Crooked, lines, tip goes down. What can be done to improve the look of my nose? (Photos)

Question

I have never liked my nose especially when i smile. It is crooked and there Are som many lines on the side which dont to well with my hollow eyes. Its fine from profile but the rip goes down when i smile and you can see every bone structure on it. The top of my nose is very thin and then it gets wider and then thin and then wide again, is it possible to do a rhinoplasty or is the other things i can do?

You would benefit from a rhinoplasty.  The bulbous tip can be reduced and the dorsum made straighter.  If you have problems breathing then you may need a septoplasty.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. A surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Fascial grafts may also be used to help improve tip refinement. The mid-vault can also be improved with surgery. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

Rhinoplasty surgery may be a good idea for you.
The dorsum of your nose could be augmented with a large cartilage graft.
There are a lot of things to discuss.
I suggest by focusing your efforts on provider selection.
Schedule several consultations with plastic surgeons in your community with specialize in rhinoplasty surgery if there are any.
Look for plastic surgeons for members of the rhinoplasty society.
 This is not the type of rhinoplasty that should be done by those who don’t have experience.
Ask providers to show you before, and after pictures of previous patients who had similar procedures.
Bring a set of facial pictures with you to use as reference during the consultation.
The line did form when you smile may be challenging to treat.
Best,
