So I went to consultation with a plastic surgeon and they told me my nose is impossible to make smaller due to the thickness of my nose on the outside and how thin it was on the inside and attempting it would kill my skin. Is there really no hope for me to get a smaller nose. This is my biggest insecurity and knowing even plastic surgery can’t fix it is very upsetting.
Answer: Ethnic rhinoplasty for a more refined nose Hi from Istanbul, thanks for your question. Rhinoplasty in cases like yours requires a specialized approach, often involving advanced techniques and a high level of expertise. I have extensive experience with ethnic rhinoplasty, having performed hundreds of these surgeries.

Answer: Asian rhinoplasty to create a slimmer, more defined nose Asian rhinoplasty is a specialized form of nose job surgery that requires techniques and knowledge that not all rhinoplasty surgeons will feel comfortable attempting. The surgeon you consulted with is correct in saying that a thicker skin envelope paired with thinner nasal framework means that creating a smaller, more refined shape becomes challenging, however in the hands of an Asian rhinoplasty specialist you can expect a beautiful, natural result in a very safe and predictable manner.

Answer: Can't say imposibble Hi, this is Dr Burak Olgun speaking, we can't say impossible but after surgery you may not see big change due to thick skin and this may not satisfy you as a person. My suggestion is to go first a dermatologist for your acnea and scars. This type of treatments from the dermatologist can affect the skin thickness in a better way and this may help your surgery result too.

Answer: Is it possible? Is it possible? Yes. but you have to have realistic expectations as to how much smaller it can get. Your surgeon is absolutely correct that you have thicker skin meaning that you will never have a cute small nose like what you might see on social media. You could try something like accutane to try to shrink the nasal skin some but it only will do so much. Beyond that, you will need to have pretty robust cartilage to support a skin that thick to get any kind of definition so you are definitely looking at rib cartilage. The nose can get smaller/more defined but you have to be realistic about "how small" that is and what is involved to get that look.
