How risky is rhinoplasty for a bifid tip?

January 3, 2020
Asked By:cdmkellie in Laguna Beach, CA

I have a bifid nose and I am not so pleased. After reading medical journals I am nervous about: (a) the possibility that a surgery might not produce much of a difference, (b) could result in a droopy tip, which is definitely not what I want, (c) any cartilage trimming could prompt the body to continue resorbing additional cartilage, and (d) permanent sutures and the risk of a resulting infection. Am I being paranoid about the risks and could I achieve a noticeable improvement? Many thanks!
