IMO, the facial frame (jaws, cheekbones) is far more important than the nose, which should be the last thing to fix. And I think you're right, fleshy noses... there is only so much that can be done, especially with males.
I can't really judge rhinoplasties... a lot of the before and afters give me a "why did they even bother" feeling. But the names I've heard bandied about are Guyuron, Frankel, Cochoran.
