why is my nose tip so wide usually this
is just the way that you're made so it
can be genetics it could be trauma if
you've had trauma to your nose but most
of the time with the people I see it's
just genetics and also your skin can be
a bit thicker making the nose tip look a
bit whiter how wide should the tip of
your nose be so by the textbooks if you
take a line from the inside part of your
brow and you draw it down in a nice
curve down your nose should be right in
line with the Curve down from your brow
you should also have the nose can be
divided into thirds from from the
outside to the tip is about a third
across the tip is about a third and to
the other outside or the Ayla is about a
third this is by textbook there are a
lot of things that we're not necessarily
taking into consideration when writing
those tips so if your nose doesn't
exactly fit that does that mean that
it's too wide no drizzly not necessarily
how does it look on your face does it
fit your features does it look like you
does it look like your family does it
look like you want it to look so you can
go by the numbers in the textbook but
really in the end what it is is we look
at you and what looks the best on you is
it possible to make a nose tip smaller
yes this is one of the most common
things that I do is I take a wider nose
or a larger nose and make it smaller the
way that we do this depends on your
anatomy and your thickness of your skin
and your cartilages and how they are
shaped so you can definitely make it
smaller how we make it smaller varies
from person to person how do you fix a
wide nose tip this depends on the person
if you have thinner skin like myself
what you can do is trim some of the
cartilages you can bring them together
with sutures you can use graphs but you
probably wouldn't want to use too many
because I have very thin skin and you
would see those through my skin if you
have thicker skin then we want to
reinforce the structure of your tip and
be able to support your tips and bring
those cartilages together in a very
structured way and so you're able to see
that thinness underneath the thicker
skin that can involve grafts that can
involve suture that can involves
trimming and reshaping some of your
cartilages is wide nose tip rhinoplasty
more painful know if we're only working
on the tip this is actually not very
painful at all and moving cartilage
around suturing it where you want it to
be doing grafts of course there's going
to be some discomfort because it is
surgery but it's not as uncomfortable as
if say we're taking down a bump or doing
something with the bones at the top of
the nose have questions schedule a
