Can one simply cut cartilage in tip of nose? What would the cost be?

February 28, 2016
Asked By:kebro in Philadelphia, PA

Sorry if my knowledge is lacking, I definitely don't know much about rhinoplasty. My nose tip is wide due to what I call "winged" cartilage that juts out like airplane wings to each side. I like my nose other than the tip, and simply wish to slim the top by cutting the excess "wings". Can this be done and what would the aproximate cost be? Thank you very much!
