoplasty procedure. To narrow wide nostrils requires an alar plasty procedure. To narrow the tip requires suture techniques and a conservative cartilage removal when necessary. To narrow the bridge line requires osteotomies placed in the nasal bones. Digital computer imaging would be helpful in communication process between the patient and the surgeon. For many examples and more information, please see link and the video below
