To me my nose looks feminine from the side, I wouldn't want to change that however, looking straight at my nose it appears very wide and lacks definition. It's very boney. What can be done to fix this problem?

Answer: Nose bridge is very wide and boney, what could be done to fix it? Every nose is different and unique to that individual. If the appearance of your nose concerns you enough to do something about it, it can be improved with a natural artistically performed rhinoplasty. What would be the best option and exact procedure would depend on an in person examination (not just an online consultation) and discussion about desired outcome. Excellent results can be achieved with either a closed or open technique. Keep in mind that following advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do and how technically to do it based on 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 interest. 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 with extensive rhinoplasty experience certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and one who is 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. Robert Singer, M.D., FACS La Jolla, California

Answer: More skinny nose please (photo) The top of your nose, the base of your nose, and the tip of your nose can all be narrowed without changing your profile substantially. It will look nice if properly planned and executed by an outstanding surgeon. My approach would be open. The upper lip is as vertically long as it can be, and if disregarded, may drop more after rhinoplasty. I would elevate it slightly during your nose surgery for a thicker and fuller upper lip. It will match your lower lip nicely.
