Hello! Thank you for your question.As far as I can see from your photo you have a dorsal hump.For get rid of this image I recommend you rhinoplasty surgery.If you can provide photos with better lighting, from the side of your face and 1 meter away I would be able to make a proper evaluation. It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best regards!

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your description, it sounds like your concerns are the shape of your nose (nasal tip?) and also the dorsum. I see a nose with a small dorsal hump, and under-rotated poorly defined nasal tip. Addressing the dorsal hump and the shape of the nose (particularly the nasal tip) are 2 of the most common reasons people seek out and undergo a rhinoplasty. Many people complain that their nasal tip is too "bulbous" or "boxy" or just poorly defined, and that they would like it to be smaller, cuter, more defined, or more feminine. An open septorhinoplasty can best address the entire nose, and is particularly effective for addressing all the issues you are concerned with. 
In addition to addressing your aesthetic concerns, your septal cartilage would be harvested (removed) and turned into multiple cartilage grafts, which would then be secured into different areas of your nose for structural support. 
The open approach is very effective in facilitating complex, precise maneuvers to refine the nasal shape and size to a particular aesthetic and look. Rhinoplasty is arguably the most difficult procedure to perform in all of plastic surgery. That said, I would recommend only going to see a surgeon who feels very comfortable with both primary and revision rhinoplasty procedures, and who has significant training and experience in these types of surgeries. This is a surgery of millimeters, so if the surgeon you're going to only does 1-2 per month, you are not going to get the best result possible. 
Regarding the anesthesia, my personal preference is similar to most- full general anesthesia to assure the most controlled environment and facilitate the best possible aesthetic results for such a complex procedure. Everything ultimately comes down to surgeon and patient preference, so always have the conversation with your surgeon so you both know exactly what to expect, and so you both feel comfortable with how the procedure will be performed prior to proceeding. 
Of course it is always difficult to provide tentative surgical recommendations, as there is only so much information to be gained from the photos and description provided. I recommend for you to come see me or another plastic surgeon comfortable with rhinoplasty procedures for a formal consultation to thoroughly discuss your surgical goals, undergo a formal examination, evaluate all your options (surgical and nonsurgical), and decide on the best procedure(s) and type of anesthesia for your specific case. I hope this helps! 
Best wishes, 
Dr. Donald Groves

Hi , rhinoplasty can enhance the nasal profile including length width nasal bump or tip work. It is better for you to consult with a facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and discuss the surgical procedure and the post op recovery process.

Andrew Miller, MD · Answer

Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. The tip is wide and slightly droopy, along with a little nasal bump. This can be improved with a well performed rhinoplasty, so be sure to seek out a rhinoplasty expert for consultation.

Based on your photos, you may have a slightly crooked nasal appearance with a bulbous droopy tip and a small profile bump. Depending on your examination, rhinoplasty surgery may be considered for achieving a less distracting nasal appearance. I hope this is helpful! Dr Joseph

Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a "nose job," is a surgical procedure that can achieve various cosmetic and functional goals. The specific outcomes of rhinoplasty depend on the individual's goals, anatomy, and the surgeon's expertise. Here are some of the primary goals and results that cosmetic rhinoplasty can achieve:
Cosmetic Improvements:Reshaping the Nose: Rhinoplasty can alter the size, shape, and symmetry of the nose to enhance its appearance.Nasal Bridge: The procedure can adjust the height and width of the nasal bridge to achieve the desired profile.Tip Refinement: Rhinoplasty can refine and reshape the nasal tip to make it more defined or less bulbous.Nostril Reduction: It can reduce the size or width of the nostrils to improve overall facial balance.Correction of Asymmetry: Rhinoplasty can address asymmetry issues, making the nose more symmetrical and harmonious with the face.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

It's very important to have specific goals in mind on exactly what you're trying to accomplish with cosmetic rhinoplasty. The side profile shows that you have a slight dorsal hump and a slight hanging columella, which can be improved. The front profile demonstrates a bulbous nasal tip, which can be reduced, however if you have thick skin present, the amount of reduction will be limited. Digital computer, imaging of your nose upon your facial features would also be helpful.

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 examination 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 based on very limited 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.
