Why do I hate my nose? Would I be a candidate for a nose job?

Question

Do I have a bulbous nose? What can a surgeon do to make it look smaller, smoother and more deffined? Will I be a good candidate for a nose job?

Jacob Tower, MD · Answer

Hello, hope you are well. Yes, the tip of your nose is relatively wide ('bulbous'). Rhinoplasty can be performed with the goals in mind of reducing tip size and improving tip definition. On a technical level, the tip cartilages of the nose are re-shaped to achieve the desired changes. Your nose also has many positive attributes that should be preserved (e.g. symmetry). Good luck!
Cheers,Dr. Tower

Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. The tip can be made more narrow which will be a nice enhancement. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty expert for consultation.

Hello! Thank you for your question. As far as I can understand from the photos you have bulbous and undefined nose tip. Also you have thick skin so you need to be patient about the recovery stage. With rhinoplasty surgery you will have more defined and small nose tip. It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best Regards!

Hello, A rhinoplasty surgery can enhance the shape of the nose by making the tip less bulbous and more defined. It can also make the overall size of your nose smaller. It is better to have consultation with a facial plastic surgeon to discuss the areas of your concern and what can be done to achieve a satisfactory nasal shape

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

Your nose is somewhat too large and the tip is bulbous. You would be a good candidate for a conservative rhinoplasty

Robert Ciardullo, MD · Answer

Do you have a Bulbous nasal tip? you do appear to have a Bulbous nasal tip. The profile looks OK. Your  nose certainly does not cry out to be done. However you could have a limited rhinoplasty focusing on the tip, or if you want a slightly smaller nose  overall, that could also be done. It all depends on what your end goal would be.
