Question

Could anything be done to improve the shape of my nose and make it thinner?

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on these photos, you may be a candidate for ethnic rhinoplasty. This procedure strives to slim the bridge of the nose, refine the nasal tip, and bring the nostrils in while preserving your nose’s ethnic integrity. I would schedule a consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon who specializes in this procedure before moving forward with treatment. Look for surgeons with extensive experience in this area and make sure they offer digital photography, which can help you see what you might look like with rhinoplasty.

Suleyman Tas, MD, FEBOPRAS · Answer

Given the thick skin you need to set realistic expectations as there is a limit how much a nose can be reduced safely without compromising functional issues. An expert in rhinoplasty is able to bring in your nose from the front and augment the bridge from the side view. It is possible to make it with a Closed Atraumatic Technique to protect the tissues of your nose while reshaping and strengthening your nose.

Thank you for the question and photos and I would go on some consultations with experts that use digital photography to show you what can be accomplished with your nose and how it might be done after a full examination and discussion of desired results and then look at photos of similar patients and become fully informed about the desired procedure
