What type of nose shape do I have? (Photos)

Yours is a case of oversized nose with massive bulbous or clown's tip.Therefore you are a case for open approach, massive tip reduction and tip plasties (Ortiz-Monasterio's alterate transections of domes); additional dorsal reduction and, very important: paramedial resecion of the dorsum to narrow it. Of course osteotomies. Eventually you could consider an optional alar base resection.The only difficult part is the high angle of your nasolabial fold and the short septum syndrome (yours is a so called short nose), in need of septal lengthening of some kind to prevent over rotation and a subsidiary piggy nose deformity.Yours is a medium-high difficulty nose, do research well on high-end rhinoplasty surgeons.

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.Through rhinoplasty we make small changes, but that is quite noticeable. 

After having analyzed all the info. and photos provided to us, i recommend you perform a Full Rhinoplasty, includding narrowing of the nasal base, with nasal bones treatment, and alar and triangular nasal cartilages shaping.With this procedure you get a delicate nose, better harmonize with your other facial features.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your
photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can
accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your
lower nose.   Make sure you specifically look at before and after
pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon
and not just a computer animation system. The most important
aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek
consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate
you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Dear charles, You could have improvement in the appearance of your nose through rhinoplasty surgery which would address narrowing the bridge of the nose as well as refining the nasal tip. If you decided that rhinoplasty was something you would like to have performed then  I would suggest that you seek consultation with some experts in the field of rhinoplasty surgery. During your consultation have imaging performed to show you the proposed results taking into consideration your desires as well as your nasal anatomy and skin thickness. Once this is done the surgeon can discuss the techniques which will be used to attain the desired result. Review the surgeons before and after photographs to ensure natural looking rhinoplasty results. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
