Tip Nose Surgery
Raise and Refine the Tip in Nose Surgery
While reducing a bump on the bridge of the nose may be the most common request and manoeuvre in nose surgery (rhinoplasty), it is only one of many possible concerns that can be addressed. Lifting, lowering, or repositioning the tip of the nose is an important part of most rhinoplasty operations. This also usually involves reducing, reshaping and refining the tip as well. (Cory Goldberg, MD, Toronto Plastic Surgeon)
The tip can be raised and refined through a variety of open and closed methods without removing any dorsal overage. (Thomas Guillot, MD, Baton Rouge Plastic Surgeon)
Most patients in my practice want their nasal tips lifted and refined in addition dorsal hump removal. (Vladimir Grigoryants, MD, Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon)
Tip Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is a delicate balance between all its different elements (the tip, dorsum, nostrils, et cetera) and therefore often changing one part of the nose will either change the other parts or can make them look different.
Some patients want only refinement of the tip of the nose and want no changes to the rest of the nose. This can defnitely be done, but the rest of the nose needs to be considered and therefore a consultation by a board certified surgeon Rhinoplasty specialists will really help bring everything into perspective.
Often, when you look at post-operative rhinoplasty picture, if the patient had an obvious bump on the bridge of the nose, then that is what draws peoples attention in the post-operative pictures.

Improving the appearance of the nasal tip
It is possible to raise the tip of the nose and reshape it. I would recommend a consult with a board certified rhinoplasty specialist who uses computer imaging software. He/she may morph a photo of you to give you an idea of how the final result of surgery may appear. This will serve as a great communication tool between you and your prospective surgeon. (Paul S.

Tip reshaping during rhinoplasty
In answer to your question, it is definitely possible to raise the nasal tip as well as reshape it. These are some of the most common maneuvers employed during rhinoplasty.
