Most of the methods I've seen involve little stitches used to gather the cartilage together. Are there any methods that do not involve any foreign bodies left in the nose?

Answer: Rhinoplasty to reduce the bulbous tip The Bulbous tip is reduced by application of dissolvable stitches to the lower lateral cartilages of the nasal tip. In our practice, we do not use permanent sutures to the nasal tip cartilages. When the cartilages are excessively wide, a Conservative cephalic trim is also performed.

Answer: Reducing tip volume The most effective way to reduce tip volume is by removing some of the cartilage in the tip. This is usually done along with suture techniques that narrow the tip of the nose. Sutures used can be of the type that absorb, so you are not left with a permanent foriegn body in your nose.
