I just want my nose to be thinner from the front like I have a wide upper lateral cartilage and a bulbous tip. I know it won't look exactly the same as my inspo but is it possible?

Answer: I think it's realistic to get the frontal view narrower like your inspo. More... Besides the wide tip cartilages and the wide placement of the upper lateral cartilages, it looks like the upper third of your nose, the nasal bones, are also widely-spaced. But narrowing the bones is usually rather predictable in a rhinoplasty, so that's good. The hardest part is dealing with the tip cartilages, but in expert hands, some substantial improvement is likely there, too. How *much* to narrow the various parts of the frontal view, or make other changes (I haven't seen photos of the 3/4 views or the profiles)? We figure that out with morphs, well before surgery. I'd love for you to see some excellent professionally-designed morphs of what could possibly be done with your nose. Morphs could also help you identify better just what's bothering you, and help you set a goal for the rhinoplasty that's accurate for your tastes. Profile and three-quarter views would be particularly important in morphing your nose. (Side note: in my opinion, morphs should really be done by the surgeon, or he should direct an assistant as she makes the morphs. Morphs should be made with a constant eye to what actually *can* be done in surgery, for that particular nose, and the surgeon has that information and judgment best.) Finally, remember that rhinoplasty is an exquisitely difficult operation to get right, and you should only have surgery if you are able to make yourself very confident in your surgeon's skills. The changes that your nose needs -- particularly the work on the tip -- require advanced techniques, and skill that most plastic surgeons don't possess with expertise. It's much better to not have surgery than to have inexpertly-performed surgery. Read my essay on how to stay out of trouble while selecting a rhinoplasty surgeon. And it also discusses how to take photos that are best for online evaluations.

Answer: Rhinoplasty outcomes Yes, it is possible. BUT make sure you have a very thorough consultation with a true Rhinoplasty surgeon. Describe your ideals and have the surgeon show you what they would look like with computer morphed images. This ensures that you see what it looks like on your face, and that the surgeon understands your aesthetic desire. Good luck!
