This nose contains a number of features that were changed during surgery. The nose was
too long for her face. The hump was removed. The tip was too
wide, and she has another interesting problem with her tip cartilages: with her
strong cartilages and thin nasal tip skin, we can see a dent at the tip of her
nose. The dent isn't visible in the after picture.
The new nose fits her face much better.

Questioner:
How Do You Fix a Nose with a Bulbous Tip?
How exactly is excess tissue removed from the tip of the nose? (Questioner submitted photos)
Dr. Denenberg's answer: By modifying the cartilages in the tip, not so much by removing them!
Hi, The tip cartilages are very thin, but they are arched, and if the arches are wider, then then the tip will look wider. There are various ways to change the position and shape of the cartilages to narrow the tip. The Web reference link below goes to the first page of an essay I wrote on narrowing the tip of the nose. Careful, though, because there are photos taken during surgery, although not on the very first page of the essay.
