Is It Possible to Reduce the Nostrils on a Big Bulbous Nose??

Yes.  It is called alar base reduction.  This can be performed within the nostrils and the incisions hidden or in the crease between the nose and the cheek. 

Yes, you describe problems that we deal with everyday.  I tend to not like photoshop programs as much as some other doctors and even patients. I think it is more valuable to see before and after pictures of patients with similar features to you to try to get a feel for how the surgeon deals with these problems.  The after pictures are actually results that your surgeon has attained. 

Good luck!

From your photos you do seem to show reasonable goals. Tip skin thickness is the main limiting factor when reducing the size of the nose. An exam would help verify your goals, but certainly refining your bridge and narrowing your nostrils is possible. With refining the tip one must be careful not to overdo it at the expense of hindering your nasal breathing.

You should certainly bring your morphed photos to your consultation as they would be very helpful during the discussion with the surgeon.

I think your goals are very realistic and the changes that you demonstrated on the imaging are fairly attainable. Reducing the projection and narrowing the nostril base (alar base reduction) would certainly help to give you a nose which is more balanced with the rest of your face. Reducing the bulbous nature of the tip is achievable, however, with thicker skin, you will have to be reasonable with the amount of definition that will be produced and will also have to wait at least 8 to 12 months to see the final results as this subtle healing take quite a long time.

Make sure to find someone experienced in your area, and good luck!

Thanks for posting before pictures - it makes it much more informative.  You do look like a good candidate for rhinoplasty and the areas of your concern can certainly be improved with rhinoplasty.  Without an in person examination of your nose and facial anatomy, it is impossible to give you expectations.  I would recommend finding a board certified plastic surgeon in your area.

 

Good Luck.
