Understanding a Bulbous or Wide Nose Tip
A bulbous tip often appears:
- Rounded or enlarged due to thick skin or excess cartilage.
- Poorly defined, lacking contour or sharpness.
- Droopy or boxy, depending on cartilage structure.
This nasal shape may be due to genetics, skin thickness, or the way lower lateral cartilages are formed.
💡 For patients with thicker nasal skin, results may take longer to appear. You can read more about this in our detailed guide:

Rhinoplasty Techniques for Correcting a Bulbous Tip
According to Dr. Hatem Dalati, bulbous tip correction requires precision and a customized approach. The surgical techniques may include:
- Cartilage Refinement (Tip Plasty)– Reshaping or trimming the lower lateral cartilages to create a more refined tip.
- Suture Techniques – Strategic suturing to narrow and define the tip without over-resecting tissue.
- Cartilage Grafting – Using grafts to provide structure, especially in thick-skinned noses where definition must be enhanced.
- Skin Consideration – In patients with thicker skin, results require patience, as swelling takes longer to resolve.
In some cases, patients of Asian descent may require special consideration due to thicker skin and weaker cartilage support. Learn more in our detailed guide:
