Bulbous Tip

Overview

Bulbous tip correction narrows a wide, round tip and, where needed, the nostrils, for a more refined nose.

Methods & types

• Cartilage reshaping and suturing
• Alar (nostril) reduction where indicated
• Grafts for definition

Who it’s for

• Wide, rounded tip
• Flared or wide nostrils
• Poor tip definition

Recovery

• Splint about 1 week
• Tip refines slowly over months
• Nostril scars mature over time

Approximate cost

USD 2,500–5,000

Ranges are rough estimates and vary widely by clinic, technique and individual case. Always confirm the exact price at consultation.

Considerations

• Thick skin limits how sharp the tip can look
• Balance narrowing with natural proportions
