Is a Nasel Tip Rhinoplasty Less Risky Than a Full Rhinoplasty (photo)?

selinagrey86
Hello, I've had a consultation with a surgeon who said that as the bone structure of my nose is fine and the tip needs slight refinement he would recommend a tip correction opposed to breaking the bone. I desperately want to get this done, but I have a terror of ending up with a 'Michael Jackson' nose. I know all surgeries are risky but is having a tip rhinoplasty less risky than a full rhinoplasty? I want subtle refinement, not a totally different nose...
