Correcting Wide, Bulbous and Upturned Nose?

I was hoping I could get information on the surgery required to fix it, and a possible price range. Thank you so much.

Rhinoplasty should easily correct your nose

From you picture, it looks as though the cartilages in the tip of you nose need some reshaping and possibly reduction. Your skin looks to be thin which is important for a good result. I agree that the volume of the nasal tip does not fit the rest of your face. I cannot comment on the profile since there is no picture, but I would bet that there is some fullness above the tip on profile view that would be also addressed by corrective rhinoplasty.
