FOLLOW UP QUESTION: Slim, upturned nose. Anyway to make nose slimmer and more defined?

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty, a cephalic rotation of your tip to turn up your tip slightly, and a dorsal hump reduction.  Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer animation system.  You should be able to view numerous pictures of actual patients with noses similar to yours performed by your surgeon.  If you cannot find enough real before and after pictures, then consider continuing your search for a surgeon.

Best wishes and good luck.

Hello,
With the adequate rhinoplasty techniques, your nose tip can be upturned and narrowed with natural looking result.  Visit your doctor and try to watch similar cases so you can have realistic expectations on your result.
