Good Candidate for Tip Rhinoplasty?

Hi, I am 26 years old and have always disliked the tip of my nose. I feel like it is too bulbous and takes away from the rest of my face. I am wondering (based on my pictures) if I would be a good candidate for tip rhinoplasty. I am not interested in a completely new nose-just a smaller tip. Also, what is the cost in California for this (im not rich)?! Thanks.

Tip Rhinoplasty will work great

Based on your photos, a tip rhinoplasty will likely work well for you. However, your internal airway must also be evaluated. I would also suggest placement of a strut to your tip in order to allow adequate support and projection. see video

Rhinoplasty surgery

Dear luvmyself2012, Yes, you can refine the tip alone and not touch the rest The cost depends on what part of California you are in and how much of a change you would like On realself, you can find out average prices for rhinoplasty in your area Best regards, Nima Shemirani

Tip Rhinoplasty

You are an excellent candidate for a limited rhinoplasty procedure to refine your nasal tip. Discuss your goals with an experienced surgeon.

Good Candidate for Tip Rhinoplasty?

Aesthetically speaking, from the photos provided the nasal tip does appear a bit wide. A Closed Tip-Plasty, without a full Rhinoplasty could thin and refine the nasal tip. Benefits are shorter surgery and recovery time versus complete Rhinoplasty. Hope this helps.
