Nose looks piggy and bulbous. Is it possible to make my nose look like the picture? (photos)

Hello!
Thank you for your picture and question!Based on the pictures you have submitted It does appear that you would be a great candidate for a Closed Scarless Rhinoplasty. A closed rhinoplasty procedure is the best option for someone who is looking for a refinement of the nose. I recommend going to a Plastic Surgeon that specializes in closed scarless rhinoplasty (preferred by actresses and celebrities) because there is no risk of external scarring and much less healing and recovery time. Closed rhinoplasty enables you to have flash recovery with very minimal bruising if at all. You will only have to wear a cast for 5-7 days, no one will know you had anything done. All the incisions are made from inside the nose. The goal is to finesse and enhance the nose without drastic change. It still looks like it is your nose just more refined without looking fake. Meaningful refinement is the key!  All the same surgical maneuvers your nose requires can be performed with a skilled closed scarless surgeon. 
Best of luck,

Hi,
Your desired look should be improved according to your face s propotion. You can have balanced and natural looking which matched with your desire.
And there is always a finite limit about how much a nose can be changed safely. By Closed and Atraumatic technique  your healing will be maximal and tissue damage minimal.
Regards,

I would recommend starting with a consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon that specializes in rhinoplasty surgery to discuss if rhinoplasty can address your concerns. 
I would recommend writing down the following questions before scheduling your consultation:
1. Are you unhappy with the tip of your nose? 
2. Do you feel that your nose is too wide? 
3. Do you want to make your nostrils smaller in appearance? 
4. Are you looking to decrease the general size of your nose?
I hope some of these questions will help you pinpoint what it is that you don't like about your nose.  Cost will vary due to various factors like anesthesia fees, facilities fees, etc. I wish you the best as you research your options when scheduling a rhinoplasty consultation.
Sincerely,
Philip J. Miller, MD, FACS Double Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon

Hello and thank you for your question. You appear to have a bulbous nasal tip and thick nasal skin.  Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty and debulking of the soft tissue of your nasal tip skin.  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.
