Rhinoplasty candidate? Wanting a more feminine nose (photos)

Question

I'm wanting a smaller more feminine nose. The side profile is too big and manly and just doesn't fit my face well. The tip projects when I smile, and the cartilage on the the tip of my nose is starting to project, (comes up on both sides and makes a V shape). The skin is also thicker in this area. My nose is also crooked (although I don't have breathing problems with this). Looking for some guidance

Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. The length of the nose can be made shorter, and it can be lifted up a little. The tip can be better defined as well, all while keeping things looking natural. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty expert for consultation

Thank you for your question. You are an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty, I think it is one of the most beautifying surgeries that we do as plastic surgeons. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to rhinoplasty surgery. It is important to only see plastic surgeons with extensive experience in rhinoplasty, ie perform at least 6 per month and have performed hundreds of cases. Also, critically evaluate on-line galleries to see if their art form resonates with yours. Rhinoplasty is definitely a grey haired plastic surgeon's sport. Best wishes to you.

Your nose would look much better if it were smaller and didn't hang as much. I think you are a good candidate and it would be worth going on a few consults. Bear in mind there are many ways to perform rhinoplasty so don't be surprised if you hear differing opinions.

Dear Honest2470,
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 surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
