Asked By:katrinawang in Chicago, IL

Hi, I am an Asian female and I have bulbous and soft nose tip. A famous plastic surgeon that I have consulted with said that I have a lot of fat in my nose tip, and thus I will need extensive defatting of the tip to make it smaller and sharper. Is defatting the only and the best way to make my nose tip sharper? What are the disadvantages? Do Asian people who have weak nasal cartilage and thick skin have fat pads in the nose tip? Thanks!
