Rhinoplasty for Bulbous Tip

Andres Bustillo, MD answers: Exact Rhinoplasty procedure for bulbous tip?

Is there an exact Rhinoplasty procedure for round nose tip or a bulbous one? Thanks a lot again.

The rhinoplasty procedure for the bulbous tip involves the reshaping of the tip cartilages. This is done by placing sutures within the cartilages to change the curvature of the cartilages. This in turn changes a bulbous tip to a more defined one. 

Stay well,

Andres
