Hi there,
What an amazing question you ask! I'm always surprised how much patients know these days. Internet access, and excellent sites such as Realself, allow detailed research.
Your question is a complex one, even if you think it may not be. It relates to the skin thickness, the size, shape and most importantly orientation of the lower lateral cartilages, and the relationship of the tip to the bridge in your case.
Only an examination of your nose will allow a precise answer to the question for your particular nose. But as a general comment, the area just above the alar groove is very important in nasal aesthetics. However the bulky tip is handled, if that area remains full, the nose doesn't look good from the front or three quarter view.
Options for handling the LLC include trimming (less and less done by me these days as it has a number of negative consequences), intracartilaginous resection, shortening, softening or reorienting it. In the bulky tip I often release and rotate it down if it has a more vertical orientation - which I think is what your question is referring to. Handling a bulky tip can involve skin thinning, although rarely.
To summarise, planning how to manage the LLC goes to the heart of a good natural result in a rhinoplasty for a bulky tip. Every case needs a plan, made through analysis in the office and not made in the operating room on the day. A number of techniques are used, and attention needs to be paid to function, plus the production of a finer tip which harmoniously blends with the upper part of your nose.
