there are many approaches to correct a bulbous tip, both using the open and closed rhinoplasty approaches.  You should go on a few consults to get a number of opinions regarding what can be done.  You will then be able to determine which surgeon is the best choice for you.

Toby Mayer, MD · Answer

I and many experienced  rhinoplasty surgeons who do refinement of the bulbous tip as well as other portions of a rhinoplasty procedure  such as fixing a deviated septum (which need to be done)..See a surgeon who can show you before and after results with large bulbous tips which  Will fit your face and not look unnatural.

There are excellent doctors in both countries as long as you do you due diligence in researching the specific surgeon who will perform your surgery.  It's often prudent to consult in person with ~3 rhinoplasty specialists  to find who fits your personality and instills confidence in you.

consult a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty. Bulbous noses are common. However, you should feel comfortable with your surgeon.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

A closed rhinoplasty approach can accomplish reduction of the bulbous nasal tip.  Suture techniques, a conservative cartilage removal, and sometimes cartilage grafting techniques are required to narrow the bulbous tip.  Digital computer imaging would be helpful to understand what can be accomplished with your new nose upon her facial features.

Keep in mind that following advice from a surgeon on this or any other websitewho proposes to tell you what can be achieved and exactly how to technically do it without seeing photos and more importantly without examining you, physically feeling your tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history and discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not be in your best surgery. Natural appearing results need to be individualized and what is appropriate for one patient is not necessarily the best for someone else. I would suggest that you find a surgeon with extensive  rhinoplasty experience certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or a facial plastic surgeon (otolaryngologist) that you trust and are comfortable with. If you live outside of the United States, the surgeon should ideally be a member of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS). You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.Robert Singer, M.D., FACSLa Jolla, California
