Your nose is a direct reflection of your ethnic background, which, in itself is related to the genetic make up in heritage of both your parents. Without more information, we can’t really tell you, but my best guess is that you have Middle Eastern or North African heritage. Individuals from this part of the world sometimes have a slightly larger projecting nose with significant fullness of the nasal dorsum. There’s no needed operation unless you want to change your nasal appearance. During consultations for rhinoplasty surgery, most plastic surgeons look for individuals who have a clear understanding of the changes they want to undergo. Unless you have a clear understanding of the changes, you desire in your nose, you may want to consider avoiding permanent irreversible facial Aesthetic surgery for now. Individuals with excessively large noses, sometimes have a desire for reducing the size of the nose. This is sometimes referred to as a reduction rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty surgery is a spectrum of many different operations. Plastic surgeons usually subdivide the nose into different subunits and we usually address each of the sub units differently. You can always have a few in person, consultations with plastic surgeons in your community to see what they have to say. Generally speaking patient should avoid surgical intervention unless there’s a clear indication for it. Best, Mats hagstrom, MD
