Correcting my nasofrontal angle & reducing size? Nose too big on all angles! (Photos)

Question

It's pretty obvious on what's wrong with my nose. It's huge. From the side, it almost looks like a straight line. There is a small dent between my forehead and nose. And there is also a small bump on the bridge. From the front it is huge & fleshy and gets even wider when I smile. I really hate it & I want to get it fixed but I'm not sure what to do exactly?

Robert Singer, MD · Answer

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 procedure can accomplish deepening the nasofrontal angle and reducing the high radix. The dorsal hump can be shaved down, and the bulbous tip reduced, with a closed rhinoplasty, whereby all of the  incisions are placed on the inside of the nose. For more information many examples, please see the link and the video below

Richard W. Fleming, MD (retired) · Answer

A rhinoplasty can be done to reduce the width of your entire nose including the bridge, tip, and nasal base. The nasofrontal angle and radix can be lowered to achieve separation between forehead and nasal projection. These changes will provide a more feminine appearance.
