I have hated my nose for a while now, the tip of my nose is just so long and big especially when I smile and seriously considering rhinoplasty to fix it. But I'm also having some doubts such as if I'm overing reacting and its not as noticeable as I think. Anyway my question is if my nose unporpotionate to my face or if I'm going to "grow into it" as I'm still a teen.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. It depends on how old you are and you would need parental/guardian permission. Based on your photographs alone, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty and a cephalic rotation of your tip to turn up your tip slightly. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this 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. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Does my nose ruin my face? No, your nose does not ruin your face. You have a very prominent nose for which a rhinoplasty can improve, once your at least 16 years of age. You will still need parental consent. From the one limited side profile, it appears that there's a weak and recessive chin profile for which a chin implant may also give some improvement to augment the chin forward, which will help with facial balance and proportions, especially with respect to the overly projecting nose.
