Question

Is there a way to shorten my nose, or make it less pointy?

Edwin F. Williams, III, MD · Answer

It is a little difficult to answer the question with the
photos you’ve provided however I’m sure if you find a very experience
rhinoplasty surgeon they can assist you in determining if you are a good
candidate. This can often be done with computerized imaging and I’ve attached a
video to outline the process.

Jmmnbfd,Your nose is rotated downward and out from your face.  This is creating the look of a pointed nose with long nostrils.  I routinely deproject to reshape the nostrils, and rotate the tip to create a more attractive profile and appearance.  Also, you may benefit from some adjustment of the top of the nose where it starts (an area we call the radix).Should be readily achievable to help make your nose and face more atrtactive and feminine.

A rhinoplasty can help to decrease the size of your nos, make the tip less round, shorten your nose so it is not as pointy and decrease your nostril show.  All of this is done by meticulous trimming of the cartilage of your dorsum and suturing shaping of the cartilage of your tip to create the balance you seek.  See a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed examination, internal and external.  Once the exact nature of your anatomy is known, a specific plan can be created to achieve those goals.  I use computer imaging to help patients understand what an expected result would be.  Best wishes.

Steven M. Denenberg, MD · Answer

You have strong tip cartilages, that are making the tip a little wide, and they are holding the tip of the nose down. See the "Web reference" link, just below my response. I made a computer morph of your nose, and an animation of the morph, to show the changes that are possible for your nose in truly expert hands.
I elevated the tip of the nose. I also lowered the height of the bridge a little bit. You can see the changes best in the animation.Your nose is interesting in that it does indeed appear long, but the morph demonstrates that it doesn't have to be shortened by a huge amount to get it to a good position.There is little we do specifically for the nostrils, but whenever the tip of the nose is operated on, the nostrils tend to get shorter, because they don't extend as far toward the tip of the nose after surgery.You should understand that the changes I demonstrated in the morph require advanced techniques, techniques that most plastic surgeons cannot handle.  Be sure to read the section in the "Web reference" link on how to stay out of trouble while searching for a rhinoplasty surgeon.Your nose is also a good example of why computer imaging is mandatory in rhinoplasty. You need to know exactly what the surgeon is planning to accomplish -- what features he'll change, and by how much he'll change them -- so you know whether it's enough to be meaningful to you, and whether he understands your wishes enough to address all of your priorities. Then, he must show you before and after photos to prove that he can actually accomplish what he draws on the computer.

Reduction rhinoplasty reduces the length of her nose and also can change the tape to a more round appearance.  The prices very from surgeon to surgeon and are based on geographical location as well.  A surgeons fee can range from $5000-$20,000.RegardsDr. J

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. Cartilage grafts may also be used to help improve tip refinement.
You may also benefit from a cephalic rotation of your tip to turn up your tip
slightly and a conservative dorsal hump reduction. Cost varies by geographic region.  The most important aspect is
to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. With good surgical technique, you
could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a
qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

You appear to have thin skin with a droopy nasal tip. Consider consulting several rhinoplasty specialists so you could see what to expect after well performed surgery.Thank you.Dr Joseph

William Portuese, MD · Answer

A rhinoplasty procedure can address decreasing the overall projection of the nose, shaving down the dorsal hump, refining the tip cartilages and narrowing the nostrils.  Computer imaging would also be helpful at the time of examination and consultation to get an idea what can be accomplished with the procedure. For more information and many examples, please see the link and the video below

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

I think you need a proper exam in person examining you at all angles and performing an internal exam as well. Once this is completed, and a review of your concerns is accomplished, a surgical plan can be formulated.
