I had a closed rhinoplasty about 23 years ago. I am 46 now. Through time the right tip has moved with gravity I assume. Because it was very symmetrical up until about 10 years ago and I slowly noticed changes. I love the rest of it. It’s not perfect but I’m ok with that. I just would like that one area reduced if that’s even possible. It’s definitely cartilage as I can move it and it’s quite pointy from certain angles, sure to get more prominent with aging.

Answer: Tip Rhinoplasty You're right—the nose can change with time, and it’s not uncommon to notice subtle shifts years after a rhinoplasty, especially after being happy with the results for so long. Based on your photos, you have thinner skin, which can make these changes more visible. A tip rhinoplasty would help address the hanging columella (particularly noticeable when you smile) and the tip asymmetry. Given your thinner skin, there’s less room for error, so an open approach may be the best option to allow for direct visualization and precise reshaping of the cartilage.

Answer: Would you consider a permanent non-surgical nose job? Based on your photos, you appear to have very thin nasal skin which is associated with the shrink wrap phenomenon. This is when the skin retracts down onto underlying cartilages and there can be an asymmetrical and pinched nasal tip appearance. In our experience, microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections may be helpful for achieving a less operated nasal tip appearance by restoring lost nasal tip volume. Thank you for this question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
