How to defat small Asian nasal tip subtly without implants? (photo)

January 15, 2018
Asked By:trangnguyenntat in Arlington, VA

Most Asian rhinoplasty involves some sorts of implants to heighten the bridge of the nose. I like the side profile and don't need the bridge to be high. My concern is that its alar base flares up badly, especially when I smile. I also don't like the nasal tip. The nasal tip is just a little bit thick skin and bulbous. The problem isn't the shape of cartilage (according to my touch), it's more of fat thick skin. I just need very subtle decrease in size of the tip.
