Can Nose Job Correct Bulbous Tip Deformity and Look Natural?

 It does look from your photograph that you could benefit from a tip rhinoplasty. I would personally perform your surgery "open" so as to better visualize the anatomy and control the final result and its stability with sutures.

The bulbous tip deformity can be certainly addressed through a closed rhinoplasty technique whereby the portion of the cartilaginous tip, which is creating the bulbousness, is removed, and then a narrowing and refinement of the tip is performed through dome suturing techniques. This will give a very natural looking rhinoplasty appearance without the operative look.

From your picture, it appears that you are a great candidate for a rhinoplasty. Although a bit blurred, it appears that your lower later cartilages are asymmetric or crocked and need to be realigned. In the hands of an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon, your results should be very natural and have your friends and family only wondering whether you lost weight or are more restfull than usual...at least this is what I typical hear patients say.

You appear to be a good candidate for surgery and if well done, a rhinoplasty should not look like a "nose job". See an experienced plastic surgeon and look at their before/ after photos. Good luck!

From the photograph a limited but valuable amount of information can be elicited. Your skin is thin, your lower nasal cartilages are very prominent and most probably the side walls of your nose collapse when you take a deep breath from your nose. First a complete examination of the inside and outside of your nose needs to be performed. Correction of your nasal tip needs to be combined with cartilage grafting to straighten and strengthen the side walls of your nose and avoid the pinching... more

A nose job can and SHOULD be the ultimate customized operation in Plastic Surgery. A s to "I do admit to having a larger nose, but I don't mind that. Can surgery be done to fix this issue with the tip ...?" - YES. You have very convex and wide prominent lower lateral cartilages (right bigger and more forward than Left) which are separated giving the nose a BIFID appearance. A tip rhinoplasty where these cartilages were narrowed and brought together will eliminate the bifid "butt&q more
