Can a nose tip revision be done without breaking the bone? (photos)

February 19, 2017
Asked By:lydiaabrams in Tucson, AZ

I am trying to find out more information on rhinoplasty work exclusively for the tip of my nose. I have no issue with the rest of my nose but have long disliked my bulbous tip. I would like to see it raised (but no ski slope) and smaller with better definition in the nasal area and smaller nostrils. The photo below I manipulated with an app of what end result I am looking for. Is it feasible to do that and not break the bone? What is the down time for tip surgery? Approximate price range?

Answer: Hmm. Probably, working on your nose is more than just the tip, but that's not a bad thing. See the morph I made from your photo.
