What is wrong with my nasal bone? (Photo)

Question

I think something is wrong with my nasal bone as I have tried to research it so many times. It's too thick which causes me to have sunken in eyes! I have makeup on but without it they are dark blue ugly circles. My nose is also droopy, big, and just too thick. I have no self confidence because of it. Please help me find out what's wrong with it; I would love to feel confident again...

It looks like you need to have you nasal bones narrowed a bit. More views would be helpful. Best of luck.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

A closed rhinoplasty approach can narrow the wide nasal bones and wide nasal tip. To narrow wide nasal bones requires osteotomies placed in them and manually narrowing them. The wide tip can be addressed with a combination of suture techniques applied to the lower lateral cartilages, and sometimes a conservative cartilage removal as well. For many examples of narrowing a wide nose, please see link below

It is difficult to determine the issues with your nose based on your photos.  Ideally, nasal photos need a frontal, oblique, and side view. That being said, it looks like you have a narrow face and nose that may be overly projecting.  This coupled with mild loss of volume in the upper cheeks and thick nasal skin, results in the prominent appearance of your nose.  A conservative reduction of the nasal tip and bridge may address your concerns.  As always, it is important to personally consult with a board-certified Plastic Surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty.

Richard W. Fleming, MD (retired) · Answer

The increased width of your bridge is secondary to the position of your nasal bones, not their size. Other undesirable nasal features are not visible with these pictures but changes will be made when your nose is narrowed during rhinoplasty surgery. I need to see pictures as described on my website.
