I love the shape of my nose but at the end of it there is a little ball, its almost like cartilage. I can move it around very easily. I am wondering if this can be reduced without having to go under? I want a cute little nose that doesn't have as much cartilage down at the end and comes to more of a point instead of a round ball. How much would something like that cost? I will try to get a picture up later today.

Answer: Tip plasty versus full rhinoplasty Without a full set of nasal and facial pictures, it very difficult to give any opinion. When the tip of the nose is bulbous, there are several techniques that can allow reduction of the bulbous tip. These include suture techniques and a conservative cartilage removal. The remainder of the nose must be in excellent balance so that the new tip now balances with the original bridgeline. Most patients must undergo a full rhinoplasty to ensure the entire nose balances with itself. A tip plasty and a full rhinoplasty are performed under general anesthesia for patient safety and comfort. There are too many nerve endings in the tip of the nose to undergo a tip plasty under local anesthesia. Patient's simply cannot tolerate it.

Answer: Nasal tip surgery Hello. A rhinoplasty can help refine your tip without changing the rest of your nose. Generally, these procedures are performed under general anesthesia since the nose is very sensitive. However, some surgeons are comfortable doing a rhinoplasty under local with perhaps some mild sedation. You just have to research several surgeons to find one. However, in my opinion, the most important issue is to select a surgeon who you trust and believe will achieve a great outcome--not if he/she will do this under local anesthesia. General anesthesia does add cost, but in the end, is not a prohibitive factor. When you visit several surgeons, you will be able to learn the costs of rhinoplasty in your area. Take care.

Answer: Tip Rhinoplasty What you are requesting would require a rhinoplasty procedure to refine the tip of the nose. Most of the time this is done with general anesthesia, but in some rare circumstances patients can have rhinoplasty work done with local anesthesia. You should visit with a rhinoplasty surgeon to have an evaluation and discuss your options. Best regards.
