A wide bridge or a bulbous tip? I understand both can be done, but I am wondering which is easier to improve upon. Thank you so much!
Answer: Fixing a wide bridge or bulbous tip
Both a wide bridge and bulbous tip can be treated using modern rhinoplasty techniques. Tip work is generally more complex than narrowing a wide bridge. Tip bulbosity can be caused by several factors including cartilage size and orientation and skin thickness. Many methods are available to address the cartilage aspect. Skin thickness is harder to address, though in some people the skin can be thinned somewhat to help with improving the appearance.
A wide bridge can be improved by performing controlled bone fractures to narrow the nasal bones. Of course, you can certainly treat both a wide bridge and bulbous tip at the same time during rhinoplasty.

Technically a wide bridge is easier to narrow than the bulbous tip. Narrowing a wide bridge or a bulbous tip are both routine procedures to perform during the rhinoplasty procedure.

Answer: Wide Bridge or Bulbous Tip
Both of these concerns are commonly and frequently addressed during a rhinoplasty. Maybe another way of asking your question is to say, what are possible complications in each of these areas after surgery.
Wide Bridge
inverted V deformity from high lateral osteotomy
lumps and irregularity on the bridge
removing too much or too little of the bridge
Bulbous Tip
Pinched appearance
Bossae formation (migration of the tip cartilages to the side)
twisting of the tip cartilages
Rhinoplasty is a very difficult surgery. However, in the right hands, complication rates are rare and you can get very nice results that would correct the problems you report.

Answer: Wide Bridge Versus Bulbous Tip and Rhinoplasty Surgery
My opinion is that correcting a wide bridge is generally easier than reshaping a bulbous nasal tip. The former involves a more predictable surgical technique in a good majority of cases. There are certainly going to be exceptions to every rule, but in general narrowing a wide bridge is more readily done than defining a bulbous nasal tip.

Answer: Rhinoplasty
The margin of error in tip rhinoplasty is a millimeter or 2 while for the bridge being a millimeter off does not show so much. Also thick nasal skin can decrease the visibility of tip surgery more than bridge surgery. Therefore tip surgery is more difficult than bridge surgery although both require sufficient surgical skill.
My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.
