No prev nose surgeries, breathing is good. I believe I have nasal tip ptosis & thicker than average nasal skin (from viewing it & skin is very oily). 1) Could a ptotic nose tip be fixed with thick skin? 2) Is there a way to lift the tip by shortening the nose & by avoiding projecting the tip? 3) Would this be a more challenging/risky case? Possible success rate? Some other desired adjustments: reduce hump, reduce nostril size, slightly less bulbous tip, deproject tip. I will come in for consults as well; thank you!

Answer: It is possible to correct even if your skin is thick. 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.
