Nose tip options and is this a hanging columella?

June 12, 2021
Asked By:dan_123 in England, United Kingdom

I am wanting to confirm the main issue with my nose tip. If this is hanging columella, droopy or bulbous tip. From the top view of the nose you can see nostril/tip deviation. Can the tip or columella be shaved off? I would like to improve my nose tip only. Should I focus on tip elevation, deviation or bulbous issue? I would prefer a simple closed technique if possible.

Rhinoplasty one week after canthoplasty?
Stephen J. Pincus, MD says:

Yes, there shouldn't be a problem doing the two procedures one week apart. Since the swelling from the rhinoplasty would probably affect the eyelid surgery more than the other way around, I would do the canthoplasty first. But you should speak both surgeons to get their advice on the timing....
