Nasal Tip Surgery Primer

Cosmetic surgeons generally suggest a nasal tip rhinoplasty if the nose displays an over-reduction, under-reduction or asymmetry after the nose surgery procedure.

An over-reduction is usually the result of excess chipping of the nose resulting in a stubby appearance. Additional cosmetic problems like protrusions a collapse of the nasal bone and a raise in the sidewall may also occur due to over-reduction.

Compared to the former, underresection or under-reduction presents an even greater problem for the nose surgery patient as the effect is known to persist. A very common nasal deformity is the occurrence of a pollybeak or parrot beak.

Asymmetry perhaps is the only nasal tip deformity known to occur before the nose enhancement procedure and is one of the most common motivators for a revision rhinoplasty. Plastic surgeons keep face surgery techniques in mind when chalking out nose symmetry.

To correct the nasal tip cosmetic rhinoplasty surgeons generally use techniques like onlay grafts and suture grafts. These procedures are very complex and are always treated as separate surgeries due to the nature of the nose tip which possesses separate mobility.
