Theres no bump or hump its just large and I want to make it smaller like in the picture I attached. Would that be possible and also could you recommend something that would go with my face and fix my side profile. I like how m nose looks from a front just not the side. Im in the front two pictures and the last picture is a wish pic.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your
photograph, you may benefit from a nasal tip de-projection to make the overall size of your nose smaller.  This is different from merely reducing a dorsal hump.  This surgery can have a great result in the right hands.    Make sure you specifically look at before and after
pictures of real patients who have had tip de-projection surgery performed by your surgeon
and not just a computer animation system. The most important
aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek
consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate
you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

The changes you describe can be achieved with revision rhinoplasty.If you want the best idea of what is possible for your nose, do your due diligence, find an experienced surgeon, and have him/her evaluate you in person and discuss your options. Looking at computer-morphed images with your surgeon during consultation will give you a good idea of what is possible, and also give you a great chance to convey to your surgeon what you envision.

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.The harmony between facial parts makes us instinctively recognize the beauty... without knowing it, without defining it, just a perception that surprises and captivates us.In this regard, I suggest perform a Closed Rhinoplasty (without visible scars) to treat the tip, base and nasal bridge.With this procedure you get a delicate nose, better harmonize with your other facial features.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Thank you for the question and photos. When choosing a cosmetic procedure, the most important consideration is what matters to you. Therefore, the job of a plastic surgeon is to attend to your concerns as opposed to judging your nose as too pointy or too large. That being said, rhinoplasty can certainly reduce your nose while preserving its original shape and aesthetic. Oftentimes, even slight changes can produce a dramatic effect on appearance, improve your breathing, and fill you with self-confidence.

An in-person exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon is always the best way to assess your needs and provide a reliable medical advice. Best of luck! Dr. Michael Omidi.

You would have to be seen in person to determine what would be best for you to achieve your goals. Best of luck.
