Having given you a brief, I will guide you through this blog as to why & how you can change the shape of your nose. 

Understanding the Reason to Change Your Nose Shape

Your nose plays a crucial role in your overall facial appearance and aesthetics. It defines your personality as well. There are two main reasons for altering the shape of your nose. 

1. Aesthetic Reasons

People who have a bent or crooked nose, a high rise bump on the bridge of their nose, or an upward nasal tip can change their nose shape. However, nose asymmetry can cause injury as well. A well-structured nose can enhance your face and add confidence to your appearance. For more detailed insights, read about the Best Techniques in Rhinoplasty.

2. Functional & Structural Reasons

Many people have breathing difficulties, and this is attributed to deviated septum. These nasal deformities or birth defects can cause a lot of breathing issues and nose blockage as well. A nose-shaped surgery can remove all your breathing and other functional issues. Find out Steps in Cosmetic Rhinoplasty.

Cosmologist Surgeon’s Advice: As an experienced cosmetic surgeon, I would rather suggest you to go for nose job surgery for aligned structural appearance. 

What are the Types of Nose Shape Change Surgeries: Surgical Options & Non-Surgical Options

Surgical Options:

Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)

You can also refer to Rhinoplasty as a nose job surgical process. One of the most common, yet effective, and fixed surgical methods to change your nose shape. As a cosmologist, I would recommend my patients go for rhinoplasty. The surgery requires to be performed with accuracy, deep understanding, and experience with facial structural balance.

What are the Expectations from Rhinoplasty (Nose Job) Surgery?

• Rhinoplasty surgery can be a great tool for reducing your nose size. You can increase the size also if you want to. 
• If your nose has been crooked or bent since birth, it can be corrected with precision. 
• If you need to reshape your nose areas, like nostrils, for better alignment, a nose job will be a perfect surgery for you. 
• The surgery will smoothly adjust the shape of your nasal tip over time.
• If you have a functional issue like a deviated septum, it can be corrected. 

Types of Rhinoplasty:

• Reduction Rhinoplasty Method

In this method, the shape of your overall nose is reduced. Your specific nose areas, like the bridge or tip, are reduced with precision.

• Augmentation Rhinoplasty Method

In this Rhinoplasty method, your small nose size or flattened nose volume is increased using the cartilage grafts technique. And it usually starts from the ear or rib area. 

• Post-Traumatic Rhinoplasty Method

This method is primarily used to correct the nose’s functional and overall appearance. It repairs your damaged nose caused due to injuries. 

• Revision Rhinoplasty Method

In this, any previous Rhinoplasty surgery issues, along with breathing difficulties, are fixed. It aligns your nose shape perfectly to make way for air passage and make your breath smoother. 

What are the Risks Involved in Rhinoplasty Surgery?

Here are the risks involved in Rhinoplasty surgery: 

• Your nose may face a certain level of bruise marks and swelling. 
• You can also face temporary breathing difficulties. 
• In certain grave cases, re-surgery can be done to achieve the desired results. 

Surgeon’s Advice: I would suggest you to go for Rhinoplasty Surgery as this is the only go-to method for permanent changes in your nose shape, be it for cosmetic or any medical reasons.

Non-Surgical Options:

Not everyone is comfortable going for surgeries. In this case, non-surgical procedures are available to them. 

Dermal Fillers or Liquid Rhinoplasty Method

In this non-surgical method, dermal fillers like hyaluronic acid are injected to smoothen your nose bumps, straighten your nose bridge, and correct your low nasal or flat tip. 

Note: While the process is quick, less invasive, and has no downtime. This is temporary, and results will last between 6 to 18 months. 

Makeup Contouring Method

Makeup can smoothly hide and create a different appearance. You can use a contouring makeup product and highlight two shaded darker ones to the nose area for a slimming effect. 

Note: This method is only applicable for specific occasions and is not a permanent solution.

Nose Shaping Tools Methods

These Nose shaping tools claim to reshape your nose gradually by applying pressure to the nose area. These claims aren’t verified, and the results may be negligible. 

Note: Using nose-shaping tools may not be a permanent solution. It is temporary and has a negligible effect on your nose shape. 

Can You Change Nose Shape Using Natural Methods?

I come across many patients asking me if nose exercise and massage can alter nose shape. My answer was No because it cannot change the shape of your nose. However, here are a few popular claims:

• Nose Massages & Exercises: It’s simple; these massages and exercises cannot alter or shape your nose. These nose massages are only helpful for toning your facial muscles. 

• Nose Breathing Exercises: There are certain nose breathing exercises like Pranayama, which can be a perfect option for muscle relaxation. (It is also called yoga breathing.)

• Pressure Nose Shaping: Pressure on your nose can provide instant and temporary relief from swelling, but it will not shape your nose. 

Do These Methods Work?

Exercise massages and other breathing techniques will not alter or shape your nose but may improve skin tone and lighting. Natural methods may not be the right option to shape or alter your nose.

How Does Nose Age?

As our entire body is part of the aging process, so does the nose. As we age, nose skin and cartridges can loosen and alter nose appearances. Common nose aging changes are:

• You may have a drooping nasal tip
• Your bridges can appear wider due to skin becoming loose due to aging. 
• A higher visible hump on the nose can appear over time due to aging

In these cases also, many people consider having a surgical or non-surgical nose surgery. I always recommend having nose surgery from an experienced and renowned surgeon. 

What are the Factors to Consider Before Changing Your Nose Shape? 

1. Expecting What is Realistic: You must understand that there is no perfection in nose shape and size. It all depends on the overall face structure and appearance. The main idea is to achieve a balanced and aligning nose shape with your face appearance.
2. Understanding the Risks and Recovery Involved: As you already know, surgical procedures come with risks, and it does require a certain recovery time period. While non-surgical methods may need regular touchups and addressing.
3. The Overall Cost: Your budget can also be a great factor. For example, Rhinoplasty surgery can become expensive, while non-surgical options are cheaper as compared to surgical ones.

Is there Any more attractive Nose Shape?

To be honest, as a surgeon, there is no universal standard for perfect or attractive nose shape. But there are different types of nose shapes in an individual. Here are those:

1. Straight Nose: Your nose bridge will generally be straight and proportionate. 
2. Button Nose: The button type of nose is generally smaller in size and directed upwards. 
3. Roman Nose: This type of nose features masculine, strong, and has a prominent bridge. 
4. Greek Nose: Your nose will have no hump and will be straight and well-defined. 

As you can see, there is no ideal nose shape. These nose shapes and sizes enhance your overall beauty and make you feel confident.

Conclusion

Are you one of those looking to shape your nose through surgical or non-surgical options? While both options have their advantages and limitations. Surgical options include nose jobs, also known as Rhinoplasty and non-surgical options are makeup contouring or dermal filler options. As a cosmologist surgeon, I would suggest you always consult experienced and qualified professionals.
