Question:
I’m a 21 year old girl with a big problem. My nose is huge for my size! I’m only 5’ 6”, but my huge nose looks very manly and weird on a relatively medium-sized woman. I’ve been thinking about getting a nose job, but I’m not exactly sure how to describe what I want. Can a nose job make a nose simply look more feminine and smaller?
Answer
I perform rhinoplasty surgery for a variety of reasons. Not all of my patients seek rhinoplasty for the same reason and certainly not all of my patients present with similar noses. In short, an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon will have the proverbial full bag of tricks. The object of rhinoplasty is not to create the same perfect nose over and over on every patient who seeks rhinoplasty, but, rather, to create a great nose for each individual who is seeking to have a nose which will fit their face. If you are small and your nose is big then the object of the rhinoplasty I perform on you will be to make the nose smaller and more feminine, where both changes will allow your nose to compliment your face.
