Can nose tip be widened? (Photo)

Question

7 months ago I had a surgical rhinoplasty. I am very satisfied with my side profile, but the tip of my nose looks a bit too narrow for my face and it still bothers me a lot. What are the ways to make it a little bit wider? I was thinking about filler, but I am not familiar with how the filler migrates in that area and would rather have something more permanent. Would the operation be a better choice? Can it be done under local anaesthesia and what would have needed to be done? Thank you

If you feel that your nasal tip appearance is too narrow after rhinoplasty surgery, depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections maybe considered for achieving a slightly wider nasal tip appearance permanently. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

From your photographs, the tip appears normal but lateral to the tip you appear to have a concavity.  You may want to try fillers in this area first since that will be the least invasive.  If that does not solve the problem then a cartilage graft or repeat rhinoplasty can be done to correct the abnormality.

Best Wishes,

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question, we definitely recommend a revision operation, filling clogs the tear ducts and causes serious problems. If you can send your photos from side we can make better evaluation.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best regards!

Thank you for including before, and after pictures.
Based on those, I think you’re out, looks great, and I think you should stop where you are, and leave good enough alone.
Widening. The base of the nose is possible, but can leave visible scars.
Best,
