Bulbous Tip And Deprojection Of Tip? How Much Can Be Done?
Realistically how much can be done with the tip when it comes to deprojection and slimming the bulbous tip? From what I understand deprojecting the tip makes the nose wider? What can be done to satisfy both of these issues? Does a nasal hump effect the outcome? I've heard some doctors say that with an open nose job they are able to shape the nasal tip better rather than with a closed technique. What is your opinion on that? You can check my photos by checking my last question I submitted.

Refining and deprojecting nasal tip
The same results can be obtained through either closed or open rhinoplasty techniques. The only difference is an incision across the columella with an open technique. All other techniques on the nasal tip cartilages, grafting, hump removal, osteotomies, and any cartilage grafting can be done through either closed or open technique. It is a surgeon and patient preference as to whether closed or open technique is done. The tip can be narrowed and refined 30-40%. ...

Bulbous Tip And Deprojection Of Tip? How Much Can Be Done?
Aesthetically speaking the nose has a dorsal hump, is wide at the mid nasal segment as well as the nasal tip that is over-projected and under rotated. An Open Rhinoplasty would be able to address all of these issues and create a naturally, more attractive nose IMHO. Hope this helps.

How much can be done
I get a sense from your questions that you are "over thinking it". It reminds me of the common disclaimer "professionals at work, do not try at home". There is a tremendous amount that can be done to deproject, shape and balance your nose. These steps are all interrelated and take years for surgeons to easily visualize them. I suggest that you focus more on the outcome you are looking for and let your surgeon worry about the steps you need to get there.

Tip rhinoplasty for a bulbous and droopy tip
Tip rhinoplasty can address tip bulbosity and droopiness. However, you must realize that rhinoplasty is a complex procedure. Changing one part will affect the overall shape of a nose relative to other parts. I would recommend an open rhinoplasty to reduce your overall nasal size which includes nasal tip, dorsal hump and projection. You need to have a consultation with an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon to evaluate your nose as a whole. Good luck. Dr. Kevin Sadati.

Rhinoplasty
While I prefer to perform the majority of my rhinoplasties open, there are those that can achieve nice results closed. Either way is OK in ther right hands.

Nice structural support and thin skin allows us to make significant changes to your nose. The tip, dorsum and mid-nose should all be addressed.

Decreasing Nasal Tip Projection and Bulbous Shape
Refining your bulbous tip will help the problem with over projection. It would be easier to answer your question after an examination of your nose. The hump should be reduced so a straight profile can be achieved. That combined with narrowing the nasal pyramid will give you a natural result that is proportional to your facial features.
