My nose sometimes looks decent straight on but when I smile, I feel like the tip droops and it just looks long and bulbous. I've been self conscious of it for years but I don't think I'd want to do a full rhinoplasty. I honestly just want my nose to look more attractive and feminine. I think I'd want to do a tip refinement but would that result in what I'm looking for? Also could I ever get a nose somewhat similar to either Jenna Dewan or Megan Fox? Their noses are so delicate and beautiful.

Answer: Should I Do a Nose Tip Refinement? Or Do I Need to Do More for a More Attractive Nose?
Refining the tip in a nose like yours will have it appear more delicate and streamlined in the manner you describe. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Answer: bulbous tip and weak chin profile
It's usually best in most cases to perform a full rhinoplasty rather than just a tip plasty. Suture techniques will narrow the nasal tip cartilages which can be performed along with cartilage removal. Releasing of the depressor septi ligament also help prevent the tip from drooping upon animation. When a weak chin profile is present, a chin implant is usually recommended at the same time as the rhinoplasty to improve facial balance. Please see the link below for examples of the combination rhinoplasty and chin implant in our practice. We also have a virtual plastic surgery software on our website to see what your new nose and chin might look like.
