Is it possible to reduce the size of a bulbous nasal tip without surgery? (Photo)

Question

I am a redhead and I’ve heard how bad anesthetics can be for people with red hair... so I’m nervous to do a full rhinoplasty but I’m so sick of my big nose ): sorry for such a horrendous picture my face is super red

That said, adding filler to your nose would not make your nose any smaller. Additionally, rhinoplasty surgery can lead to worsening nasal redness. If you have severe dissatisfaction with your nasal appearance, please consider re-asking your question with additional views of your nose and face. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Thank you for your question and for sharing your photo. It is hard to tell from the one view of your photo alone whether a nonsurgical rhinoplasty is an option for you. Often by softening the contours around an area that seems overly represented, can deemphasize and soften the appearance of that area. For example, if your tip is very bulbous in appearance, by focusing the nonsurgical efforts around the tip may help to soften and deemphasize the appearance of the tip.  This is one of the more challenging and high-risk injectable procedures. I would visit with a board-certified plastic surgeon who is experienced with non-surgical nose jobs to give you a thoughtful discussion on your options.

Hi Shay, I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to go over your desired results. Facial fillers like Voluma, Restylane, and Juvederm along with Botox can be used to improve the symmetry of the nose and lift the tip; however, it won't make the nose appear smaller. Surgery would be needed to improve the nostrils or overall shape. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
