I have a bulbous nose that does not have structure and droops down. I have rhinoplasty surgery scheduled for January 2024, however I am having a hard time explaining what I want in my consultation. My main concerns are that I do not want an over projected tip. My tip already sticks out a lot from my face. I just want to make the tip less boxy and bulbous. I would also like to slightly lift the tip to correct the droop. What would be the specific terms I could use to explain to my surgeon? Thanks
Answer: Nice computer Imaging! In your narrative, you state that you are not looking to increase your nasal tip projection, however, your tip appears to be more projected in your desired result. When you meet with your rhinoplasty surgeons, I believe you can request a masculine straight profile appearance, and nasal narrowing on front view. Computer Imaging by your surgeon may be helpful for establishing goals. Wishing you well moving forward. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Rhinoplasty and chin implant At the time of rhinoplasty, the surgeon removes the cartilage to augment the tip to make it project more. This will refine the tip and the dorsal hump will also be removed. Also, I recommend a chin implant. This will make your nose and face look more balanced.

Answer: How would I go about correcting a bulbous tip? From the side profile photographs, you have an overly projecting nose, and an under projecting chin. The under projection of your chin makes your nose look bigger than it really is. Consider a closed rhinoplasty, along with a chin implant for better facial balance and proportions. A closed rhinoplasty can accomplish shaving down the dorsal hump, decreasing the projection of the nose, and refinement of the bulbous nasal tip with all of the incisions placed on the inside of the nose. No external incisions are required, and no painful packing is required either. Placement of a chin implant can be performed at the same time as the rhinoplasty, or separately under local anesthesia. In our practice, we place the implant through a small incision underneath the chin. Choose your rhinoplasty specialist wisely based on extensive experience, since rhinoplasty is the most difficult procedure to perform correctly in the entire field of cosmetic surgery.

Answer: Communicating with plastic surgeon First and foremost would be confirming that you met with the plastic surgeon through an in person consultation. If you haven’t done, so, then I suggest going back to the drawing board and scheduling it in person consultation. Not only do you need to make sure that the surgeon understands what you’re hoping to achieve but you need to make sure that the surgeon you’re selecting can perform at that procedure.
