I’m Middle Eastern and I come from a family of oversized noses. While everyone else seems content with their nose, I am not.  My nose is large all around, large tip, large nostrils, and wide from the bridge to the base. I would like a total resculpting of my nose. If actual nose tissue is removed to reduce the size of my nose, where is that incision? Would I be able to work the next day? I don’t care if there is a bandage on my nose.

I have a very pronounced hook to my nose which I believe is fairly normal among those of Persian descent. Nevertheless, I do not like it and would like to improve. How much improvement can I expect?

My nasal tip looks very crooked. I don’t know if other people notice it but it really bothers me. Is this something that can be fixed with a nose job and how would it be done?

What’s the best way to correct a wide nasal bridge? Does this usually require the nasal bone to be broken?

I’m an African American living in Southern California and am interested in getting a nose job. I don’t want a “cookie cutter” nose that would be given to someone who’s Caucasian. How do you avoid this?
