Hey all! Throughout my life, I've been not insecure about my bulbous nose tip. I don't really have a desire to change anything about my nose other than the tip/don't want to do any bone reshaping. Is this possible and is there a pricing difference?

Answer: Solutions For A Bulbous 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.

Answer: Tip plasty 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. -Dr. P
