Would a tip plast help me achiev e a more narrow and lifted appearance? (photos)

Hi, It is better for you to consult with your facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and give you opinion based on examination. Yes, it would.

Yes, a rhinoplasty can rotate your nose superiorly to improve tip aesthetics. However, there is always a need to match the dorsum to the tip, and there may be the need for septal cartilage strut, so it would not be simple tip-plasty.

Based on your photos, you appear to have a wide nasal appearance on front view, and a long nasal appearance on profile which is associated with a hanging columella. Rhinoplasty surgery techniques may be considered for achieving a smaller, narrower, less distracting, and more feminine nasal appearance. Consider meeting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialist so you could see what to expect after surgery. Thank you for your question, and I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. Maneuvers for your surgery would include dorsal hump reduction, tip refinement, nasal tip deprojection, tip elevation, among other maneuvers. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

You can achieve a great look with rhinoplasty. I see that your nose is wide, so if you are considering a tipplasty why not consider a full rhinoplasty. Good luck.

A tip rhinoplasty combined with conservative reduction of the dorsal hump above it should give you a much improved look.

Tip plasty can refine and lift the nasal tip by reshaping cartilage and adjusting support structures, creating a narrower and more lifted appearance. It’s less invasive than full rhinoplasty and ideal for localized improvements. Consult a surgeon to assess your anatomy and goals.
