I’m a female and feel like my nose is to masculine, what can I do to fix it? (photo)

Rhinoplasty in your case can elevate and soften the tip to appear more feminine and give the nose a softer appearance.  It is important to meet with a surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty and convey to them your goals for the surgery.  

Hello and thank you for your question and sharing your photographs.
There are several aspects that we associate with gender specifics when it comes to nasal shape. 
The overall size,  and position of the tip defining points,  the angle under the nose,  and the  straight or slightly ski slope contour of the  profile.
The characteristics of your nasal skin allow you to choose with relatively good flexibility among these potential changes.  I generally find helpful to have a computer simulation for the images to allow you to define your personal goals.  This makes the whole process more focused,  and the advice provided  to you more  accurate.

Hello,Thank you for your question. Based on your limited view you may benefit from the deprojection, refinement of the tip with slight uplifting for a more feminine appearance. Rhinoplasty is one of the most challenging procedures in plastic surgery, and tip plasty is its most difficult aspect. The lower lateral cartilage is (LLC) is the primary structure that is responsible for the shape and function of the ala. I have developed a Novel Technique which is called as Superior-Based Transposition Flap to reshape, relocalize and reinforce the LLC as a support material for both internal and external valves with aesthetic corrections, leaving the scroll area untouched. I use suturing techniques to achieve a narrower, refined and aesthetically pleasing tip. 

Comparing to the open rhinoplasty Closed and Atraumatic technique in Rhinoplasty minimizes swelling and bruises; maximizes healing, prevents tissue damage and eliminates a scar on the columella. To find out more before and after pictures please click on the attached link.

The main problem with your nose is that it has too much projection, meaning it stickers too far out from the face.   Your nose could be set closer to your face and refined to achieve what you are looking far.

Hello and thank you for your question. You have an overprojected nasal tip which makes your nose appear "pointy".  Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty, a nasal tip deprojection to shorten the overall length of your nose, and a cephalic rotation of your tip to turn up your tip slightly.   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.  You should be able to view numerous pictures of actual patients with noses similar to yours performed by your surgeon.  If you cannot find enough real before and after pictures, then consider continuing your search for a surgeon. Best wishes and good luck.

I can see that your nose is overprojected, a bit sharp, and the nasolabial angle and columellar flatness don’t provide you with a feminine profile. A more refined, feminine silhouette can be achieved by gently reducing the projection of your nose and trimming your lower-lateral cartilages while also giving you a softer nasolabial angle. This will bring your nose closer to the face and will decrease the masculinity of your nose. These maneuvers are often performed in my office, and I believe you would benefit greatly from a rhinoplasty procedure.
