Ask An Expert: What's The Best Procedure For A Bulbous Tip?

Anand Patel • July 16, 2021

Question: "I'm really insecure about my nose. My issue with it is the huge bulbous tip. My bridge is straight and I don't see any other problems other than the round big tip. I think it draws too much attention and doesn't fit my face. My main goal is for it to look natural... basically my nose but lessened. How much would it cost? How long do you think the surgery would take?"


Answer: "You would be a good candidate for a tip rhinoplasty. There are multiple ways to reduce a bulbous tip to better match the width of your bridge. Tip rhinoplasties cost less than full rhinoplasties and have less recovery time."


Below is an example of a patient with a bulbous tip that has been narrowed. For more information on tip rhinoplasty, visit read this guide to tip rhinoplasty.
