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?

Dear jeherre43, Hopefully by the time I am answering this you have already seen a specialist as this needs addressing immediately. This needs to be removed and the skin edges properly addressed to avoid further scarring. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.

Yes, a revision rhinoplasty to reshape the solve triangle etc. can be done under local anesthesia. The details of this would be discussed once an examination is done of your nose to see it in three dimensions. Choose a very experienced revision rhinoplasty surgeon for this.
