Can the nasal tip be reduced in size?
Disease description:
I’ve had a relatively large nose since childhood, which makes it look somewhat unusual—almost like a “garlic-shaped” nose. I’d like to ask: Are there any effective methods to reduce the size of a bulbous nasal tip?

Hello, nasal tip reduction is a common rhinoplasty procedure; however, it imposes relatively stringent surgical requirements and demands a high level of technical expertise from the surgeon. This is primarily because hypertrophic scarring (keloid or hypertrophic scar formation) may occur after nasal tip reduction, and improper surgical technique may even lead to rebound enlargement of the nasal tip. Postoperative care is therefore essential to prevent such scarring and rebound enlargement. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
