Will Fixing Bulbous Tip Make the Nose Look Thinner?

Hi,The work done during surgery to narrow the tip of the nose won't change the appearance of the upper part of the nose -- that part can also be narrowed, as a different part of the operation.Careful, though, because narrowing a nasal tip is an advanced technique, and you should see before and after photos, before selecting your doctor, of other patients who specifically had their nasal tips narrowed. A profile view won't show that to you; it's the angled views, like the one you posted, that show the width of the tip.

It’s not unusual for patients who undergo rhinoplasty surgery to have multiple aesthetic goals. Under these circumstances, they often want their nasal bridge narrowed and their nasal tip refined. These maneuvers are often performed together when patients undergo rhinoplasty surgery.
                It’s important to realize that an aesthetically attractive nose has harmony, balance, and proportion. Isolated tip rhinoplasty can definitely narrow the nasal tip area. Unfortunately this might adversely impact the balance and proportion of the nasal structures. When this situation arises more extensive procedures may be necessary to maintain balance and harmony.

                For these reasons, patients considering rhinoplasty surgery should consult a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this area. This surgeon should be able to formulate a treatment plan that addresses anatomic findings and achieves aesthetic goals. 

In short, yes. Reducing the bulbous tip (wide, lacking in definition) will make the nose look thinner and more refined. In some cases, however, the bridge needs to be narrowed as well. This helps to keep the upper and lower parts of the nose in harmony. Preoperative imaging can be very helpful in considering different aesthetic goals during your consultations.
