Hello, 
Thank you for your question. 
There are a few things to think about: 
How will the changes I want to my tip effect the appearance of my entire nose? Sometimes only addressing one area is a good idea; sometimes it becomes a good idea to address other areas so it looks similar. For example, if one area is made smaller, it potentially can make the other (untouched) areas or features of your nose appear bigger--so it makes sense to keep everything proportionate and address the other areas. 
Performing a subtle rhinoplasty requires restraint and experience. It also may or may not be "subtle." People may still notice. I would recommend seeing a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty. I would encourage you to look at their long term before and afters and see if their results are similar to what you are looking for.
