We use autologous cartilage to lift and gather a blunt or drooping nose tip to create a distinct and sophisticated nose tip.
Tip rhinoplasty is a surgery that uses cartilage to gather and lift a wide, round (bulbous nose) or drooping nose tip, refining it to make it distinct. It can be performed to correct only the tip without a bridge implant, or in combination with augmentation rhinoplasty.
A nasal tip support is created using septal and ear cartilage, and the cartilage is gathered to adjust the height and direction. Thick skin and soft tissues are appropriately trimmed to enhance definition.
It is suitable for cases where the tip of the nose is blunt, wide, drooping, or upturned, or where the nostrils are visible.
If the skin is thick, there may be limitations to the definition, and forcing it up can strain the skin at the tip of the nose.
Yes, there are many cases where only the tip of the nose is corrected. However, it is more natural to consider the balance with the bridge of the nose as well.
Thick skin can limit definition, so soft tissue trimming and setting realistic goals are important.
