Is it possible to only have the tip of my nose reshaped?

Question

Female 5’9” 200 lbs trying to lose 50 lbs

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

Some people have pleasing nasal bridge appearances and may also have a wide bulbous tip appearance. When we do surgery on somebody's nasal tip only, we refer to it as a nasal tip plasty surgery. I hope this is helpful. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Andrew Miller, MD · Answer

Of course it is possible to work only on the tip as many people have a bridge that is already straight. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty specialist for consultation.

Robert Ciardullo, MD · Answer

Can a tip plasty be done without a full rhinoplasty?
Yes, theoretically a tip plasty can be performed independently of the rest of the nose. In my experience, however I have found that it is a very rare case where the tip can be done without requiring corresponding changes in other aspects of the nose to make the whole nose harmonize.
