I have a very narrow bridge and middle and a round bulbous tip. I notice that my nose looks much better in cold weather or at times, if I take an antihistamine. Would a kenalog injection provide safe, long-lasting shrinkage to a bulbous tip? Can you recommend any other non-surgical medications or ideas?
Answer: Refining a bulbous nasal tip appearance may require rhinoplasty surgery. There are no compressive nasal devices that would lead to a permanent reduction in the appearance of your bulbous nasal tip. Nonsurgical rhinoplastic procedures have resulted in tip widening in our experience. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

Answer: Shrinking or refining a bulbous tip Kenalog injections are not usually used to reduce a bulbous tip, but to reduce swelling (edema) after rhinoplasty surgery. A bulbous tip cannot generally be reduced without surgery, but a broad or bulbous tip can be camouflaged by adding to other parts of the nose. In many cases, a large tip can be minimized in appearance by adding volume to the bridge of the nose and nasal sidewalls. Be sure to see an expert in rhinoplasty surgery and non-surgical nose jobs in order to review both options in detail. All the best,

Answer: How can I shrink or refine a bulbous nose without surgery? A surgical rhinoplasty is required to shrink the bulbous nasal tip cartilages. Suture techniques and conservative cartilage removal are required to do this. Cortisone injections are only placed in the postoperative period after a rhinoplasty procedure when there is excess edema present in the tip with thick skin. For many examples of closed rhinoplasty reduction of the bulbous nasal tip, please see the link and the video below

Answer: Bulbous tip Hi there! Non-surgical techniques using dermal filler can be used to improve contour / shape and tilt the tip of the nose. However, bulbous tips often require surgical correction. Please consult an experienced practitioner so they can give you more of an idea after physical examination. Hope this helps and good luck! Dr Rupert

Answer: Non surgical rhinoplasty and nasal tip
A nonsurgical rhinoplasty uses fillers to improve symmetry, camouflage irregularities or to increase height of the dorsum or tip. In some cases, in can be used to make a nose look smaller or longer. If your nose is of a good height from a side profile, then a nonsurgical rhinoplasty may not give an improvement. However, fillers can be used on the tip to give it the illusion of a narrowed tip but this has to match the rest of the nose. In general, you would be better served and happier with a formal open rhinoplasty. Find a plastic surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasties in your area and consult with them to find out what can be done.
