Is my Nose is Too Big and Masculine Looking for my Face?

Refining and feminizing a large nose is possible with your nose. The bump needs to be removed and the tip refined and stabilizing the projection of your nose, The bridge should be narrowed from the front view. Make sure you see a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon whose noses you like and do not look surgical to get the best result.

Looking at your photos I wouldn't necessarily say that your nose is masculine appearing. However, it does look too large in proportion to your surrounding facial features. This includes the fact that your lower face (primarily the chin and jaw) is slightly smaller (proportionally) to the middle and upper face. That being said, you could likely benefit from having a rhinoplasty procedure to reshape the nose. Based on the two photos provided, it would be my goal to reduce the bridge height while also narrowing the nose. I would also recommend trying to define the tip with possible 'deprojection' of the tip (meaning bringing it closer to the face). Much of this depends on how thick your skin is since this can be a limiting factor when it comes to cosmetic nose reshaping. It would be best to consult with a local facial plastic surgeon so that computer imaging can be done to get a more realistic idea of the desired direction and degree of change. Make sure you choose a facial plastic surgeon who has a practice dedicated to rhinoplasty. There are a lot of plastic surgeons out there who offer rhinoplasty as part of their 'menu' of services, but simply do not do this type of surgery on a regular basis. An experienced, board certified rhinoplasty surgeon is going to have a comprehensive photo gallery of patient examples that should help you get a good idea of their particular esthetic and style. I would be happy to offer you a complimentary appointment in our San Diego office.
