I have a very wide nasal bone and tip would this be a hard job to narrow?
Answer: Better African American nose? Yes you can have a reined tip, narrower natural nostrils etc. I need to see more and better photos to give you a definite answer to what you need in detail. My website and others shows what photos are needed. See a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon whose work looks natural and not overdone.

Answer: Rhinoplasty 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 decreasing the width of your alar base. 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. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: A nose like Naomi Campbell? Rather than trying to look like someone else, it is important understand what can and cannot be accomplished with your nose in order to be in harmony with your other facial features. Every nose is different and unique to that individual. If the appearance of your nose concerns you enough to do something about it, it can be improved with a natural artistically performed rhinoplasty. What would be the best option and exact procedure would depend on an in person examination (not just an online consultation) and discussion about desired outcome. Excellent results can be achieved with either a closed or open technique. Keep in mind that following advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do and how technically to do it based on two dimensional photos without examining you, physically feeling your 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. Natural appearing results need to be individualized and what is appropriate for one patient is not necessarily the best for someone else. I would suggest that you find a surgeon with extensive rhinoplasty experience certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, M.D., FACS La Jolla, California

Answer: Recommend consulting with a board certified surgeon You are a candidate to discuss the process and expectations of a tip reshaping procedure to narrow your tip. I recommend consulting with a board certified facial plastic/plastic surgeon to discuss your options.

Answer: It is hard to duplicate someone else’s nose but if your nose is wide, consider surgical rhinoplasty. Dear Butilove in Ukiah: Naomi Campbell has an attractive nose for her face but it would not necessarily work well on yours. If the bones are too wide and the tip is too plump, then consider rhinoplasty. Consultations will be important for you. Be sure to have computer imaging to see the predicted results. When checking out the various physicians who you are considering, look for a high degree of specialization, long experience, and a huge photo gallery demonstrating a variety of outcomes. Whatever homework you do up front will pay off. Best wishes, Robert Kotler, MD, FACS Over 4,500 nasal procedures performed
