I have a large upturned nose, I used to be bullied and called, "Pig." I would cry... I've learned to like my nose b/c I'm a proud Russian and people have told me it's very "Russian" looking. I've realized that if my nose was just a bit smaller, it would match my features perfectly. My nose also protrudes, alot. Is it possible to keep my nose but still make it smaller? Or would they have to give me an entirely different nose? Also, may you choose a nose or do they pick whats best for you?

Answer: Can I keep my nose shape
The ideal rhinoplasty creates a nose that blends into the face, draws attention to the eyes and itself is not noticed. I would suggest that just making a smaller version of what you currently have would still leave you upset at the way it draws attention away from the rest of your face. A consult with computer imaging will help you to visualize how different changes will affect your overall facial look and better communicate with your surgeon.

Answer: Same nose, just smaller My feeling would be no, your nose could not be just a smaller version of what your have now, and from the question you submitted I am not certain that you really like your nose all that well. We would suggest computer imaging to try changes, which might be expected, to see if the look is for you. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd
