I was wanting to know if there is any way to reduce the size of the tip of my nose without surgery. The tip of my nose has no cartilage. I realize this is might not be normal. The problem I see here is that there is excess skin at the tip of my nose, which looks like sagging. If there is no non surgical solution, could someone give me an estimate of how much surgery might cost? Thanks a lot.

Answer: Your options
Hi
There is no way your tip "has no cartilage" unless a previous plastic surgeon did a nosejob on you and removed too much tip cartilage. Your tip cartilages may just be too weak and/or your skin too thick making it hard for you to feel any cartilage in your tip. Non surgically a little bit of Restylane can in some cases be injected into the tip to give it a better shape but a surgical nosejob is the true answer and cost depends on your nose and your surgeon and your location. It can be $3k-$30K! Average would be about $8K.

Answer: The bulbous tip
the bullous nasal tip can come from thick cartilages or from thick tip skin. Without a picture or physical exam it is difficult to tell what is creating a bulbous tip. Rhinoplasty involves sculpting tip cartilages not reducing the thickness of the skin
