Should I Do a Nose Tip Refinement? Or Do I Need to Do More for a More Attractive Nose?

              Refining the tip in a nose like yours will have it appear more delicate and streamlined in the manner you describe.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

  It's usually best in most cases to perform a full rhinoplasty rather than just a tip plasty.  Suture techniques will narrow the nasal tip cartilages  which can be  performed along with cartilage removal. Releasing of the depressor septi ligament also help prevent the tip from drooping upon  animation. When a weak chin profile is present, a chin implant is usually recommended at the same time as the rhinoplasty to improve facial balance. Please see the link below for examples of the combination rhinoplasty and chin implant in our practice. We also have a virtual  plastic surgery software on our website to see what your new nose and chin might look like.
