I am noticing that the tip of my nose is starting to droop and my nostrils are flared and at a peculiar angle. My nose is shaped like an arrow. The bulbous tip, drooping tip and nostrils are really bothering me. I hate smiling in pictures because of it. Smiling makes the droop more noticeable. I do like my bridge and have no issues with it. Am I a candidate for a tiplasty versus a full rhinoplasty.?
Answer: Rhinoplasty Although you notice your tip (and nostrils), the fix is a rhinoplasty and septoplasty. The techniques required to reshape and reposition your tip requires the nose to be surgically exposed for multiple reasons, including cartilage harvesting from the septum. Additionally, in all likelihood your nasal airway is limited, and a proper surgery would be designed to address that too. Done by an expert, your nose will look and work much, much better.

Answer: Rhinoplasty vs. tip plasty... Based on the photos, you are a great candidate for a tip plasty. If you are happy with the bridge, you can leave it alone. The tip droop can be raised up and the shape refined. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty expert for consultation.

Answer: Rhinoplasty may be considered for elevating a broad droopy nasal tip appearance. Whether or not you would require bony work is difficult to determine based on your photos. As a general rule, most patients do require a full rhinoplasty to gain narrowing, perhaps, in the upper middle and lower thirds of the nose. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Tip plasty Thank you for your question and for sharing your photographs. In some instances, the nasal tip becomes elongated or droopy, while in others, the nostrils move up slightly over time. Sometimes, these two features combine. Since the contour of the bridge is good, both from the front and profile views, a tip plasty seems like a suitable solution.
