These factors work together to create a tip that is either narrow, bulbous, elevated, droopy, or wide when viewed from the front and sides.
Furthermore, the bottom third of your nose is made up of cartilage. If your cartilage is large or weak, your tip may be rounded or droopy. Thick skin can also make it difficult to define your tip, and with age, your tip support may weaken, leading to a drop in your tip. Facial balance is also important. Your tip may appear large because other facial areas are not prominent, not necessarily because your tip is large.

The objective is not reduction but a balanced definition that will accentuate your features without looking unnatural.
