Not sure what to do with my slightly bulbous nose. I have provided photos even when smiling when it looks more wide. It appears the nostrils might not be symmetrical as well. I think my bridge is ok though. Do you think i just need a tip plasty?
Answer: Tip plasty for bulbous tip As my colleagues have stated, a tip plasty will provide refinement of your nose. Many times, after examining the nose properly and chatting with the patient, we do recommend going ahead with a reduction rhinoplasty and altering the other components of the nose in order to achieve a better balance. This, of course, will be based on the individual wishes and outcome desires of each patient.

Answer: Would tip plasty be sufficient to narrow my bulbous nose and balance my features? Improving and refining a bulbous tip are frequent requests of patients wanting nasal refinement. It is possible to improve the cosmetic appearance of the tip alone without altering the rest of the nose in some patients. Whether the optimal option in your particular situation would be a tip rhinoplasty alone or a full rhinoplasty would best be determined at a consultation. Either procedure can be performed with a closed or open approach. The goal should be a balanced natural appearing nose. Following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do based on limited 2 dimensional photos without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon with extensive nasal surgery experience who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS)) or the Canadian Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (CSAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla,California

Answer: Would tip plasty be sufficient to narrow my bulbous nose and balance my features? A rhinoplasty to refine the tip and improve the bridge would probably be better to keep the nose in balance.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Full rhinoplasty not a tip plasty When a large dorsal hump is present, a full rhinoplasty is required, not a tip plasty, otherwise the nose will be significantly out of balance. The bulbous tip is addressed with suture techniques applied to the lower lateral cartilages of the tip to narrow it. The dorsal hump must be shaved down to match the new tip, and osteotomies of the nasal bones are required to narrow the bridge line. For many examples and more information, please see the video and the link below

Answer: Rhinplasty I think a balanced rhinoplasty including probably taking down the dorsal hump would be an appropriate thing to do if you are interested in a rhinoplasty.
