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: Tip Rhinoplasty It is very common for patients to request tip modification as their only cosmetic request. I routinely perform tip rhinoplasty as a solitary procedure for patients who are pleased with the rest of the features which make up the nose. I would suggest an in person consultation to discuss your specific goals, and expectations for surgery. Good Luck!

Answer: Tip rhinoplasty... It is certainly possible to keep the upper 2/3 of the nose intact. The nasal tip can be refined so that it compliments and balances the rest of the nose. This tip rhinoplasty may be slightly less expensive than a full rhinoplasty, but not much, because the tip is the hardest part of the procedure. Also, a lot of the cost of rhinoplasty is just into getting the operating room, the set up and supplies, nursing, anesthesia, etc., which are pretty fixed costs. Just make some consultations with rhinoplasty specialists and you should get a good idea of what needs to be done and the costs associated.

Answer: Yes, the upper part of your nose looks fine. Mostly. Elevating the tip is important. See the morphs I made from your photos. Click on the "Learn more" link, just below my response, or go here:

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.
