Is my nose obstructive (in size)? Do I need a nose job? (Photos)

Based on your photo, you would be a candidate for rhinoplasty to make your nose smaller. While it does not look overly big in the photo, the main deciding factor in doing the procedure is do you not like the appearance. If you don't, then find an expert rhinoplasty surgeon to consult with.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. Maneuvers for your surgery would include dorsal hump reduction, tip refinement, nasal tip deprojection, tip elevation, among other maneuvers. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

Your photograph is inadequate. I need a frontal view, both side views and a view looking up the nose from the floor to give you an accurate answer.

Best Wishes,

The best patients for rhinoplasty surgery are those who have strong dissatisfaction with the appearance and function of their noses, for a long duration of time. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph
