I Have a Bulbous Nasal Tip, and Am Interested in Changing It. What Do You Think? (photo)
I don't really like my nose, but am undecided if I want to have surgery on it or not. I'd like to know how bulbous my tip is? and what procedures would be taken to change my tip? Would the nose be changed completely are just reduced in size?

Bulbous Tip To Be Fixed
Dear Aquagirl,
Based on your photos, addressing your nasal bulbous tip will add greatly to your facial beauty.
With that perspective, narrowing the tip and modifying it is not the only thing that will have to be done; one a single aspect of a nose is changed other nasal aspects are to be adjusted to fit the major change hence securing a natural look at the end.
The details of your surgery will be decided upon physical examination to be as minimally invasive and aggressive as possible...

Addressing a bulbous nasal tip
A bulbous nasal tip is best addressed through narrowing and refinement of the tip cartilages. Removing a small amount of cartilage along with intradermal tip suturing techniques will narrow and refine a bulbous nasal tip. Osteotomies of the nasal bones may need to be performed to narrow the wide bridge so that it matches the new narrower tip. This is all done through closed rhinoplasty techniques under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure.

Rhinoplasty to Achieve Desired Results
Of course, having a rhinoplasty procedure is a purely elective surgery, for which you can be the only one who decides whether to have it done. However, I can see how you would benefit from a rhinoplasty to refine the tip, and achieve whatever else you wish for aesthetically.

Hi Aquagirl! Who doesn't love a beautiful nasal tip? A nose with strong underlying structural support with relatively thin skin will usually give the best surgical results. Please talk to a several qualified Facial Cosmetic Surgeons who will explain your anatomy to you. And best of luck to you.

Rhinoplasty to Correct Nose Tip
Depending on your surgeon you can do as little or as much as you like to change your nose. It is a good idea to bring in some pictures to your consultation of noses that are similar to yours now and especially how you'd like it to look after rhinoplasty. The appearance of your nose after surgery depends on how thick the skin is on the tip of your nose and the choices you make with your doctor during your consultation.

Rhinoplasty Imaging
The best way to help you decide whether rhinoplasty is for you is to see some visual changes that may be surgically accomplished. This can be done through computer imaging. Study these before and afters and decide if the effort of rhinoplasty is worth it. The pictures you have attached, however, are not adequate to determine what your exact nasal proportions and shape are.

I Have a Bulbous Nasal Tip, and Am Interested in Changing It. What Do You Think?
The two living action photos show poorly the tip but it does appear as you need at the very least a tip rhinoplasty. Best to obtain IN PERSON examinations with boarded rhinoplasty doctors in your area.

Bulbous Nasal Ttip
You do have a bulbous nasal tip which is out of proportion with the rest of your nose and other facial features. The tip cartilages can be reduced and the contours changed to give you a more refined tip.

Bulbous tip
You are a beautiful girl. If you are not sure about nasal surgery, don't do it! You can not rely on others' opinions, you must trust your own aesthetic sensibility. While subtle refinements can safely and naturally be done, you must be 100% certain that you want to make a change in the first place. And, no matter how little the risk might be, statistics pertain to groups of 100. For any single individual, there is always a 50% chance of risk: 50%...

How Much Will A Rhinoplasty Help My Bulbous Tip
The goal of a great rhinoplasty is to change the shape of your nose so that it fits with the rest of the features on your face.One of the criteria I sometimes use when trying to decide how much of a difference a rhinoplasty will make is to see where my eyes are naturally drawn when looking at your photo. In your particular case, you have very pretty eyes, well shaped eyebrows, nice lips, and nice youthful cheeks. The tip of your nose however, is so round that it actually takes away from your...

I Have a Bulbous Nasal Tip, and Am Interested in Changing It. What Do You Think?
The photo does show a wide nasal tip that could be refined with a Rhinoplasty. Be sure the Rhinoplasty Surgeon, you select, understands and follows the proper aesthetics of facial (and nasal beauty) for the creation of a naturally, more attractive nose and face.

Bulbous tip
Your tip is way out of proportion to the rest of your nose. Rhinoplasty can definitely reshape and reduce it. How much change you would like is something you should decide with your surgeon in a consult with computer imaging. Good luck!

Changing bulbous nasal tip
If the roundedness of your nasal tip bothers you rhinoplasty could certainly be used to refine the overall shape of your tip. When done properly I wouldn't expect your nose to be completely different.
My link below outlines what goes into improving a round tip. In general it often involves reposition the tip cartilages so that they are less full and rounded. I find that minimzing tissue removal allows for natural changes while maintaining proper nasal function.

Seek opinions from several rhinoplasty surgeons
Make appointments for consultations with multiple surgeons. Look at lots of before and after photos. Have a list of what specifically bothers you about your nose. Board certification by The American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, The American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, The American Board of Otolaryngology or The American Board of Plastic Surgery is preferred. Warmest regards.

Don't know whether to have rhinoplasty
You can ask so many people how they feel about your nose, yes the tip is rather round but you are quite attractive. Surgeons or others can tell you that you can indeed make changes for the better, but the decision is yours and yours alone. We like to use computer imaging to demonstrate the ideas and possibility from rhinoplasty which can allow you to 'try out' changes to your tip and see for yourself how things can work out.

You do indeed have a very bulbous tip
I definitely think it would improve your overall appearance . The entire nose must be minimally adjusted to the new tip. I know this is not a snap decision and I hope you select the right doctor to make your expectations materialize
