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!
Answer: Rhinoplasty can usually improve the appearance... It is always better to see photos or for you to go in for a consultation, but wide cartilage of the nasal tip can usually be reshaped or trimmed to create a thinner tip. It is important to see a rhinoplasty specialist for consultation because you don't want to simply cut the wings off - that could lead to other problems.

Answer: Excess wings The excess wings are the lower lateral cartilages and to trim them is called 'Tip-plasty'. Think of it as only part of rhinoplasty. In this case your recovery is quick and cost is less as well. The cost varies from surgeon to surgeon and between geographical areas. It might cost between $2500 to $15000.RegardsDr.J

Answer: Can cartilage be removed to refine the tip of the nose? The appearance of the nasal tip comes from the size, strength and shape of the cartilage in that area of the nose. Although considered a form of rhinoplasty, tip refinement is more specialized, requiring attention to detail and precision as even millimeters of improvement can sometimes make a difference. Cartilage can be cut, removed, sutured and/or reshaped to achieve the desired result. It's also important to assess the whole nose and not just focus on the tip before deciding on tip rhinoplasty. Often, small changes in the tip may require adjustments elsewhere in order to maintain proportions and harmony.

Answer: Tip rhinoplasty A tip rhinoplasty is less involved than a comprehensive rhinoplasty involving the nasal dorsum. Some cartilage may need to be harvested from the septum to obtain a strut graft to give the tip support. Suturing the cartilages together as well as narrowing them should refine your tip nicely. You can call several offices for estimates but usually they will need a consultation to let you know the price.

Answer: Cost of a rhinoplasty A full set of photographs and an in-person examination are required to determine what is needed regarding the nose. Most patients must undergo a full rhinoplasty, not only cartilage removal from the tip, to make sure that all the structures of the nose balance with themselves, and the new nose balances with the patient's facial features. For many examples and our current price list, please see the link and the video below
