What are my Options to Address the Bump and Droopy Tip of my Nose? (photo)

Options to address bump and droopy nasal tip

Hump removal is performed through a closed rhinoplasty or endonasal technique. The droopy tip cartilages can be lifted upwards very conservatively. Release of the depressor septi muscle can help prevent the tip from drooping down upon smiling. Patients who have thick oily, olive complexion skin usually require a series of cortisone shots in the supratip area of the nose in the first few months after the rhinoplasty procedure.

Establishing Goals for Rhinoplasty Surgery

Your profile can be improved and made straight without changing your tip but you should consider subtly reducing the width of your tip to improve tip proportion and definition. Although it is difficult to evaluate with these pictures talk to your prospective surgeons about a chin implant.

A rhinoplasty could certainly help with improving the dorsal hump and the tip. As for the forntal view the nose may look similar but is could look a bit narrower with osteotomies. Best to go for a consult to be evaluated. Good luck.

Dramatic change after rhinoplasty

After nasal hump removal, narrowing of the nasal pyramid and some tip works, your nose will look different and for the better. A chin implant will help with your profile and you will have a more harmonious nasal structure.
