I'd like to keep the top 2/3 of my nose in tact, and only have some cartilage removed from the tip to reduce my bulbous and dropping nasal tip. is this possible? if so, will it be less expensive than a traditional rhinoplasty?

Answer: Cost of nasal tip rhinoplasty You have asked two questions. You can certainly can leave the upper two thirds of your nose untouched and have some modifications of your nasal tip only. I will caution you, however, that your surgeon may demonstrate that changes to your nasal tip shape, projection. and rotation can also change the relationship of your nasal tip to the upper 2/3 of your nose and you may want some minimal modifications performed. In terms of cost, most surgeons would say that the nasal tip is the most difficult part of the rhinoplasty procedure and unless you required minimal intervention to the nose, the price will not likely vary to any significant degree.

Answer: Tip plasty Thanks for your question and photos. For refining the tip of the nose, either a closed or open (my preferred method to get maximum control of symmetry) tip rhinoplasty can be performed which refines the tip with minimal scarring. An open technique allows better visualization and control of the paired cartilages which act in conjunction to define your tip shape and symmetry. The ability to see both cartilages simultaneously and work on them together allows the surgeon ultimate control over both the shape and symmetry and, of course, beauty of the nose. It's best to set up a few consultations with different surgeons and make an informed decision based on their experience and speciality in the field. View their before and after photos to see what the outcome could potentially be.
