Nasal tip refinement
It is very rare that one needs only a nasal tip procedure performed. In the far majority of cases the entire nose must be addressed at the time of rhinoplasty. It is important to make sure all components of the nose is in balance with each other as well as other facial features. There are several different techniques to lift, refine and feminize the nasal tip. Results should be in balance with the remainder of the nose, otherwise the patient would look unnatural.

Rhinoplasty Surgery
Hello,
It is possible to improve the appearance of the nasal tip with a rhinoplasty. I use computer imaging software in my office that allows me to morph a photo of the patient to predict the outcome of a surgical procedure. This serves as a goal and a guideline for me to follow in the operating room. I would recommend seeking a consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty. Sometimes, additional procedures may be necessary to...

From the photo, there's seems to be a small bump in the cartilage section of the nasal dorsum with an under-rotated nasal tip. This can be addressed through a closed Rhinoplasty.

Correction of the drooping tip
From the photos, it does appear that your tip has fallen some or has what we refer to as tip ptosis. Given your state of health, you certainly can have a limited tip-plasty to address the lower third of your nose or you can undergo a more complete rhinoplasty to correct or improve the entire nose depending upon your preferences.

Rhinoplasty for the drooping tip.
Rhinoplasty for the droopy tip is one part of rhinoplasty. There Are several other parts that
may be indicated as well but I would need to see other photos. I only use your tissue--no foreign material.

Tip refinement rhinoplasty
I think there is an improvement to be obtained on your tip. I would consider rotating it up slightly and a subtle refinement. Tip refinement surgery is a delicate task that requires much finesse but it can be quite rewarding.

Tip rhinoplasty
Cosmetic rhinoplasty is like going to a restaurant. You do not have to eat everything on the menu and you do not have to get every area of the nose operated on. If you only want the tip done do the tip. If you want the tip and the bridge done do both it is a personal choice up to you. Some individuals have large dorsal humps in which case it does not make sense to only do the tip but even in these cases I have had patients that only want the tip work. One patient kept coming back to work on...

Tip rhinoplasty
The short answer is yes, I believe this procedure would be beneficial to you. Your Facial Plastic Surgeon and you should look at your nose as a whole. To get the desired results you are looking for may not only require rotating and resupporting your tip but also changing the projection of your dorsum to match it. You appear to have what I call a plunging tip(which is accentuated when you smile) due to your tip cartilages overidding your dorsal support allowing it to fall. They are...

Tip Rhinoplasty? Heck yeah!
I see a nose that would do great with a tip rhinoplasty. My preference would be to do this with an endonasal approach. That means your incisions would be on the inside and you'd heal a little faster vs. an open approach. However, there's nothing wrong with an open either. It'll take a little longer to heal.
I do note a little bit thicker skin than average so you'll need to be a little patient with the result. You don't want your...
