Is Adding Grafts to Nose Tip Safe?

User Avatar
Sam85
Would it be safe to add tip grafts (ear/rib) to increase the length and sharpness of the nose tip, without making it bulky because I have thick skin? I recently had alarplasty and alar rim grafts and would be happy if some tip grafts could be added. I do not want to modify any other part of the nose. Please help. I have attached a photo of my previous nose. Sorry about the antibiotic cream on my alar base.
