I have an extremely large nose with a bulbous tip and large nostrils. It doesn't suit my face since I have a recessed lower jaw and poor forward development. I'm not looking for a small, dainty nose and wouldn't even mind it being a bit on the larger side (like David Gandy's). However I would like to reduce the tip and reduce the size of the nostrils. Is this possible? What can be done? I keep reading that thick nasal skin severely restricts what can be done, and I suspect mine is thick.

Answer: Rhinoplasty: Thick Skin Dear William Laws, Thank you for your question. It is difficult to make an accurate assessment and recommendations based on photographs alone. I recommend you seek an in-person consultation with a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who is a rhinoplasty specialist who can perform a thorough examination and discuss with you the surgical plan that will best meet your treatment goals. If you do demonstrate thick skin, the types of changes that can be achieved with rhinoplasty may be more subtle but they are still possible. If your jaw is recessed as well, you could also benefit from possible chin augmentation.

Answer: Standard rhinoplasty Based on this photo but short of in person evaluation it is my impression that you are a good candidate for regular rhinoplasty. In person evaluation and discussion about your options with a plastic surgeon with good reputation in rhinoplasty is recommended. Good luck.
