What type of rhinoplasty would suit my bulbous nose? (Photos)

Question

I am really insecure about how bulbous and big my nose looks, I'd like it to be more similar to regular noses like for example Angelina Jolie :/ Could that be done in any way for my nose?

Hello! Thank you for your question.From to photos you provided I can say that you have bulbous nose also your nostrils downward and wide. For more elegant and small tip and even, upward nostrils I recommend you rhinoplasty surgery. With the alar base reduction your nostrils can be fixed as you wish. It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best Regards!

Thank you for your question. Your nasal tip belongs to the bulbous tip category, and good results can be expected with the surgical method. Surgery is possible through trimming and realignment of lower lateral cartilages (alar cartilages) in the tip. A natural increase in the tip height is aesthetically recommended and requires a structural cartilage graft. The cartilage donor is the septum or ear.

Dear Carie22,
Thankyou for providing pictures as a reference. In my professional opinion, everybody has different facial features and according to your pictures you have a thick skin, therefore you need to set realistic expectations in terms of reduction, your nose can be reduced as much as your tissues will allow that to do so. Your nose can be slimmed down and tip and nostrils can also be reduced. Additionally, you will need some preparations for your skin to improve the quality pre-surgery.I am attaching a link for before and after of this procedure if you would like to look deeper into this surgery.

Best Regards,
