I had my nasal bone rasped about 1 month ago and thought this would solve my issues with my nose; however, I'm realizing now that I need to get my tip reduced to better fit my face. I've read that tip reduction can be performed under local anesthesia, is this true? I have slightly asymmetrical cartilage on the lower part of my nose, would this by a problem? I've posted pictures to help illustrate. Looking at the pictures would you be able to tell me how involved it would be to reduce my tip?
