Question

The cartilage in my nose curves, starting from where it meets the bone and curves to my right, all down to the tip.

Is it possible for the cartilage to be reshaped?

Also the tip of my nose points down, can this be changed?

Answer

Yes indeed, rhinoplasty surgery can address both deviation of the bridge and tip of the nose, and the direction of the tip.

At the time of the consultation, it is possible to evaluate on computer simulation what it is that you would like to achieve both in terms of reshaping the bridge of the nose and shortening and reshaping for the tip.
