I'm wanting a nose job but have to problem with the bone part - only the tip. Is it possible with my nose to just have tip width reduced/remove cartilage without touching the nasal bones/dorsal hump? I am wanting to raise tip angle and make less bulbous.

Answer: Tip-plasty It is not quite easy to give you good advise based on these photos. For tip to stay in harmony with the rest of the nose, sometimes small correction of dorsum may be needed. Only on the basis of in person consultation, an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon, board certified plastic or ENT surgeon, can give you better estimate what and how much needs to be done to achieve your goal. Good luck.

Answer: Absolutely Hello, Thank you for your question. You can absolutely alter the tip of the nose through cartilage removal, sutures, etc without addressing the dorsum and bones. It can be done using the closed / scarless approach. There is actually a patient with a nose very similar to yours in the gallery below in case you want to see what it looks like with changes to the dorsum/bone. I wish you all the best. Mark G.
