Tip plasty
With a bulbous, or rounded, tip, the nose can look wider than it actually is. A flat nose tip indicates wide nostril cartilage within the nose. A slimmer nose can be created by removing a small portion of the wide cartilage, gathering them together, and removing excess soft tissue. In many cases, for extending the nose, the tip is also a necessary factor to create a perfect nose. Depending on the nose there may be additional grafting using your own ear cartilage, septum (nose) cartilage, fascia (connective tissue), or dermis (skin).
Process of tip plasty
- The surgeon diagnoses the condition of a wide nose tip
- Natural, elegant, and slim nose tip is created by gathering the wide nose tip cartilage. If necessary, additional autologous (your own) grafting material will be used
