Would rhinoplasty/CO2 laser help with my bulbous tip and thick skin? (Photo)
April 24, 2023
Asked By:gunner1066 in Warszawa, Województwo mazowieckie, Polska
My cartilaginous nose is noticeably wider than my bony nose. I wish the tip of my nose was as narrow as my bony part of the nose. I presume my nasal skin is too thick. If the bulbous tip is fully or mostly caused by the thick skin can I thin the skin and achieve my goal by means of C02 laser therapy? Or am I just stuck with tip plasty?

Thank you for your enquiry and sharing your photographs.
I always find it sad to hear that people are so mean to others and if the main drive for change is comments from others, it may not be a very good idea to have surgery to change your appearance. If this is something that you would like to...
Hi @sophie_12345. I would recommend waiting 1 year to judge the final outcome of your nose. If you are unhappy after the 1 year mark, I would consider a revision rhinoplasty.
Best of luck,
