AESTHETIC MEDICAL CLINIC
Bulbous Nose Tip Correction
The tip of the nose is one of the most defining features of the face, and small changes can make a significant difference to the overall profile. At our Clifton, Bristol clinic, Mr Simon Lee, a Consultant Plastic Surgeon, offers both surgical tip refinement and non-surgical options for patients.
Bulbous Nose Tip Correction
A bulbous or rounded nasal tip, where the end of the nose appears wide, round or undefined, can affect the proportions of the whole face. It is one of the more common nose concerns at our Clifton, Bristol clinic.
The cause matters enormously for treatment. Some bulbous tips are primarily due to the shape and width of the lower lateral cartilages, a structural concern best addressed surgically.
Others result from thick, sebaceous soft tissue overlying a narrower cartilage framework, which can respond to certain non-surgical approaches. Many cases involve elements of both. Distinguishing between them accurately requires a thorough clinical assessment, which is precisely what Mr Lee is experienced in providing.
Non-Surgical Tip Refinement
For appropriate candidates, small amounts of precisely placed filler can project and define the nasal tip, improving its appearance from both frontal and profile views. Results are immediate and reversible. This approach suits patients with a drooping or slightly undefined tip rather than a genuinely wide cartilage structure. Prices from £350.
Surgical Tip Rhinoplasty
Where the bulbous tip is primarily structural, caused by the shape of the cartilages, surgical refinement delivers the most reliable and lasting result. Mr Lee performs both open and closed rhinoplasty in Bristol. The procedure reshapes and refines the lower lateral cartilages to create a more defined, balanced tip.
