Is it possible to achieve these results? What procedures would I need to make my nose slimmer and pointed? (Photos)

Question

Hello, I have a round, wide, bulbous nose tip with no definition. I'm desiring a more defined, slim nose.I  don't want to compare myself to other people because I want to still look like myself but I did include one photograph of Cindy Kimberly as an example. I want to be realistic and have realistic expectations which is why I don't really have an exact photograph of what I want. I just know I want something slimmer, more defined on the tip and less round. Is it realistic to get this done?

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your
photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can
accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your
lower nose. You may also benefit from a cephalic rotation of your tip to turn
up your tip slightly.   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. The most important aspect is to find a
surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a
qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Rhinoplasty is complicated and demands exceptional skill on behalf of the surgeon and great communication with the patient about realistic goals and expectations.In your case, your goals are realistic. You could benefit from tip defining procedures using either cartilage grafting or suturing techniques that would harmonize your nose and create a more natural, elegant look. Make sure to seek out the care of a board certified plastic 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.

Hello,
I think your expectation are reasonable and achievable.You need tip refinement and rotation of the tip nominally.
However do check digital correction first to see if you like such changes.
I wish you all the best.
