In this view you can see the excess width of both sides of the tip of her
nose. Changing the shape of the tip of the nose is one of the more
demanding parts of a rhinoplasty. You can't just carve a new tip, as out
of a block of clay. You must work with the thin leaves of these tip
cartilages, and cajole them into a more pleasing shape.

Questioner:
What Can Be Done to Improve the Appearance of my Nose? (Photos Provided)
I dislike the flat, boxy tip of my nose and the fact that it seems to have very defined edges like a cube. I'm wondering if it's possible to have the part overhanging my septum partly removed and reshaped, making the septum appear thinner and the tip rounder. I also wonder if it's possible to have the boxy edges literally shaved off. How possible would it be for my nose to be shaped more like Winona Ryder's, pointier, more graceful nose? Thank you for your help.
(Questioner submitted photos)
Dr. Denenberg's answer: Need larger photos!
Hi, It does appear from the photos that your tip can be improved. Your photos, however, are far too small for a surgeon to see good detail. Post larger ones, and I'd be happy to make a morph showing what you could look like with a good rhinoplasty. Click the "Web reference" link for a before and after of a patient who had a nose perhaps similar in some features to yours.
