What can be done to my nose? (Photo)

Don't worry about Michael. You protect against that by selecting your surgeon well.
What I see for your nose is to narrow the tip and bridge, lower the bump on the bridge, elevate the tip, and bring the tip and entire nose back closer to your face, helping to make it less prominent. That last movement is called "deprojecting" the nose.


How *much* to elevate or narrow the tip, or deproject the nose, or make other changes? We figure that out with morphs, well before surgery. I'd love for you to see some excellent professionally-designed morphs of what could possibly be done with your nose. Morphs could also help you identify better just what's bothering you, and help you set a goal for the rhinoplasty that's accurate for your tastes. Profile and three-quarter views would be particularly important in morphing your nose. (Side note: in my opinion, morphs should really be done by the surgeon, or he should direct an assistant as she makes the morphs. Morphs should be made with a constant eye to what actually *can* be done in surgery, for that particular nose, and the surgeon has that information and judgment best.)

Finally, remember that rhinoplasty is an exquisitely difficult operation to get right, and you should only have surgery if you are able to make yourself very confident in your surgeon's skills. The changes that your nose needs require advanced techniques, and skill that most plastic surgeons don't possess with expertise. It's much better to not have surgery than to have inexpertly-performed surgery. Read my essay on how to stay out of trouble while selecting a rhinoplasty surgeon. And it also discusses how to take photos that are best for online evaluations.

Hi from Istanbul! Several techniques can refine your nose's appearance, focusing on enhancing the tip's shape and structure, which appears to be a key concern for you. By employing cartilage stitching and support techniques, the cartilages can be refined to be narrower and more defined. Osteotomies could slim the nasal bones, and alarplasty can improve nostril shape. A well-executed rhinoplasty aims to deliver a natural, proportionate look that harmonizes with your facial features. Choosing an experienced surgeon whose aesthetic vision matches yours is crucial to avoiding an overdone appearance. You can definitely have the type of nose you describe without looking like Michael Jackson. Hope this helps!

Are you a candidate for a Rhinoplasty? as you correctly point out, you have a dorsal hump and bulbous nasal tip. These are routinely addressed during a standard rhinoplasty. It would take a lot of surgery and a very deliberate effort to get a nasal tip anything like Michael Jackson. Frankly, the opposite is true. People with very bulbous tips, particularly if the skin is somewhat thick, Will tend to get softer tips with less definition which are less “pointy“ than they sometimes would like.
