Can I achieve a Megan Fox style nose (defined nasal bridge) with rhinoplasty while still preserving my ethnicity? (Photo)

I think that you can get close to that appearance.  The skin thickness will be the ultimate determinant of the level of refinement.

Scarless Rhinoplasty is absolutely the answer.  
This is the approach all celebrities, models and actresses take because there
is no external cuts or scarring.  The goal is to refine the nose, not
drastically change the nose.  By doing subtle refinements we are able to
finesse the sculpt the nose to match your face perfectly.  We can
permanently contour your nose!  By doing this via a scarless
(closed) approach, there are no external cuts ever on your nose.
 This prevents the dreaded complication of external scarring at the
base of the nose, which even if rare, if it occurs, is devastating.
 Through a scarless approach you can accomplish almost everything needed
to be done to the nose with no scarring, less healing time, less bruising, and
less swelling.     





For your nose you would need exactly what you are envisioning with refinement of your bridge, bones and nasal tip.  





Do consult a board certified plastic surgeon who
performscarless rhinoplasty as 100% of his/her surgical practice and does
hundreds of these procedures a year especially on celebrities and Indian background skin.





All the best!

yes, you can have a nose that is similar to hers but with slightly thicker skin.  See a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who does natural noses and can straighten your nose, narrow your nose, refine your tip etc.  Choose a surgeon who does natural noses and not the overdone look. Do not rely on imaging but rather results. 

Your nose is not curved very much, but it does have a bump and bulbous tip.  Feminization with rhinoplasty can definitely help.  Skin thickness does affect the end result.  Good luck and I hope this helps!

Thanks for your question and photos. You can definitely improve your nose in the aspects you mentioned. A rhinoplasty can achieve all that. Like you said, getting close to Fox nose is not realistic and doesn't fit you. The only major limitation is skin thickness. Good luck.  

A significant limiting factor in rhinoplasty results is a patient's native skin thickness. "Ethnic" rhinoplasty results can differ significantly from those in a Caucasian patient due to the inherent difference in skin thickness. That being said, even within ethnicities there can be a large array of difference in skin thickness as well. 

If you are looking to take down a dorsal hump, this will reduce the height of the nose on profile and frontal view, and when things are made shorter in height, they can end up looking less defined. Your nose looks like enough height can be maintained to maintained though. The tip of your nose can be narrowed to help reduce the fullness there and to create a more balanced line. However, you do need to be cautious in overly narrowing the tip as you do not want to compromise your breathing. Take your time moving forward with this, and always make sure you get all your questions answered!

Good luck!

Thank you for your photos. It is definitely reasonable to have a straight, smooth, and defined nasal bridge without losing your ethnicity. It is good to hear that you understand how noses differ across ethnicities and that an excellent result is different depending on your ethnicity and your facial proportions. To achieve your desired look, you would require osteotomies (breaking and repositioning the nasal bones) as well as some cartilage resection and manipulation to smoothen and define some of the featuers of your nose while keeping it natural and appropriate for your facial features. Hope this helps!

A rhinoplasty procedure can accomplish shaving down the dorsal hump and giving more definition to the sidewalls of the nose. To obtain definition in the sidewalls of the nose requires osteotomies placed in them. The osteotomies also close the open roof created from hump removal. All of this is accomplished via a closed rhinoplasty approach with all  of the  incisions placed on the inside of the nose. For more information  and many before and after examples, please see the video and the link below 

Rather than
trying to look like someone else,  it is important understand what can and
cannot be accomplished with your nose in order to be in harmony with your
other facial features.Every nose is
different and unique to that individual. If the appearance of your nose
concerns you enough to do something about it, it can be improved with a natural
artistically performed rhinoplasty. What would be the best option and exact
procedure would depend on an in person examination (not just an online
consultation) and discussion about desired outcome. Excellent results can
be achieved with either a closed or open technique.
Keep in mind that following advice from a surgeon on this or any other website
who proposes to tell you exactly what to do and how technically to do
it based on two dimensional photos without examining you, physically
feeling your tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical
history and discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not
be in your best interest. Natural appearing results need to be individualized
and what is appropriate for one patient is not necessarily the best for someone
else. I would suggest that you find a surgeon with extensive rhinoplasty
experience certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and one who is
ideally a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that
surgeon in person.

A rhinoplasty can definitely change the size and shape of your nose. It's great that you are so clear in your desired outcome. It is a really helpful guide for any surgeon when a patient brings in photos. But determining whether or not a rhinoplasty can deliver Megan Fox's nose requires an in person exam. So, my best advice would be for you to find the board certified plastic surgeons in your area who specialize in rhinoplasty and schedule a consultation with the one or two whose work you like best to be assessed in person.Kindly,Kouros Azar
