Also how much would the procedure cost? The cartilage at the very tip of my nose sticks out a little farther on the left side, making the nose look more pointed when you look at it from the right.

Answer: Do I need general anesthesia to shave a small cartledge from the tip of my nose? Small tip adjustments of the nose can be performed while you were awake under local anesthesia. However I would caution you against rushing into doing that because often the nose will need more than that. Focusing on a small portion will often miss the big picture. The nose should be assessed from multiple views and look at all structures including the cartledge, bone, and skin. More often than not, your nose will need more extensive adjustment to achieve optimal results. In that case, you should have general anesthesia for your comfort and for the surgeon to be able to do everything he needs to refine your nose.
