Bulbous Tip Rhinoplasty? (photo)
I'm thinking having Rhinoplasty surgery to refine the tip of my nose, which has a bulbous and asymmetric tip. I'm 32 years old, and I don't want a thin tip, but a more symmetric tip and a bit less larger. Can I look to a rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty for a bulbous tip
Yes. Rhinoplasty for this would be appropriate. I would suggest an open approach to really fine-tune the tip. You seem to have a bit of thickness to the nasal skin, therefore it is safe to say you cannot have a very “thin” nose. I feel you would get a very nice result via this technique.

Bulbous tip rhinoplasty
A tip rhinoplasty can be performed to reduce asymmetries of the nasal tip and give more refinement. This can all be done through endonasal techniques.

Bulbous Tip and Rhinoplasty
The bulbous tip can be refined nicely in about 10 minutes through a closed rhinoplasty (no visible scar) with cephalic trims (remove a little of the cartilage at the tip) with or without sutures to shape them depending upon individual specifications. The tip does not have to be narrow, and I would not recommend that.

Rhinoplasty can make a big difference.
Hi.
Your concern is quite reasonable. A good rhinoplasty will refine your tip (but not too much) and correct asymmetry.

Bulbous tip surgery
There are a few options here. From stating your concerns I would recommend a simple reduction of the lower lateral cartilages. some times less is more, especially when dealing with the tip of the nose. It looks as if you have relatively thin skin which will help the result.

Rhinoplasty to improve a bulbous tip
Hi jonnyl7,
Yes, in the right hands you should be able to create a less bulbous nasal tip with rhinoplasty surgery. The change doesn't have to be excessive so make sure you like the results your potential surgeon has achieved in other patients.
The key is not to resect very much tissue, but rather to reorient your existing tip cartilages into a more symmetric, refined position.
You can learn more about bulbous tip rhinoplasty at my web reference link below.

Rhinoplasty
Dear Jonnyl7,
A tip rhinoplasty could certainly be done to address your bulbous tip, tip asymmetry, and central nasal tip depression. Of course, a formal consultation and examination is necessary to make this decision for sure. Please make sure you see a board certified plastic surgeon.
Best,

Nasal tip
A tip rhinoplasty may be suitable for you, but an exam of the entire nose is essential to properly evaluate you.

You have a nice nose, but the tip of your nose can be addressed to be more defined, less bulbous, and more symmetric. In addition, the small depression in the center can be filled in to give a smoother appearance. Please consult with a board certified specialist who can assist you in achieving the results you seek. Computer morphing will be helpful for you to communicate your desires with your surgeon.

Tip rhinoplasty to refine and symmetrize the nasal tip
Tip rhinoplasty can certainly address your concerns. The small notch you see along the middle of your tip (bifidity) could also be effaced. Computer imaging could assist in communicating your aesthetic goals clearly to your surgeon.
