The tip of the nose can be reduced with local anesthesia without siginificant problems when someone undergoes nose reshaping (nose job / rhinoplasty / cosmetic surgery on the nose / nose shaping / rhino plasty / or rino plasty). You don’t need to be under iv sedation or general anesthesia for reducing the tip. The tip is easily made numb for tip rhinoplasty. The tip can be reduced by altering the cartilages through an incision under the nose.
