I like the width and shape of my nose but I have a bulbous tip. What can I do to fix this? Is there anyway I can avoid surgery? I'm looking for pinched look. Also what can I expect in costs?
Answer: Rhinoplasty surgery may be considered for improving the appearance of a bulbous nasal tip. Unfortunately, adding injectable fillers into the tip of somebody's nose may lead to a wider nasal tip appearance. In our experience, the most reliable way of achieving a desired narrowing of somebody's nasal tip, is with rhinoplasty surgery. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Bulbous tip Thanks for your question. For refining the tip of the nose either a closed or open (my preferred method to get maximum control of symmetry) tip rhinoplasty can be performed. This procedure refines the bulbous area of the nose with minimal scarring. An open technique allows better visualization and control of the paired cartilages which act in conjunction to define your tip shape and symmetry. The ability to see both cartilages simultaneously and work on them together allows the surgeon ultimate control over both the shape and symmetry and, of course, beauty of the nose. Fees for rhinoplasty including the fee for the surgeon, surgical facility, anesthesia, and post operative care will depend on the city and surgeon. With that said it's best to set up a few consultations with different surgeons and make an informed decision based on their experience and speciality in the field. View their before and after photos to see what the outcome could potentially be.

Answer: Non Surgical Nosejob Candidate-- with Fillers (voluma, restylane, juvederm), Botox/Xeomin/Dysport I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to go over your desired results. Facial fillers (voluma, restylane, juvederm) along with Botox can be used to improve the symmetry of the nose and lift the tip. However, it won't make the nose appear smaller. Surgery would be needed to improve nostrils or overall shape. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Rhinoplasty Dear baileysmith,it is hard to tell without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Regarding the cost of surgery, it depends on a lot of factors (type of surgery, surgeon, anesthesia, facility fee, city, etc.). Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Answer: Fixing Bulbous Nose with Non-surgical Nose Job Hi and thank you for your question! It is hard to tell without seeing you and just based on a picture from one angle, but in general, non-surgical nose job is best for issues related with nose bridge and for correction of bumps and humps on the nose. For bulbous tip, sometimes we can make some minor correction by careful injection of filler in the bridge area to generate some lift and pull the tip up, but the final impact might be limited. It would be best to do a consultation and in-person exam with a physician highly experienced in non-surgical nose job to evaluate all the options. I hope it helps and good luck!
