Some people think my nose is cute because it’s pixie or elf-like. When I was younger boys made fun of me, calling me stuck up because of my nose shape. When I look at my friends and celebs no one has a nose like mine. I don’t feel sexy and I’m obviously self conscious about it. I’m considering finding a plastic surgeon for a nose job. Does anyone know if some surgeons specialize by type of nose job, or is a nose job just a nose job?
Answer: Short or Pixie Nose
Hi,
From your description, it appears that you have a small and up-turned nose. This is consistent with a nose that is short in comparison to the rest of facial features.
You can have a good result if your surgeon is committed and patient. This is the type of operation that requires expertise and experience. Please make sure that your plastic surgeon is passionate about getting the best possible results and listens to your desires carefully and answers all your concerns.
Hope this was helpful.

Answer: Difficult Rhinoplasty
A small or "pixie" nose can certainly be reshaped, but a nose job isn't just a nose job -- particularly when the goal is to make the nose bigger. This type of rhinoplasty (sometimes called "augmentation rhinoplasty") can be quite complex and generally involves adding tissue. Most often, this is from your septum, ear, or sometimes rib cartilage. I recommend seeing at least two or three different plastic surgeons. This will help you refine what you want, allow you to hear different philosophies, and select both an aesthetic and a doctor that you like. In addition, computer imaging can be a valuable tool in your discussions and will help you define what you do and do not like. Best of luck going forward!

Answer: Treating upturned, pixie nose
Rhinoplasty surgeons don't usually sub specialize in only treating the upturned nose. If you are interested in improving this consulting with a few experienced rhinoplasty surgeons would be recommended.
Counter-rotating the nasal tip is challenging but certainly feasible. I find that this is less difficult in patients like yourself who haven't had prior surgery.
There is certainly a range of normal tip rotation (how upturned it is). Computer morphing of your nose would allow for a better discussion of your goals and how attainable they are given your anatomy and other facial features.
