Imaging Helpful for Nasal Surgery Decisions
Yes it is possible to thin/narrow your nasal bridge area without touching the tip of your nose. As this is a revision I would suggest that you consider imaging your nose to see what it might look like first to help you decide on the correct choice for you.

Thinning The Nose Bridge ONLY
Dear Sarah,
Thank you for uploading your photographs and for your inquiry as well.

Revision Rhinoplasty
Hello, without a photo it is a little more difficult to advise you. You can do a primary or revision rhinoplasty without doing any tip work. I don't know if you need tip work. You need to schedule a consultation with a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon.

Thinner bridge with changing the tip
Thank you for the question. It is possible to do surgery on the nose bridge without changing the tip. Having said that, you need to have in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. Keep in mind that revision surgery on the nose is more complex than primary rhinoplasty.
