Can I have a rhinoplasty without changing entire shape of the nose? (Photo)

Asked By:a_g in California, CA

My nose is bulbous at the tip and my nostrils are a bit wide which is noticed when I smile. However, the overall shape of my nose is not terrible. It's straight on the dorsum but the cartilage at the end is what droops. Is there any way to fix or soften the cartilage at the tip and narrow my nostrils without altaring the entire nose?
