Pointy Nose

I'm not sure what you mean when you say you have a "pointy nose". I see several things which should be evaluated with more pictures and/or careful examination. Your tip is a little over-projected and over-rotated; your upper lip is short; your chin is weak. A thorough consult to discuss your choices and how they impact your desire for a fast recovery is necessary.

Rhinoplasty for pointy nose

Certainly a rhinoplasty can be performed to decrease the projection of the nose and to bring the tip downward. Adjustment of the tip cartilages and septal cartilage on the bridge can be done through a closed rhinoplasty technique. This will not be an easy rhinoplasty to perform. Make sure you seek out a very experienced board certified facial plastic surgeon who has performed thousands of rhinoplasty surgeries.

Pointy nose what can be done

Answer: The photo presented is not adequate to properly assess your nasal contour, especially with regard to your tip. For proper balance, the tip must be taken into context with the other aspects of your nose. Nevertheless, an over projecting pointy tip of the nose can certainly be improved in the hands of a good experienced rhinoplasty surgeon.

Pointy nose treatment.

Your tip appears too short and the tip itself may need nothing. You may only need lengthening of your nose. In either case, you should se a very experienced surgeon so you don't end up worse.

Tip Rhinoplasty for Pointy Nose

Pointy nose is usually either due to excess and over projecting nasal septum or nasal tip cartilage. Rhinoplasty surgery could help you achieve the results you are looking for. Tip rhinoplasty refers to cosmetic nasal surgery isolated to the tip of the nose. Speak with a plastic surgeon to help determine appropriate options for you.

Correcting a pointed tip

The best way to permanently correct a pointed tip is by performing a rhinoplasty that involves the nasal tip. The procedure itself is an outpatient procedure and has a very fast recovery time. Typically, bruising occurs when work is done on the dorsum or bony part which you may or may not need. It is hard to say without viewing more photographs. I hope this information helps.

Point nose treatment

If you are unhappy with your nasal tip, then the best way to treat it would be to have a tip rhinoplasty.

Temporary Fillers can be an option. Rhinoplasty limited to the tip is a more permanent option.

Temporary Fillers can be an option. Rhinoplasty limited to the tip is a more permanent option for your pointy nose. Your case is a prime example that making a nose smaller is not always the best option to making a nose more attractive. I discovered a theory which I won an award for that explains why this is. Your nasal tip should be the approximate size of the colored part of your eye, called the iris. Fillers could fill around your nasal tip and make it looker... more

Pointy noses

Your profile not only shows a "pointy" nose, but also over rotation (too turned up) of your nasal tip. Your upper lip appears foreshortened also. The caudal (lower septum) is usually to blame for the rotation of your tip and can be trimmed. This will also slightly increase the length of the upper lip. For the "pointy" tip, you may require a cartilage graft (from either the septum or the ear) to give the tip more curvature and size. more
