It is difficult to make recommendations from the single photo.  Photos from multiple standard views would allow for analysis.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

"Angular" face and nose two separate issues.  Discussion in person is best approach so treating surgeon clearly understands what you dislike, what you want, and can evaluate all features three dimensionally, including their relationship to one another.  Proceed with care;  Whatever is done must promise improvement.

I need to see a full set of photographs to give you a proper answer to your question. What I can tell you is that your bulbous tip can be refined but should be accompanied with grafts to prevent a pinch tip etc.  See a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who does natural looking noses to avoid an overdone operated look.

Robert Singer, MD · Answer

Following
the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you
exactly what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue,
assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing
the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best
interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American
Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You
should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.

It is hard to give you advice based on this particular photo.  You are correct, in that angular faces are not necessarily a feminine trait.  Women are more feminine and beautiful with soft, subtle facial features.  You can use fillers or implants to shape the face.  As for your nose, it can be reduced and refined very naturally to fit your features.  Please post better photos or e-mail photos for more specific evaluation.
