Wide nose rhinoplasty

A wide nose can mean a broad bridge, a wide nasal base with flared nostrils, or both. Rhinoplasty can narrow the bridge and reduce the base while keeping the nose in harmony with the rest of the face, which matters more than any single measurement.

The preview shows that balance on your own front photo. It is instructed to preserve your ethnic character and to refine, not to replace.

How it works

1Take or upload a photo

A clear, front-facing photo in even light. Some previews also accept a side profile.

2Pick the procedure and a style

Choose what to preview and, where offered, a style such as Natural or Straight.

3Compare before and after

Drag the slider on your own photo, save the result, and export a detailed report to bring to a consultation.

What changes

Bridge width, narrowed
Nasal base and nostril flare, reduced proportionally
Tip definition, so the narrower nose still has shape

Natural RefinedSharpStraight

What stays the same

The character of your nose and face
Skin texture and expression
Nose length and profile, unless you also preview those

Good to know. Narrowing that ignores the rest of the face produces a nose that looks borrowed. The preview keeps the change proportional; if the result looks like you on a good day rather than someone else, the direction is right.

Questions

Can a wide nose be narrowed without surgery?

Non-surgical options can add definition to the bridge and make it look narrower, but they cannot reduce the base or nostrils. Surgery can do both.

What is alar base reduction?

A procedure that narrows the nostrils and nasal base through small incisions at the crease of the nostrils. It is often part of wide nose rhinoplasty.

Will my nose still look like mine?

That is the goal of both the preview and good surgery: a refined version of your nose, not a different one. The app preserves ethnic character by instruction.

Front or profile photo?

Width is a front-view change, so start with a front photo; add the profile to check that the bridge height still suits you.
