How much would a procedure cost to slightly thin the cartilage on the bottom/ tip of my nose. I like the size of my nose when I frown but when my face is idle it is too thick for me. I have two photos, one of my relaxed face and one of my frowning face.

Answer: Full rhinoplasty to narrow the tip in the bridge It is very important to make sure all the components of the nose balance with themselves, and the entire nose balances with the patient's facial features. It is very rare to perform only a tip rhinoplasty. Suture techniques and conservative cartilage removal are required to narrow the nasal tip. Osteotomies of the nasal bones are required to narrow the bridge line. A full set of photographs are required to make any determination about the rest of the nose, since the nose is a three-dimensional structure.

Answer: How much would a procedure cost to slightly thin the cartilage on the bottom/tip of my nose? Hi, I have performed and taught Rhinoplasty for over 30 years. From the photo, your nasal bridge and tip are wide with an under-rotated nasal tip (makes the nose appear longer) and a weak chin. If you are happy with the rest of the nose a Tip-plasty, without a full Rhinoplasty, can remove cartilage along the nasal tip area to thin it as you mentioned. A weak chin creates an imbalance making the nose look larger and the mid face appear top heavy. Chin augmentation, with a chin implant, will add projection to the chin creating harmony and balance to the lower face. If you wanted the rest of the nose thinned and refined, this can be done with a closed Rhinoplasty. Hope this helps.
