The tip of my nose is hollow, I don't think I have enough cartilage to remove, will this be a problem during surgery? (Photos)

Asked By:sball01diva in Buffalo, NY

Tip rhinoplasty is 1/2/18. When I squeeze my nose tip it's like a pop bottle you can feel it pop back out, it's balbous but not fat is this going to be a issue during surgery? I know a full rhinoplasty would be ideal but I just want a subtle change in my tip so it's not so boxy looking. I'm getting nervous and just want to make sure I'm making right decision. Last pic is with "nose secret" little plastic stents pushing the tip together. (Annoying fell out but I did like results) Thankyou for your help!
