Is it possible to get a smaller nose as a Middle Eastern woman?

Great question!  Without different views of the nose, no great recommendation can be provided.  However, with the limited view you have provided, it can be possible to shrink the nose down to provide you with a more refined appearance.  The nasal tip is bulbous and large and can be thinned and recontoured, if you have a bump on the bridge this can be treated as well and the bridge narrowed.  Check out the website of a few surgeons you are interested in and see if they perform ethnic noses - that was you can see how small they can get.  Also it is best to have several consultations with board certified plastic surgeons and go with the one you feel most comfortable.Best of luck and hope this information helps!

Rhinoplasty requires exceptional skill on behalf of the surgeon and great communication with the patient about realistic goals and expectations.
Common cosmetic concerns include a dorsal hump, wide nose, sunken nose, irregularities, and asymmetries. Functional concerns include difficulty breathing through the nose, which can and should be addressed at the same time as your rhinoplasty.In your situation, additional photos would be needed to give you proper guidance. 
Make sure to seek out the care of a board certified surgeon with extensive experience in rhinoplasty. Find someone you connect with, who will listen to your concerns and provide you with a framework for what is possible.

Making several features and areas of the nose smaller is typically possible. From the photos you posted, the skin doesn't really look so thick. Your tip cartilages are strong and wide, and can be modified to narrow the tip. The bump can be lowered. Other areas can be addressed at the same time.
The photos that you posted only show the tip of the nose. Photos of the entire nose would help with the analysis and help with determining what areas are likely to be changed successfully.
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 I described above require advanced techniques, requiring skill that most plastic surgeons don't possess with expertise. For most noses, 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. 
Your nose is also a perfect example of why computer imaging is mandatory in rhinoplasty. You need to know exactly what the surgeon is planning to accomplish -- what features he thinks he can change, and by how much he thinks he can change them. I always email morphs to my online rhinoplasty consultations. When you see the surgeon's goals in the morphs, you'll know whether he has an eye for an attractive nose, and whether he shares your opinion of what constitutes an attractive nose. You'll also know whether the changes he proposes are large enough to be meaningful to you, and whether he understands your wishes enough to address all of your priorities. How would you ever get that figured out without the morphs?

Hello,Thank you for your question. Consultation in person by the Board Certified plastic surgeon would provide the best options in your case. After certain treatments for your skin you may achieve a slimmer and better appearance. The Closed and Atraumatic Approach minimizes swelling and bruises, maximizes healing process and prevents tissue damage.  Best Regards 

Thank you for your question and photos. Without examining you in person it is impossible to give you a precise answer or surgical plan. That said, an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon (who might be a board certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon) can review a precise surgical plan with you to hopefully make you feel confident about your decision as to how to move forward. The nose is the visual  "bull's eye" or focal point of the face and restoring proper nasal proportions can impact on the entire facial appearance. An ideal rhinoplasty would leave you looking "like you", yet refining your natural features to enhance the overall appearance both of your nose and therefore of your face. While rhinoplasty is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures performed world wide, it is also one of the procedures wherein revision surgery is most often requested due to patient dissatisfaction. Do your research, and consider more than one consultation to feel confident about your decision. It is important to feel that you and your surgeon are communicating effectively, and that you are confident that your surgeon can achieve the results you are hoping for. Best of luck to you. 

I see and hear your concern.  In experienced hands, a rhinoplasty could certainly accomplish your primary goal of a slimmer and more refined nasal appearance.  The best recommendations come from an in-person exam with a standardized set of photographs.  It may be in your interest to schedule a consult with a Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon to discuss options in greater detail.  Best of luck!

Rhinoplasty surgery can certainly reshape your nose and put it in better proportion to surrounding facial features.  Generally, it is more challenging to create refined features with higher definition in someone that has thicker skin and changes that are made will be more gradual over time than in people that have thinner skin.  All of the problems that you are describing are routine for a Plastic Surgeon that does a lot of rhinoplasties.  

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty which can be performed by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. You may also benefit from a septoplasty and spreader grafts to help straighten your nose.  Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer animation system.  You should be able to view numerous pictures of actual patients with noses similar to yours performed by your surgeon.  If you cannot find enough real before and after pictures, then consider continuing your search for a surgeon.

Best wishes and good luck.

In person exam is essential as well as a standard set of photos ( all views). Based on a limited photo-your nose - in the right hands- can be improved utilizing a closed technique ( no scar across columella). Once you're examined - all the details of the procedure will be discussed with you. I surge that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS for in person consultation 

Hi and thanks for your question. Based on your photos you have a wide nose. Bony base of you nose can be narrowed with osteotomy. Your skin is thick in tip of your nose. Tip cartilage can be decreased in size, your tip skin also can be decreased in thickness with surgery. But you have to know this,  it’s to hard , to get a small nose for thick skin patient.
