Is it possible to just correct the tip of my nose without touching the nasal bone? How much would that procedure cost? (Photo)

I believe you are candidate for nasal tip reshaping for the goal of refining the nasal tip with tip narrowing maneuvers, improving the cleft (or indent) of the nasal tip and projecting the nasal tip forward and upward slightly to support the nasal tip.  This will need small amounts of cartilage for grafting.In regards to the  nostrils, it is possible to bring nostrils inwards, but the width is often improved by projecting the tip and I would recommend you consult with your surgeon to discuss this once a proper physical examination is performed.  Please consult with a board certified facial plastic and/or plastic surgeon.  Good luck.

  The tip and nostrils can be improved or refined.  However, it is important to maintain nasal balance as a whole.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Improving the nostril width and refining a flaring bulbous
tip are frequent requests of patients wanting nasal refinement. It is possible
to improve the cosmetic appearance of the tip alone without altering the rest
of the nose in some patients. Whether the optimal option in your particular
situation would be a tip rhinoplasty alone or a full rhinoplasty would best be
determined at a consultation. Either procedure can be performed with a closed
or open approach.

Following the advice from a surgeon on this or
any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do based on limited
2 dimensional photos without examining you, physically feeling the tissue,
assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing
the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not be in your best
interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon with extensive nasal
surgery experience who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery
and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
(ASAPS) or a facial plastic surgeon (ENT) that you trust and are comfortable
with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.
Fees vary depending on the extent of the procedure, location
of the surgical practice, and experience as well as the reputation of the
surgeon.The
length of the procedure, cost, and the specific operative steps to achieve an
ideal cosmetic result vary from patient to patient and would depend on the
findings at your consultation examination.
