I'm really unhappy with the way my nose looks side on. People make comments like Pinocchio and big nose and it gets me down.
Answer: Smaller nose possible? Yes, your nose could certainly be made "shorter" and less pointy looking. I think you have realistic concerns based on your photos. Find a good facial plastic surgeon in your area and set up a consultation!

Answer: Could I have a nose job to make my nose smaller or less pointy? You can have a more refined nose that is natural in appearance with a rhinoplasty to deproject the tip and reduce the pointy nature. I perform these surgeries with closed technique to preserve the structure of the nose and minimize visible scarring.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Could I have a nose job to make my nose smaller or less pointy? The areas that concern you can be realistically cosmetically improved with a rhinoplasty.Keep in mind that following advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do based on limited two dimensional photos without examining you, physically feeling your tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history and discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not be in your best surgery. Natural appearing results need to be individualized and what is appropriate for one patient is not necessarily the best for someone else. I would suggest that you find a surgeon certified by the American Board of American Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or facial plastic surgeon (otolaryngologist) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.Robert Singer, M.D., FACSLa Jolla, California
