Bulb nose: am I candidate for a non-surgical rhinoplasty? (photos)

Hello, and thank you for your question. While fillers may help refine the nasal tip, they will provide limited benefit. The skin at the nasal tip is generally taut, thick, or has wide cartilages and therefore, not easy to shape. Furthermore, fillers technically add volume and may make the bulbous tip worse. A rhinoplasty will do a better job at reducing the bulbous tip with cartilage removal and suture techniques. To get all the information you need, I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon, particularly one with a strong rhinoplasty portfolio. Your surgeon can properly assess your nose, discuss your concerns and goals, recommend the best approach, and help you achieve the best possible outcome.

Nonsurgical rhinoplasty can be used to reshape the nose by adding volume to the nose. With regards to the tip of the nose, some degree of refinement is possible to reduce the appearance of bulbosity or width of the tip of the nose, but this is limited by the thickness and extensibility of the tip skin. Often the tip skin will only allow for a certain amount of projection and refinement with fillers. Strategic placement will often allow for rotation of the tip of the nose, but counter-rotation, or lengthening the nose, is often not possible to any significant degree with nonsurgical rhinoplasty. If you want the best idea of what is possible for your nose, do your due diligence, find an experienced surgeon, and have him/her evaluate you in person and discuss your options. #drdonyoo
