Answer: Rhinoplasty 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. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Rhinoplasty 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, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
