I know this might sound weird, but can a small nose be made bigger? My nose is really small and awkward on my face and I would like to know if it could be made bigger to fit my face. I don't mind the shape of my nose, but its just to small, the space between my nose and lips is wider than my nose, which I find really unattractive. I would like my nose to be proportional to the rest of my face.

Answer: Making the nose bigger The nose can be augmented in every direction as needed using the cartilage from the septum, ear or the rib. I have described a reliable technique for making the short noses longer which I have called it tongue and groove technique for nose elongation. There is a scientific way of analyzing the nose and deciding what needs to be done to bring the nose in harmony with the rest of the face. You need to consult a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in making a short or small nose longer or bigger.

Answer: Making a small nose bigger Rhinoplasty means to change the shape of the nose. While most patients may think of nasal reshaping as solely making the nose smaller, often times it means creating a pleasing contour of the nose to match the face. This can mean making certain aspects of the nose wider or more projected based on what imaging and what is possible. Prior to committing to a change to the nose, keep in mind that rhinoplasty is a permanent surgical procedure and not like purchasing a consumer good such as a television. Imaging prior to the case can be helpful to understand patient's aesthetic desires to help surgeon and patient agree on potential changes.
