Hmm, well my nose lacks shape pretty much. It is basically a triangle on my face, while most other people's noses sides' to come in at the bottom (if that makes sense). Is there a way to "bring in" the sides of the nose by the nostrils? Also I feel like most people's nostrils are sort of triangular, while mine are shaped like squares. And they're not even symmetrical. What are some recommended procedures to feminize my nose/fix these problems? Thank you for your time!

Answer: Nose Shape Thank you for your question! The concerns you have for your nose are actually quite common, and something that we hear from patients who are investigating Rhinoplasty. In short, most (if not all) of your concerns can be addressed with and open septorhinoplasty. From your pictures, I believe that increasing your tip projection would help to give back shape, and will also help to give the base view a more triangular shape. This is only the first step, and you would need a full evaluation to know exactly what you would need.Your next step is to schedule a consultation with a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon or General Plastic surgeon, who specializes in Rhinoplasty.I hope that this helps!-David Gilpin

Answer: How can I make my wide, shapeless nose look more feminine? Traditional reduction rhinoplasty involves rasping of the dorsum, tip definition with elevation, and narrowing of the nasal base. Some patients benefit from alar reduction. Heavy or sebaceous skin over the tip may interfere with the ultimate result.The surgical maneuvers performed by the surgeon may not be noticeable because of the thick skin. This can be the problem in your case. Nonetheless, I believe you can have great improvement when surgery is performed by a skilled rhinoplasty surgeon
