Oily nasal tip and eligibility for rhinoplasty?

jayne1988Jun 20, 2023
Hi. I’m looking to address nasal tip length, specifically to shorten it. However, I have read that having an oily nasal tip doesn’t lend itself very well to refinement. I don’t know whether the skin is thick or thin, but it tends to have a lot of blackheads and pores. I’m a 34 year old female. Would this therefore exclude my eligibility for a rhinoplasty to address the nasal tip?

When somebody has a bifid nasal tip, there tends to be a deep cleft in between the tip cartilages that is vertical. This tends to be more prevalent in those with very thin nasal tip skin and firm nasal tip cartilage. I hope this is helpful.

Hello! Thank you for your question. As far as I can see from your photos your nose is over projected and wide. Jaw surgery would not change your nose size. So you need the both surgery. It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best Regards!
