Can I have my nose tip fixed without changing my bridge?

April 26, 2014

I have no problems with the bridge of my nose. I don't feel like it's too wide and I have a decent profile, and there's no bump. I do have a bulbous tip and nostrils that are wide. Is there a surgery that only addresses the tip/cartilage/nostrils without changing the bridge? How much does this kind of operation usually cost? Is it more worth it to get a regular rhinoplasty, are there better results? Thanks.
