I have a bulbous tip nose that I would like to have done. What type of rhinoplasty is best for bulbous nose? What is the cost?

Great question. You will get a variety of answers for the "best" type of rhinoplasty for a bulbous tip, depending on the preferences of the surgeon. There are many other factors, as well, that make you a better or worse candidate for different techniques. Some photographs or an in person examination would be helpful. My personal preference for most cases is an open precision rhinoplasty, because it gives the best visualization and is a very reliable, consistent technique that can be adapted to any nose. Cost will depend a lot on the experience and training of the surgeon, and where geographically the surgery is done. Find a surgeon who has results you like and go in for a consultation!

Thank you for posting your question. Closed rhinoplasty procedures are typically excellent for patients with concerns about scarring and require minimal reshaping and resizing. However, the incision for open rhinoplasty rarely leaves visible scarring if it is performed correctly. More importantly, it is essential to work with an experienced board-certified facial plastic surgeon that can assess your nose and facial features to create a custom procedure plan that results in cohesive features and a natural-looking nose. Your expert physician can recommend an open or closed rhinoplasty based on the types of changes needed.
