I think my nose is too big and manly. Is it possible to make my nose more feminine? (photos)

Question

So I don't like my nose. I inherited it from my father. I think it's too big and... manly. And just doesn't fit my face. I want more feminine, smaller one. I'm aware that I can't have /exactly/ the same nose like someone else, but I still got my 'ideal nose' type that I think would fit my face better. I'll upload photos of it along with photos of my nose. Is it possible for my nose to look like this 'ideal type' through surgery? And if not then how can I make my nose look better?

The tip and dorsum can be refined, and the tip can be deprojected.Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds  
of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year.  Then look at the 
 plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a   
sense of who can deliver the results. 	Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Your nose can be made more attractive and feminine with rhinoplasty.  You have deep radix, over projecting tip, boxy tip, and an over projecting tip to name a several issue that can be improved with a rhinoplasty.  Find someone who has experience and can demonstrate that to you with pre and post op photos.  Also consider finding someone who is a member of the rhinoplasty society.

Hello,Facial feminization and nasal feminization is our specialty.  There are a number of aspects that go into making a nose more feminine, and just having a "rhinoplasty" is not typically the answer. In your case, feminization of the nose will be a good solution.You'll likely want to "deproject" your nose, and address the undersurface where your nose is hanging down somewhat.I encourage you to learn more about this and best of luck!

Dear Steph4nie, You are an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty surgery. Thank you for adding the full facial picture to see your overall facial structure is always helpful.To see what your nose would look like and the feminization it will bring to your overall facial aesthetics it would be helpful to use a digital imaging computer during consultation. This will allow you to see the proposed surgical result and the surgeon will then discuss what needs to be done to attain this result. In your case fixing the over projecting tip and refinement will add the feminization you are looking for. Computer imaging will also help you to make sure you are on the same page as your surgeon. Rhinoplasty is a very rewarding procedure for patient and surgeon alike.  Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
