Is there an option to have a minor nose job to make the nose tip more angular if it's round? (Photos)

Question

I have always wanted a more pointy/angular/refined tip for my nose. I love what it looks like in general and I have photoshopped it on myself and love what it looks like on me. Is it possible for the tip of MY nose to become angular/refined?

Thomas Buonassisi, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question and for submitting your photos. There are many ways to refine the shape of the tip with Rhinoplasty. The results often depend on the stiffness of your cartillages and the thickness of your skin. Also be careful not to overdo things as a natural look is more important than a big change.

best of luck!

Yes, it's possible to refine the nose tip. When you meet with a facial plastic surgeon, he or she will consider your nose in balance with your other features. You can bring the photos of noses that you think would be flattering to your face and these can be discussed.  I hope this helps.

A rhinplasty involving just the tip would refine your tip cartilages by removing cartilage and placing sutures.

There is no such thing as a minor nose job, since rhinoplasty is the most difficult procedure to perform in the entire field of cosmetic surgery. The tip of the nose can be made more refined, but it's very important to have a full set of facial/ nasal photographs, since the nose is a three-dimensional structure. For many before and after rhinoplasty examples, please see the link and the video below

Certainly modifications can be made to get the refined narrower tip you are looking for.  This would usually involve  partial resection of the tip cartilages and possibly suturing the tip cartilages .  Make sure you see a highly qualified experienced surgeon specializing in rhinoplasty and review goals with computer imaging preoperatively.

Dear janitsss, You appear to be a candidate for  rhinoplasty surgery to help refine the tip of your nose. The limitations to the refinement are based upon your nasal anatomy and skin thickness. See some experts in the field of rhinoplasty surgery and have imaging performed to show you the proposed results. The imaging should take into consideration your anatomy and skin thickness providing you a realistic proposed result. Review the surgeons before and after photographs to ensure natural looking rhinoplasty results and then you can make an informed decision. See before and after examples in the link and video below. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.

Hi Janit,Yes, it is possible for you to have your tip refined. I recommend bringing those photos with you to your consult, along with any others that you like the look of. Be sure to also ask for computer imaging so that you and your surgeon are on the same page for how you want your nose to turn out after surgery. Best of luck!Dr. S.
