I feel my nasal tip is disproportionately large/shapeless, especially in comparison with my small mouth. I'd like to obtain a more angular, structured shape at the tip of my nose - in harmony with the rest of my features. I have a relatively high nasal bridge but I really like the shape of it, and don't want to change it at all. Is it possible to correct the tip without touching the bones? If I reduce the size of my nasal tip, will the side angle of the nose become uneven? Thank you so much!

Answer: Bulbous Tip You are very beautiful as you are. The combination of dark hair and blue eyes is dramatic. I am sure you get plenty of compliment on your eyes. An interesting sequelae of rhinoplasty is that it often makes your eyes look more dramatic and noticeable because the (slight) bulbosity of your tip draws the viewers eye away from your eyes. To your question, the answer depends on the type of tip contour you are seeking. A subtle reduction would be fruitful, but you could take it down a little more and not look fake at all. An interesting observation you might make as you study noses you like, is the concept of the supra tip dip. A pretty tip has highlights and low lights, like facets on a diamond. A bulbous tip lacks these facets. If your dorsum was taken down just a little, a nice supra tip break would highlight the tip. Just an example of a (rather extreme) supra tip dip would be Meghan Markle's nose. I use her nose not as a recommendation for how your nose should look, but rather to educate your eye.After you evaluate your desires, it would be best if you sought a rhinoplasty surgeon who employs digital imaging so that you could evaluate your options. Please pick a skilled surgeon, it would be a shame to mess up such a pretty nose!

Answer: Tip rhinoplasty Hi Thanks for posting photos. I agree that your profile looks pretty good and that you would be a good candidate for a tip rhinoplasty. This would involved thinning the tissues under the skin, removing some of the tip cartilage and refining the shape with sutures, I would also recommend a small cartilage graft on the tip which would give more definition (this would come from inside the nose). In addition you could have 2 mm taken off the dorsal bridge if you wanted but this would be discussed with you in a consultation. Regards Damien
