I want to lengthen my nose and slim a bulbous tip - how can this be done? (Photo)

However, from this photo I don't believe your nose needs additional projection, the tip is better lacking definition and a tad square, but it is not a bulbous one.

Find help from a surgeon that's at the same type technically brilliant and honest advising you.

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question if you can send your photos from side and front profile 95 angles we can make ture evaluation.
Best Regards!

It's on your single photo, it's not clear whether or not nasal lengthening is advisable. Since your tips seems to stick out too far, and your concerned that it is too wide, I suspect you would benefit from nasal tip the projection, rotation, and narrowing. I hope this is helpful, and thank you so much for your question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Due to the angle and quality of the photo, the nose shape is not clearly visible, making it difficult to provide an accurate assessment. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
From your perspective, it appears that the main concerns are a short nose and a broad, rounded (bulbous) nasal tip. In such cases, one possible approach is to use autologous rib cartilage to lengthen the nose and rotate the overly upturned tip downward. This can help create a more balanced and refined nasal contour.
The most reliable material for nose lengthening is your own rib cartilage (autologous rib). The procedure involves harvesting rib cartilage from your body and using it to build structural support for the nose. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes about 2 to 3 hours.
Postoperative care includes removal of the external nasal splint and stitches on day 7, while internal sutures placed inside the nose are usually removed around day 14.

Answer from Dr. Sean Hill, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon at Lone Star Plastic Surgery in Frisco, TX:
Thank you for your question and for sharing your profile photo — it really helps in evaluating your nasal proportions.
Yes, it is absolutely possible to lengthen a short nose with rhinoplasty, especially when the concern is a nose that appears “over-rotated” or upturned. This often happens naturally or as a result of prior surgery or trauma, and it can create the appearance of a shortened or scooped profile.
Lengthening the nose typically involves: • Cartilage grafting, often from the septum, ear, or rib, to extend the nasal tip and restore structure • Supportive tip work to project and reposition the tip downward in a balanced, elegant way • Carefully refining the bulbous tip, which is often due to wide or prominent lower lateral cartilages and/or thick skin
From your photo, it looks like a combination of tip refinement and lengthening would create a more harmonious profile and address both of your concerns. These changes can be subtle but powerful in bringing more balance and definition to your facial features.
This type of rhinoplasty requires advanced skill, especially when rebuilding and reshaping the nasal tip, so it’s important to work with a board-certified plastic surgeon who is also a member of The Rhinoplasty Society — someone who has specialized experience in both primary and revision nasal surgery.
At Lone Star Plastic Surgery, I take a custom, anatomy-driven approach to rhinoplasty, with a strong emphasis on both aesthetics and long-term structural support.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Fascial grafts may also be used to help improve tip refinement. Regarding the rotation of your tip, additional pictures would be helpful. Cost varies based on geographic region and surgeon expertise. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

Your photograph is very limited. Your nose may not need to be lengthened, you may need to change the nasal columella angle. It appears to be at 90 degrees and should be at 110 degrees. The tip can be refined if bulbous. The cost of rhinoplasty is $8,000 and takes 2 hours to perform under general anesthesia.

Best Wishes,

Only one side view not level post photo is not very helpful to see the appearance of your nose, either repost front of view in good side views with a same color background or do a virtual consultation usually fees for rhinoplasty range from $8000-$15,000 best of virtual con
