When you click on the "Medium" or "Large" button underneath a photograph, you will see that photograph enlarged, and also, where available, different views of the same patient.

This patient had a wide tip to her nose that makes it look like a
ball on the end.
.
The tip of the nose is made out of two cartilages, which sit side
by side. If you press your finger into the tip of your nose, you
may be able to feel the small "dent" in between those
cartilages. Sometimes, as in this patient, you can actually see
the dent between the two cartilages at the nasal tip. That dent
can be lessened or removed at the time that the tip is made
smaller.
.
This nose was made shorter at the same time that the tip
cartilages were made smaller.
.
The major problem with this nose was the ball at the tip. The
nose was very slightly long and there was a tiny hump to be
removed.
