Rhinoplasty Narrow Nose
Rhinoplasty to fix a wide and drooping nose
Rhinoplasty can achieve very natural results by narrowing a wide nasal tip as well as supporting your nasal tip to achieve natural aesthetic changes.
First of all, when the tip of the nose appears to be too wide, it can be narrowed to provide a natural appearance by performing a variety of maneuvers on the nasal tip such as a cephalic trim, or lateral crural flap.
These are procedures that help to narrow the tip while also rotating your nose upward so that it doesnt droop. These are very common maneuvers performed by Facial Plastic Surgeons who perform rhinoplasty as part of their daily Practice.
This is commonly performed via an “open” approach, although it can be performed by some Facial Plastic Surgeons via a “closed” approach.
I prefer the “open” approach as it allows for better visualization of these structures and therefore makes it easier to manipulate to achieve optimal results.
The “drooping” can also be corrected easily by using a columnellar strut. This simply means that we borrow a peice of your own cartilaginous septum (the partition between the right and left side of your nose (on the inside)), and place it in a position to support your nasal tip.
This works very well and allows your nasal tip to be supported for pretty much the rest of your life. You should expect a great outcome. (Jon E. Mendelsohn, MD, Cincinnati Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Narrowing your nose is very possible.
The rhinoplasty Narrow Nose
A rhinoplasty can definitely narrow your nose without making it artificial. For starters, you have quite a nice nose to start with. This is akin to starting with a nice canvas when painting a picture. Small refinements will drastically refine your nose, and can be made very naturally.
The thing to do is definitely see a surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty. Number two, the reason that your nose spreads and droops when you smile is because of the septal depressor muscles.
These muscles are usually cut during a rhinoplasty keeping your nose perky even you smile. I would refine the tip a tad, give your slightly sharper tip defining points, and balance the middl;e vault to the tip definition. Also, I would cut your septal depressor muscles. I think you are a GREAT candidate! (Raghu Athre, MD, Houston Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Aesthetic results on front view after nose surgery

Ideally the results after Rhinoplasty will change the appearance of your nose appropriately not only on profile , but also on front view. Rhinoplasty is one of the more difficult procedure to perform, make sure you choose a surgeon that is experienced and talented in this field. On a more technical level, the front view of the nose can be altered by a number of technical maneuvers, based on individual nasal anatomy.
In addition to narrowing the nasal bones and tip cartilages (some of the more basic maneuvers), it is possible to further narrow the base of the nose with more advance maneuvers such which involve some well placed incisions, as well as some spanning sutures at the base of the nose. Ask your surgeon about his experience with these techniques. (Boris M. Ackerman, MD, Newport Beach Plastic Surgeon)
Revision rhinoplasty may be planned one year after your initial nose surgery

So based on the pictures, it looks like you had a rhinoplasty but not sure how long ago. If it has been over a year, then a possible revision may be planned. If it is less than a year, then you really need to give it time to heal and let the swelling to go down. A narrower, more refined nose is possible but HOW much narrower depends on a surgeon examining you and cannot be based only on pictures. How thick your skin is, how much cartilage is left, are some questions that need an examination to be determined.
Finally, your nose is your nose. I cannot stress this enough. Not even two sisters share all nasal anatomy, so wanting a nose of an actress is fine, but being able to achieve it is a whole other story that depends on your anatomy. The question is does your skin and cartilage structure allow a nose like Monica Bellucci to be created? Whether it should be created to resemble hers is yet another story.
