Why is my nose so big and short? (Photo)

A rhinoplasty can give you a more attractive knows. If you are female this can be done at 14 years of age. With males I wait until 18 years of age. I've done this for 35 years and have never had any further growth beyond these guidelines.

Dear Secret 12 in Milpitas:



Noses change during the teenage years. It is true that it might look better in the
future. At this point, at age 13, all
bets are off. You should wait several
years and have evaluation at that time.
You may be pleasantly surprised that the nose appears better on your
face but only Nature knows your destiny.



At that time, consult with surgeons who specialize in
nasal surgery and who have a long enough experience to share that with you.



Best wishes,

Your nasal tip needs to be refined and contoured.  When it is made more narrow, it will appear longer.  As you mature, your facial features may change slightly, so you may want to wait until you are over sixteen years of age to consider surgery, to allow that process to complete itself.

Male noses change until early age 18 and sometimes up to age 21. Most female noses stop changing by age 16. You have no control over that.
