Possible upper lateral cartilage reduction? Thoughts? (photos)

February 1, 2019
Asked By:haydenj37 in New York, NY

Hello, I’m interested in getting my nasal tip rotated, ideally to form a 106 degree nasolabial angel. I’ve also noticed that my upper lateral cartilage may be somewhat large, and I think reducing that would be necessary to rotate my nose up. Can nose tips be rotated upwards by removing this excess upper lateral cartilage? If it is, is the remaining upper lateral cartilage then sutured to the nasal bone, essentially pulling or “lifting” up the tip by doing so? Hope that made some sense
