Why does my nose look like a nose of a pig and how can I fix it? (Photo)

Question

When I was still a toddler I have a history of falling down the stair and I nearly died. Is this one of the main reasons why my nose is like this. I really want to know because my nose is so different unlike my family, I was asking why do I feel so different.

Hello and thanks for your question.
Based on your photos, you have an ethnic nose. That means your nose has low height and wide nose base, wide nose tip and flared nostril ( nose ala or wings). For your case I recommend; decreasing of the bone wideness with osteotomy ( your nasal bone can be approximated to each other) , height of your nose can be increased with cartilage graft, tip part of your nose can be reshaped to get triangular, more defined, feminine nose tip shape. Lastly your nasal nostril can be decreased in size. I think this combination will give a good result for your case.
Best of lucks.

Dear Honest813704,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from rhinoplasty. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
