Would a nose job be worth the investment? What changes would be made and about how much would it cost? (Photo)

I think that reducing the width of your nose is reasonable.  The tip can be reduced as well as the width of the bridge.  I would perform this in closed fashion.  Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

The appearance of your nose can be improved with an
artistically performed rhinoplasty. The length of the procedure, cost, and the specific operative steps to achieve an ideal cosmetic result vary from patient to patient and would depend on an examination at a consultation and discussion about desired outcome.No one ever "needs" a rhinoplasty. It is an elective procedure
and only you can determine if your nasal features concern you enough to do
something about improving the cosmetic appearance of your nose and whether it
would be worthwhile.

Keep in mind that following advice from a
surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to
do 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 ethnic 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)
or a facial plastic surgeon(otolaryngologist) that you trust and are
comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.
Fees vary depending on the extent of the procedure, location of the surgical
practice, and experience as well as the reputation of the surgeon.
