Advice on strong and unfeminine side profile? (Photo)

I made a couple of computer morphs of your nose, and animations of the morphs, to show the changes that are possible for your nose in truly expert hands."More feminine" usually means "smaller and less prominent" when it comes to the nose, so in the modification I narrowed your tip, lowered the bump on the bridge, elevated the tip, and then brought the entire nose back closer to your face. I paid special attention to lowering the height of the bridge up where it begins, just below your eyebrows. If that area isn't lowered, then after surgery your profile line would look like it slides from your forehead right onto your nose, without a little dip below the eyebrows, like a Roman statue. That's not a good look.
You should understand that the changes I demonstrated in the morph require advanced techniques, techniques that most plastic surgeons cannot handle.  Be sure to read the section in the "Web reference" link on how to stay out of trouble while searching for a rhinoplasty surgeon.
I'd love to hear what you think of the morphs. Did they seem to address your main concerns?
Your nose is also a good 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. When you see his goals, you'll know whether he has an eye for a beautiful nose, and whether he shares your opinion of what constitutes a beautiful nose. You'll also know whether the changes he proposes are enough to be meaningful to you, and whether he understands your wishes enough to address all of your priorities. But remember, you're not hiring him for his skills with the computer. The doctor must then show you his before and after photos to prove that he can actually accomplish what he draws on the computer.
In your case in particular, you need to find a surgeon who understands all of the issues I mentioned, and how they fit together, and who can actually accomplish them in surgery. 

To begin with, I disagree when you don't consider having a feminine profile, it is actually very feminine and this is not your issue; however it is true you can get a great improvement with both, rhinoplasty and osseous genioplasty (profileflasty is called when done in combination); I'll explain furter.
Yours is a basic rhinoplasty case, to be done via endonasal, no external scars, no grafting needed, to apply the basic set:

-dorsal shaving
-osteotomies to close the roof and narrow the bones at nasal base
-slight tip deprojecting (medial cruras trimming only)
-significant trimming of cephalic edge of lateral cruras and domes of the alar cartilages, in lay words: reducing and feminizing the tip, within proportions
Low difficulty case, 5-6 out of 10 scale, surgical time 60 min in expert hands.
Your chin needs a very specific and atypical / custom design of a three-dimensional osseous genioplasty:-it is too prominent, needing slight / moderate deprojection by means of interstitial bone reduction (never ever backwards sliding, which leads to a hanging double neck)
-too short vertically, disproportionately small from lip to edge, needs a slight vertical increase
-too sharp, "withche's" like, due to a narrow horizontal dimension in the frontal view; this can be rounded by means of a slight interpositional graft to widen the apex of the chin
This operation needs a lot of experience with ossous genioplasties, very very good aesthetic judgement, lots of discussion with the patient and a meticulous antropometric preop planning.
Do research well experience of the surgeon, the results are awesome and the procedure safe, however your design is not a routine one, need very good "eye".
Feel free to request any additinal information.

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 nasal tip deprojection and a conservative dorsal hump reduction.  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.

I agree with the others that your chin and jaw structure is aesthetically ideal.  I do believe that changes to your nose would create a better balance between your nose and existing facial structures. 

A rhinoplasty procedure can accomplish making the nose look more refined by shaving down the dorsal hump and straightening the crooked nose. Best to leave the chin alone. Rhinoplasty is a very difficult endeavor, so choose  your surgeon very wisely based on extensive experience. Digital computer imaging performed in the office setting can also give you a very close idea is to what your new nose would look like upon your facial features.

Thank you for your questions and photographs. Overall, you have a nice profile with good bone structure. Most of what you perceive as a masculine appearance stem from your nasal features.  Your nasal profile may be very similar to your fathers, and what looks handsome on him may not be congruent with your goals for a more feminine look. In general, a high nasal profile with/without a hump make for a more masculine look. Lowering this slightly in balance with the tip projection (how far you nasal tip extends out from your face) and rotation (the angle that the tip extends out from your face) can help you meet your goals. Straightening of your nose and refinement of the nasal tip will improve the brow tip aesthetic lines and can also create smoother tip contours, respectively. There are other maneuvers that can enhance a feminine look, but have more specific applications.  Digital imaging helps to precisely determine your goals and if they are realistic in relation to your specific anatomy. It also helps to get you and your surgeon on the same page prior to surgery as verbalizing one's desires is often difficult. I hope this helps. Take care. 

Well, I beg to differ. Your chin is excellent. Your jaw angle and neck are also very fine. I would just get a closed rhinoplasty to balance the face and give a more feminine look. Sometimes we are too hard on ourselves. The rhinoplasty alone will make a big difference.All the best,Talmage Raine MD

Hi,Based off your photos, you seem to have a bulbous tip and a dorsal hump. Refining the tip of your nose and reshaping the bridge would make your nose more balanced. Surgery may require defatting the tip, cartilage grafting, and/or reshaping. The dorsal hump will need to be shaved down. If you are unhappy with the side profile of the chin area as well, a  implant can benefit you. Computer imaging during your consult will give you a realistic picture of the result you can achieve. Take time to look at before and after photos of the surgeon’s work, watch videos he/she has created to educate patients, and read reviews. It is imperative to find a surgeon that does rhinoplasty procedures routinely as this will avoid revision surgery in the future. In good hands, you will get a great result. 
Best,Dr. S

Dear CaroAlert, You would be an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty surgery to help soften and feminize your profile. You have a very common nose I see in my practice daily.  You have a slight dorsal hump and bulbous tip that need addressing. I would suggest seeking consultation with some experts in the field of rhinoplasty surgery. Since you are on realself now this is a good avenue to begin. Find surgeons with many reviews and then read the reviews. If a large portion of those reviews are regarding rhinoplasty surgery then most likely the surgeon denotes a large portion of their practice to this expertise. Schedule some consultations either in person or if you decide to travel via e-mail and/or facetime. If imaging is available use this technology to see how these proposed changes would look and if those changes would meet your expectations. Review the surgeons before and after photographs to ensure natural looking rhinoplasty results. I have included in the video above a patient with a similar looking nose and in the link below many before and after examples. In my video section on my public profile you can also see digital imaging videos and how close in proximity the actual results are to the proposed results. Rhinoplasty is a very rewarding procedure for young ladies like yourself. I do not go through a week that I do not get the joy of revealing a patients new nose and seeing them cry happy tears.  Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.

The most significant change in your profile can be accomplished with rhinoplasty surgery to remove your nasal hump, straighten your nose, refine your tip, and lift your hanging columella. This would soften your appearance and feminize your profile.
