How are bulbous tip and upturned nose corrected?

I am wanting to have a Rhinoplasty to reduce my bulbous tip and to de-rotate my naturally upturned nose. How exactly does the surgeon fix my nose?

hello

Thanks for including your picture.

Usually, the cartilage at the tip of your nose is re-shaped to the desired width and location. I prefer to do this through an incision at the columella that extends into the nose. In rare cases, if the person had previous nasal procedures, implants may be required to obtain the desired shape. Computer modified pictures of your current nose can help with the communication process between you and your doctor.
