It is uncommon for an injured nose to require surgery within a
few days of the accident. It often works best to let the nose heal, let
the swelling subside, and then a more exact determination of what needs to be
done can be made.
A rhinoplasty on a nose that has been injured in an accident is more
difficult than a rhinoplasty on a nose that has never been injured.

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.
