I am 20 years old and unsure as to what would be the best course of action to improve the appearance of my nose. Would rhinoplasty be most beneficial? Or would a less invasive treatment, like tip plasty, be better? Thank you in advance for any advice!

Answer: Rhinoplasty candidate for wide bridge and tip The decision to perform a rhinoplasty is a personal one, and only you can make that decision. Computer imaging of your new nose might be helpful in the education process. In the far majority of cases, a full rhinoplasty is required, not a tip plasty. To narrow the wide bulbous tip, suture techniques are applied to the lower lateral cartilages. Sometimes a conservative cartilage removal is also performed when the tip cartilages are excessively wide. Osteotomies of the nasal bones are required to narrow the wide bridge line. For many examples of narrowing a wide nose, please see the link below

Answer: It depends .. It is difficult to tell for sure from the photos you've provided and it depends ofcoarse on what bothers you about your nose. It would be helpful to see a profile view and a photo from below. Overall you may benefit from some narrowing and perhaps shortening of the nose to make it less prominent on your face. This will bring more focus on your eyes. A formal rhinoplasty would be the best way to achieve this. It's important to get a consultation with a surgeon who focuses on rhinoplasty.
