Would a slightly smaller nose or thinner nostrils look better on my face?

Dear 13almw,

Thank you for your clinical post and
photograph. Although difficult to tell
from a single photograph and view you appear to have excellent craniofacial
features and skeletal proportions and pretty eyes, nice jawline and lips. Although it’s easy to be critical and overly
obsessive over facial proportion and ideal nasofacial balance, the nose itself
might be a little wide up on the top of the bridge called the rhinion and the
tip itself may be slightly bulbous or boxy.
With a slight refinement and narrowing of the width of the broad portion
of the upper part of the nose and refinement of the nasal tip and nostril
balancing your nasofacial features and proportions may be optimized. In essence like many plastic surgery patients
you look good and are looking to look a little “better.” While in certain circumstances this degree of
detail can be helpful. You don’t want to
fall into the trap of taking the desire for perfection to unhealthy and
obsessive levels.

A good consultation with an
experienced rhinoplasty surgeon using computer imaging can help you delineate
whether subtle improvements of your nasal contour provide the type of
nasofacial balance and proportion you’re looking for.

I’ve been performing rhinoplasty for
over 20 years and having trained in both ENT and plastic surgery. I like to ensure we improve form as well as
function.

I’m sure you’re going to get an
excellent result and make the right decision for your facial contours and
shape.
