I don't mind my nose side profile or nose generally but I wish my tip was more petite and slimmed down, what would you guys recommend? Could I just get a tip plasty instead of the full rhinoplasty? I want a cuter narrower version of my noses
Answer: Nasal tip plasty versus full rhinoplasty: Nasal tip plasty versus full rhinoplasty: theoretically a nasal tip plasty could be performed independently of the rest of the rhinoplasty. However it is rare that modifying the tip alone will give an optimum result. Usually changing one aspect of the nose requires changing the rest of the nose so that there is conformity and harmony of all the elements. The percentage of patients who I have seen over the years who could benefit from nasal tip plasty without touching the rest of the nose is less than 1%.

Answer: Rhinoplasty just on the tip Hi, yes you can do just the tip if that is the only part of your nose that bothers you. The tip would be made smaller and more refined. Recovery would be faster. This can be done with either open or closed rhinoplasty. But it will still be a rhinoplasty.

Answer: Rhinoplasty candidate Based on these photos you seem to be good candidate for rhinoplasty. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, expert in rhinoplasty, would give you a chance to discuss your goals and options. Most plastic surgery offices where rhinoplasty is frequently performed, will have available 3D simulation software so you can see your anticipated result and participate in surgery planning. Good luck.

Answer: Tip-Plasty? Yes, you're a candidate for tip-plasty to help provide a more defined tip and less bulbosity. However, when you only operate on one part of the nose, the other parts may look different afterwards. Everything is related in rhinoplasty. In my opinion, all aspects should be addressed proportionally.

Answer: Conservative tip plasty could work Hello. Simply addressing the tip could work, however, it would be a very limited correction as there is some width to the middle and upper 1/3 of your nose. If your tip is made significantly narrower, it would be too refined as compared with the middle and upper one third and may look pinched. If you want an overall more slender/petite nose, you’d get a better result from addressing the tip width as well as the with of the upper 2/3 of the nose. Good luck
