What type of nose surgery would have the best results for making my face look slimmer? (Photo)

In general, a rhinoplasty will not make the face appear slimmer. This can be accomplished with:1) Buccal fat removal (if there is excess fat in the cheek area)2) Botox for the masseter muscle (a temporary fix)A rhinoplasty can bring one's facial features into balance, but will not affect the width of the face. I would recommend a consult with a board certified rhinoplasty specialist, as he/she may morph a photo of you to give you an idea of how the final result of surgery may appear. I hope this helps and best of luck.

The effect of a well done rhinoplasty can be profound on the width and other features of the face-- good and bad.  In your case it is likely that a nicely done rhinoplasty would enhance not only the appearance of your nose, but of the face as a whole.

Rhinoplasty with tip refinement and narrowing, etc. will give you a more attractive nose. I would need to examine the nose from different angles to give a more detailed explanation. See an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon whose noses are natural.

Rhinoplasty surgery can help refine your nose while staying balanced with the rest of your face.  The best recommendation is to consult with a board certified specialist who can guide you and assist you with achieving the results you seek.  3-dimensional computer imaging can help you visualize what you may look like afterwards and serve as an important communication tool with your surgeon.

Dear Ileana9,It's probably best for you to see a rhinoplasty specialist who will take time with you to show you via computer imaging what is possible. In that way you can take time to really review the images and have a good sense of what you would look like and what aesthetic is most suitable for you.Good rhinoplasty in often an issue of millimeters and with the pictures it looks like you have a bulbous tip and may also want to reduce the nostrils slightly. (We would need to see you in person to get a sense of the profile and what needs to happen there.)All the best,Peyman Solieman, MD

Thank you for the photos and questions. Go to one or more specialists who will take your photos digitally and then with your input alter them so you might see a potential final result on your face.  That way you will know what can and what cannot be accomplished with surgery Dr Corbin

Dear Ileana, A consultation with digital imaging will be able to show you the proposed aesthetic results from surgery. After the imaging is done a surgeon will be able to discuss with you the exact procedures that need to be done to achieve the desired result. A rhinoplasty will not make your face slimmer however it will appear that way. With your nose being a bit broad this detracts from your other facial aesthetics. Once the nose is more defined, and the tip reduced your other lovely features will be more apparent and in better harmony. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.

A rhinoplasty will not make your face look slimmer but  your wide nose does distract from your other excellent facial characteristics. Narrowing your entire nose including the bridge, tip, and nasal base will make it proportional to the surrounding facial features. I would like to see you when you're not smiling before making specific recommendations so you achieve a natural non-surgical result.

Yes, having a rhinoplasty would thin and refine your nose.  You do have a bulbous tip which will also be thinned. This will give you a softer look.  You do have some fatty tissue in the nasolabial fold area which can be reduced to further thin your face.
