Nose cartilage. Is a rhinoplasty that only moves the cartilage slightly upwards possible?

Changing the appearance of the nose would entail a rhinoplasty. If tip elevation is all that is desired, this is a fairly minimal amount of work that is required. However, a straight nasal septum is of paramount importance to achieving and maintaining a straight nose, as you alluded to, so a septoplasty may be concomitantly warranted.

Prices vary considerably depending on your location, the surgeon, and the facility in which the surgery takes place. Expect a minimum of several thousand dollars and go up from there.

One of the methods used in selective Rhinoplasty is preservation methods and it can give the satisfactory nasal profile. It is better for you to consult with a facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and discuss the surgical procedure and the post op recovery process.

Elevation of the nasal tip: it is theoretically possible to elevate the tip of the nose without working on the bridge. However it would be a very rare case where this would lead to the optimum outcome. Usually, elevation of the tip is accompanied by some reduction of the dorsum and some refinement of the nasal tip along with its elevation or “rotation” upward. The cost would be less than a full rhinoplasty, but will vary greatly from one surgeon to another, and in some cases from one region of the country to another.
