Snub-nose on face with otherwise masculine features- how should I describe the type of result I want to a plastic surgeon?

You can decrease the short appearance of the nose by undergoing rhinolasty to lengthen it as well as thin and define it better. It is not easy to lengthen a nose so be sure that you are seeing a rhinoplasty specialist for consultation.

Thank you for your question and photos. Your nose does seem disproportionately small for the rest of your facial features. The tip is also wide. A tip refinement would help to narrow the tip, while lengthening of the bridge would improve the overall size. Make sure you select an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who will take the time to listen carefully to your concerns and goals. I also offer image morphing for my patients to help them visualize results prior to surgery. Good communication between a patient and surgeon is critical to ensure the patient’s expectations are met after the procedure.

I agree that, in general, your nose is pretty good. It is straight and reasonably symmetric. Your plastic surgeon should be able to take your concerns and correlate them to your nasal analysis; addressing an over-rotated tip, refining the tip and/or adding to the dorsum/radix could be considered.

Best of luck!

Yes I think your face looks great, including your nose. But I understand what you don't like about your nose. Your tip can certainly be refined by reducing the bulk, narrowing it and giving it a bit more definition. Your skin looks like it might be a bit on the thicker side which will limit how much definition you might be able to get. In addition the dorsum looks like it might be a little on the low side. You might consider adding height to the dorsum which will then allow some tip grafting to strengthen the tip. These are just some thoughts you can discuss at your consult. Take photos of noses you like. Communication is the key to getting the results you want. Good luck.

Your nose is proportionally small to the rest of your facial features. An augmentation rhinoplasty will be needed, to increase in height, both your bridge and tip, as well as providing some narrowing and definition to the tip.

The rhinoplasty is one of the more difficult and personal operations that a Plastic Surgeon is asked to perform. I believe a personal consultation with a Plastic Surgeon is your best option.He can tell you your attainable results and realistic results. You certainly do not have a bad nose, but certainly could be improved with some refinements
