A closed rhinoplasty approach can address reduction of the bulbous tip. To reduce the bulbous tip requires suture techniques and a conservative cartilage removal applied to the lower lateral cartilages of the nasal tip. The bridge of the nose may also need to be adjusted and the bridge line can be narrowed with osteotomies. For many examples and more information, please see the video and the link below

There is no evidence that rhinoplasty can start the development of a rhinophyma. Just having sebaceous skin alone is not enough of a risk factor that a rhinophyma will happen. Rhinophymas are uncommon entities and rhinoplasty can be done without much concern.RegardsDr. J
The nose appears as such because of the nasal hump pushing the nasal tip downwards. Once the nasal hump is removed, the tip moves upwards and the nose does not appear to be bent downwards. RegardsDr. J
Dear Meh2, As the other surgeons have stated your nose is still quite swollen at nine days post op and will take some time to dissipate especially in the tip area. I would suggest you see your surgeon for follow up and discuss your concerns regarding the "pollybeak deformity" that appears to be...
