Q: I am looking to reduce the skin in my tip, define the bridge and tip and then reduce the visibility of my nostrils. I do NOT want the circular, pinched tip that I’ve been seeing in ethnic rhinoplasty result pics. I’m actually a fan of a more boxed tip.Thanks for your help!
A: The challenge with thick skin is that even if definition is created to the nose and cartilage underneath the skin, these changes will not show through the skin. In these cases additional support and structure is necessary to create definition in the tip of the nose. Using grafts made from your own cartilage will be the best approach for a natural-appearing, lasting result.
