Is it possible for me to get a button nose? (Photos)

Question

I am a black female that wants a button nose/Latina nose.

Hello, Thank you for your question. Your nose can be significantly reduced and improved by rasping the dorsal hump and refining the tip by providing tip support and rotating for a feminine bridge. Natural nose suitable with your facial features can be achieved by the Closed Atraumatic Technique which protects the anatomy, strenghtens weak parts and eliminates a scar on the columella.

Hello.
Great question. Thank you for your pictures. Based on your images, it appears you may benefit from a rhinoplasty procedure. Please visit a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed surgical plan to achieve your desired results.

Lucian Ion, FRCS · Answer

The simple answer to your question is yes.
The more complex part is related to how much change you seek.
In the reference photograph the tip defining points are above the level of the nostril sulcus, which is considered by many to be elegant but also fairly upturned.
This appearance softens the features and is considered by many to be attractive. It would help you to assess in a computer simulation whether this works with the rest of your features.
In addition, in the reference image the tip defining points are slightly squarer to produce this shape, which would require similar changes for you. To achieve the increased definition, the soft tissues around the nasal tip may need to be thinned slightly.The support under the tip needs to be strong so rib cartilage may be necessary.

Hello and thank you for the question and sharing your photos. I believe you are a good candidate for rhinoplasty. You have a bulbous tip and would benefit from a rhinoplasty procedure focusing on nasal tip refinement. My best advice is that you discuss your concerns and aesthetic goals with a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in performing rhinoplasty. I would ask to see before and after pictures of their real patients. It's important that you trust your surgeon's skills and ability to achieve the results you are looking for. In particular, pay attention to your surgeon's experience with rhinoplasty. Best,

Hello, I suggest a thorough consultation with a specialist rhinoplasty surgeon who can show you the option for you.  A better shape can be achieved with surgery and you need to discuss this with your surgeon after the examination as this will be a physical and emotional journey. You need to consider cartilage and bone condition, skin quality and evaluate risk/benefit ratio. Choose wisely your surgeon.
