What kind of alterations should I get to my nose so that it suits my face?

Question

I want to change the size and shape of my nose as I think it looks big on my rather small face and overwhelms other facial features and also the tip is a bit bulgy.

Hello,
Thanks for your question.Every nose is unique, hence each rhinoplasty is customized depending mainly on two factors- 1. Current shape/structure of the nose and its skin 2. Patient's demands (realistic demands).So, the changes you want to see in your nose should be very clear in your OWN mind first- you should think and decide what changes you want, then discuss them with a board certified plastic surgeon to get an idea if the changes are achievable. The structure of your nose also plays an important role in getting the possible results that match with rest of your facial features. You appear to be a good candidate for rhinoplasty and the changes you desire can very well be achieved. All you need is an in-person meeting with an experienced plastic surgeon. All the best.

Your nose appears broad on your face with a wide amorphous nasal tip .A nasal tip plasty with reducing width of bony vault can help your nose look smaller and improve definition of your nasal tip

Charles H. Thorne, MD · Answer

I think your analysis is good. If you are interested in your nose looking smaller and the tip less bulbous, those are achievable goals. You should sit down and discuss with a plastic surgeon but I would suggest that the width of the tip AND the width of the alar base (where the nose meets the cheeks) be narrowed. On the side view, the bridge should be lowered so your profile is more elegant. It looks like you are a good candidate for rhinoplasty.
