Will a nose job help my protruding nose?

Question

I feel like my nose protrudes too far out. One New York doctor refused to touch my nose saying that, “It is a hard nose to work on… There is no room for error… your nose is perfectly fine… It’s straight.” Another doctor near Scranton said he’ll “touch it up” for over $5,000 (which I think is a rip off, especially when he said ‘’we’re only going to shave off a millimeter’’). I will post a side profile picture and you can tell me what you think.

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.The harmony between facial parts makes us instinctively recognize the beauty... without knowing it, without defining it, just a perception that surprises and captivates us.In this regard, I suggest perform a Closed Rhinoplasty (without visible scars) to treat the tip, base and nasal bridge.With this procedure you get a delicate nose, better harmonize with your other facial features.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

The projection of your nasal tip should be around the length of your upper lip. Digital photos are not a substitute for an examination, and your photos are limited for evaluation.Consider re-asking your question with full-face frontal, profile and oblique photos, along with a detailed description of your concerns and what you would like to achieve with Rhinoplasty Surgery.Hope this helps.Dr Joseph

Hello and thank you for your question.  Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a dorsal hump reduction.  The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with.  With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result.  I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.Best wishes and good luck.Richard G. Reish, M.D.Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Hello, I cannot tell from the pictures where the area of concern is. Regardless, this is a judgment call you will have to make. If it is really important to you to shave this bump, then go to a reputable surgeon to get it done. Otherwise, leave it alone.
