Is it possible to just get my nose tip refined? (Photo)

HI @alycattttttt! I recommend seeing an expert rhinoplasty specialist for in person examination. There are several options for you that can be determined after examination. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

I would recommend an open rhinoplasty to address the cartilages and perform tip suturing to provide a more refined tip. Best of luck!

You would be a great candidate for a rhinoplasty to refine your tip. I agree that the tip appears slightly bulbous but otherwise you have a great nose to start with. Reshaping the cartilage would help the contour. Keep in mind that the rest of your nose may need subtle refinement to maintain the harmony with your tip.

The bulbous area at the tip of your nose could be addressed with a rhinoplasty, or specifically, a "tip plasty." The beauty of rhinoplasty surgery is that because every patient is different, surgery can be customized to what the patient desires. I have operated on identical twins, and their noses were not exactly the same. The aesthetic desire of each patient varies, and some patients only want their dorsal hump filed down, while others like you desire a more feminine and delicate tip! It is all dependent on the patient’s concerns and anatomy, and during my hour-long consultation with each patient, we review everything in detail. I recommend you consult in person with a board certified plastic surgeon who has decades of experience with rhinoplasty surgery.

Thank you for your question. Yes, it is possible to perform tip refinement without making changes to the rest of the nose. The question of pricing differences between a tip plasty versus rhinoplasty will depend on the surgeon and practice, but in general a tip plasty is a shorter procedure. I hope this helps, and all the best to you.

Yes, it is possible to do a rhinoplasty just changing the tip and leaving the bony portions of the nose intact--this is a form of preservation rhinoplasty. You should be evaluated by a rhinoplasty surgeon to ensure that this is an appropriate plan. Cost will vary from surgeon to surgeon, but generally a shorter and less complex case will be less expensive.

Yes, you can certainly work on just the tip, avoiding the rest of the nose. The curvature of the cartilage that makes up the tip can be straightened to make the tip look smaller. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty expert for consultation. Usually the price is a little less for a tip only procedure.

Yes. This can be dine in some cases as long as everything else looks good. But it would be easier to evaluate with a profile photo as well.
Best of luck,

Hello,
The tip of your nose can be made thinner and defined with rhinoplasty surgical procedure limited to the the tip of your nose. It is better to consult with a facial plastic surgery who can examine you and discuss how your nose shape might look after the procedure.

A tip rhinoplasty could be done in your situation. It is less involved and I charge less for something like this. I don’t know how other surgeons charge
