Dose my nose fit my face or would a small nose look better on me? (Photo)

No one ever
"needs" a rhinoplasty. It is an elective procedure and only you can
determine if your nasal features concern you enough to do something about
improving the cosmetic appearance of your nose and whether it would be
worthwhile.

Following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes
to tell you exactly what to do based on limited 2 dimensional photos without
examiningyou, physically feeling the
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. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon with extensive nasal
surgery experience who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery
and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
(ASAPS) or a facial plastic surgeon (ENT) that you trust and are comfortable
with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.

Additional information
about the procedure will help you decide if it is a procedure that you want to
pursue.

The photograph demonstrates a wide nose. Only the patient can answer the question  if a new nose would look better , than perform a rhinoplasty to narrow the wide nose.  Computer imaging performed in the office setting at the time of the consultation and examination would help give an idea of what the new nose would look like. For many examples of narrowing a wide nose, please see link and the video below

Whether or not your nose fits your face is really something that you will have to determine.  No one else can make that decision for you.

That determination is completely up to you.  If you like your nose, then it is perfect.  If you would like a smaller nose, yes, you are a candidate for a rhinoplasty.  The bridge could be thinned and brought in; the tip can be reduced.  It may be a good idea for you to have a consultation with a Facial Plastic or plastic surgeon who performs a lot of rhinoplasty and discuss it with them.
