I'm looking into rhinoplasty. What is the best option to give me a shorter, more narrow nose? (Photo)

First of all, thanks for your question. You have wide, overprotected nose tip and bump on the nose issues when I evaluate your photos. And you are a suitable candidate for the ultrasonic rhinoplasty technique. With enough experience, the nostrils can be corrected symmetrically, and you won't encounter an annoying score. Best regards.

Thank you for your question and photos. Rhinoplasty is an ideal approach to reshaping the nose and can create a shorter and more narrow appearance. The goal is to bring the nose into balance with the other features of the face for a harmonious result.
Closed rhinoplasty can create a natural and proportionate aesthetic without visible scarring. This may be an option for you, but it would require an in-person examination to know for sure. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon, with expertise in rhinoplasty techniques, who can address your concerns and inform you of what you may expect from your procedure.

You are a good candidate for a rhinoplasty. This would involve barely noticeable incision across the bottom base of the nose (columella). Usually rhinoplasty makes the nostrils more symmetric, but nothing is 100% perfect in any type of surgery.

Based on your photos, you are a good candidate for rhinoplasty. The size of the nose can be reduced and the length shortened. Just be realistic with expectations. You can't start with a large nose and make it really small - that's where you usually run into problems. Be sure to see an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon for consultation, where computer imaging can be done at the same time.

Hello and thank you for your question. You are a very good candidate for rhinoplasty. Because your nose is such a visible part of your face, it is important to consult with an experienced surgeon who specializes in plastic surgery.
In your case, the hanging columella can be raised, nasal wings can be shortened, nostrils can be smaller and overall appearance can be changed to give it more definition while maintaining its natural look. In my practice, I use a technique called Piezo which minimizes swelling and bruising. You will heal comfortably and get back to your daily life in a very short time. Best wishes.

The one thing I notice in rhinoplasty surgery is a tendency to leave the nose too long. It’s pretty straightforward to shorten the nose yet many surgeons fail to do this, especially in a case like yours. I would do a closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty often doesn’t include a strategy to shorten the nose that works as well.

Thank you for sharing your photos! It is difficult to say without examining you in-person, but there are different approaches to rhinoplasty. I use both closed and open techniques depending on the individual patient’s needs and perform rhinoplasty as an outpatient procedure under IV sedation. One advantage of the closed rhinoplasty is there are no visible scars. A nose should fit your facial features, skin tone, ethnicity, and height. A good surgeon will work with you to arrive at the optimally harmonious look. I suggest making an appointment with a plastic surgeon for consultation to discuss your options.

Rhinoplasty options: making a nose shorter and more narrow is a common goal in standard rhinoplasty. If you are afraid of scars then you might consider a closed rhinoplasty which leaves no scar across the columella. Also you may wish to avoid a nostril tuck since this also leaves external scars and may cause nostril asymmetry if it does not already exist.
