Very interested in rhinoplasty. What improvements can be made to my nose? (Photos)

Question

After years of being self conscious of my nose I'm able to seriously consider rhinoplasty. I would be grateful for any suggestions as to what improvements could be made. Thanks in advance.

Hello, You can rhinoplasty surgery to make your nose looks smaller by decreasing its projection, also the tip can be made mare defined and less droopy by rotating the tip up. You have a slight deviation that can also be improved. It is better to consult with a rhinoplasty surgeon to examine you and discuss how your nose might look after the surgery.

Thank you for sharing your questions and photos. Ideally, your entire face would be included in the photo as well as lateral/profile views. However, from what can be seen in your photos it appears you would require only subtle changes to make large improvements in the overall appearance. The nasal dorsum and nasal tip are slightly large (overprojected) and some additional definition could be achieved in your nasal tip. Again, it's hard to tell based on the views provided, but a small chin implant could improve overall proportions on profile view. If you're seriously considering surgery a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon that specializes in rhinoplasty would be the next step. Surgeons often offer simulated imaging to show you anticipated "after" results. This can be quite informative and can be performed for both the rhinoplasty and chin implant results. Good luck! Best wishes, Dr. Harmych

Thank you for your question. You are an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty. I think rhinoplasty 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 needs to be reduced by lowering the bridge and raising the tip. There are many different ways to approach a nose do I recommend a few consults to compare the options.

In person exam is essential. Based on limited photos- it appears that you are a good candidate for Rhinoplasty (preferably performed through a closed technique). In the right, experienced hands - you can expect a very pleasing result. I suggest that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS

What improvements might be made to your nose? The photos you present are somewhat limited but based on what I can see, it seems that your nose is slightly long and over projecting by textbook standards. Making your nose slightly smaller, meaning slightly shorter and slightly less projecting would be the goal if your taste is consistent with the textbooks of aesthetics.

Hi and welcome to our forum!
From your photos, I note that the nasion is midline and appears straight. Nasal width appears normal. The bridge is slightly high. The nostrils are symmetric and do not flare. The nasal tip demonstrates good definition. 
In order to determine the best procedure for you, we need to know a bit more about the nasal features you find disturbing as any change would be subtle. Your nasal bridge could be slightly lowered to create more of a "feminine curve". 
Visit a board certified plastic surgeon for evaluation and discussion.
Best wishes...
