Can Rhinoplasty help my face to look more feminine? (photos)

Question

Every time I had short hair in my life I expierenced that I was mistaken for a boy / young man. I think that mostly my nose is making my face look masculine. Could Rhinoplasty help me to make my face more feminine?

I agree in that your nose is somewhat prominent. Softening the size of the tip and creating a slightly more concave or upwardly rotated nasal tip can soften facial features especially a woman. In addition, you might also benefits from some reduction on the size of the nose overall and the tip is slightly bulbous; by reducing those features it would restore some more balance to your face. Good luck in your area.

The goal of a rhinoplasty is to create a nose that blends with the face.  The beautiful features of the face are the eyes, smile and skin.  There are times when the nose does not "fit" the face and a rhinoplasty can bring the face into balance.You have many beautiful facial features including your eyes and skin.  You need to make a few changes to your nose in a couple of different areas to create a more feminine nose.  I would suggest:1)  Removing the hump2)  Narrow and define the tip3)  Slightly raise the tip4)  Straightening the nose from the frontAll of these changes would improve the appearence of your nose without changing the character of your face.During a consultation, imaging morphing would be a great tool to help you communicate or "see" what you believe would ideal nose for your face.  I hope this helps.

Rhinoplasty and browlift for a more feminine look. These two will change your masculine nose and brows for a more attractive  feminine appearance.

I do agree that reduction rhinoplasty would help feminize your face. This would reduce the dorsum, narrow the nose, and refine the tip.  Also a minimal incision brow lift can improve your brow position and shape.  Best wishes!

Felidae, your photos are actually
fairly well aligned; good job! I do feel a well done rhinoplasty would help you
accomplish your goal. There are other issues you may want to consider too but
your nose would definitely be the primary one. Seek the opinion of several
facial plastic specialists with at least 10 years of experience. A good start
is to look at their web sites for training, peruse their photos and make sure
you like the results and then schedule a visit if all looks well. Experience
and volume are key for predictability of results. Good luck!

There is no question that rhinoplasty would help soften your face but that alone would not be the complete solution. The other more masculine feature of your face is your jawline. Reducing and narrowing your jawline and chin would also be helpful with any rhinoplasty procedure in the spirit of the overall goal of improved facial feminization.

If the appearance of your nose concerns you, it can be cosmetically improved with a natural appearing rhinoplasty to make it look more refined and feminine performed
by an expert artistic plastic surgeon with extensive rhinoplasty experience.

Keep in mind, that following the advice
from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you what to do
based on limited 2 dimensional photos without examining you, physically feeling
the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and
discussing the pros and cons of the proposed operative procedure with you and
your parents may not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a
plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a
member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or facial
plastic surgeon (otolaryngologist) that you trust and are comfortable with. You
should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.

Yes, you're a good candidate to refine and feminize your nose with rhinoplasty. The specific procedures involved would be narrowing the tip, shaving down the dorsal hump, narrowing and straightening the bridge line. This can all be performed through closed rhinoplasty techniques as an outpatient surgical procedure. For many examples, please see the link below
