Can a droopy nose tip be fixed with thick skin? Male, north Indian descent, mid 20s (Photos)

Thank you for your question and for the photos you provided. It is possible to address a droopy nose tip with rhinoplasty. Though thicker skin can present certain challenges, creating a deprojected and less bulbous tip can be achieved by carefully thinning the nasal skin and inserting cartilage grafts for adequate structural support. During rhinoplasty, the nasal hump and nostril size can also be reduced to create a balanced, natural-looking result.

Keep in mind that rhinoplasty is one of the most complex of all plastic surgery procedures, requiring experience, skill, and even artistry to achieve an optimal outcome. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon, with expertise in rhinoplasty techniques. They will be able to review your concerns, answer any questions you may have, and help you decide on the best approach.

Hello! Thank you for your question.From the photos you provided us I can say that; you have very droopy tip, hump on the bridge. For more upward tip, straight bridge and less shown nostrils I recommend you rhinoplasty. It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best Regards!

Dear realselfmember000,
Thanks for your question. In my professional opinion, everybody has different facial features and according to your pictures you have a thick skin, therefore you need to set realistic expectations in terms of reduction, your nose can be reduced as much as your tissues will allow that to do so. You may get your nose slimmer and your bulbous tip more defined than it is now with Closed Atraumatic Rhinoplasty without cutting the tip of your nose. As long as you set realistic expectations your goals seem achievable with a Closed Technique without opening your nose in a relatively short downtime. Your nose can be slimmed from the front, hump and droopy tip eliminated, bulbous tip refined. Possible breathing issues can be addressed at the same session. Make sure to choose an expert in a nose job, since it is a complex surgery which requires an extended experience.

It is very difficult to give you good advise based on these photos. However, you seem to be a good candidate for rhinoplasty. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in nose surgery, is recommended. Good luck.

Your nose displays a drooping tip and appears long. However, even if the skin on the tip is thick, reducing its length is possible by realigning the alar cartilage and using a columellar strut graft. It is also necessary to perform tip projection, as the height of the tip is low. It is important to aim for natural-looking results. Additionally, you also have alar retraction, which is currently concealed by the drooping tip. However, this may be revealed after the tip plasty, so an alar rim correction is necessary to prevent it. The surgery is not highly risky.
Your nasal bridge has a small hump, a wide bony base, and an inverted V deformity. Although these features do not necessarily require correction, they can be addressed through hump reduction, osteotomy, and spreader grafts if you are concerned about them."

Based on your photos, you appear to have medium thickness skin which tends to be favorable to work with. Depending on your condition, rhinoplasty may be considered for achieving tip narrowing, tip projection and rotation, and hump removal for a less distracting nasal appearance. Hope this helps.

Hello @realselfmember000, thank you for your question. Yes, a droopy nose tip can be fixed with thick skin. This is done by a rhinoplasty procedure, which involves the physical appearance of the nose to be improved and the functionality of the nose can be checked and rearranged at the same time with a close technique.

Thank you for your question. You are an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty. I think it is one of the most beautifying surgeries that we do as plastic surgeons. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to rhinoplasty surgery. It is important to only see plastic surgeons with extensive experience in rhinoplasty, ie perform at least 6 per month and have performed hundreds of cases. The incision in open rhinoplasty heals almost always invisibly. Also, critically evaluate on-line galleries to see if their art form resonates with yours. Rhinoplasty is definitely a grey haired plastic surgeon's sport. Best wishes to you.

Your skin is not particularly thick and I think your goals could be acccomplished with a pretty straightforward approach. As a male you don’t want your nose too small however

Your nose is Good candidate for a natural male nose. The problems are hump, droppy tip , thixk skin , tip cartilage malposition and long nose. All of one can be fixed and the nose will be improved
