Tip Correction Rhinoplasty Surgery
Generally, this is down to the tip of the nose being too bulbous and there are a number of factors that can contribute to this. The first factor is the thickness of the skin on the tip of the nose which requires the removal of a certain amount of underlying cartilage in addition to the removal of fibro-fatty tissue that has caused the bulbous appearance. The second major factor is the relationship and distance between the upper lip and the tip of the nose which can become out of proportion. It’s a common occurrence that the tip of the nose appears to look bulbous due to it drooping which could be due to an over-projected nasal hump at the bridge, but can also be down to the weight of the tissue inside the tip being too heavy to be supported at an appropriate and proportionate angle.
In order to perform a tip correction surgery, your surgeon will assess the amount of cartilage within the nose and determine exactly how much can safely be removed to ensure that the nose will still remain stable once the surgery has been performed.

Why choose tip correction rhinoplasty surgery?
Tip correction rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting deformities or complications associated with the nasal tip, which could arise from a previous rhinoplasty or be inherent. This procedure is often sought to improve both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the nose. The reasons for choosing tip correction rhinoplasty include addressing issues like a drooping nasal tip, especially when smiling, or complications from a previous nose job such as a disfigured nasal tip which might result in a poor surgical result even if the rest of the nose appears attractive.
How does tip correction rhinoplasty surgery work?
The surgery involves a detailed procedure where the aesthetic subunits of the nasal tip are conceptualized as geometric polygons to define the existing deformity, operative plan, and aesthetic goals. During the surgery, modifications are made to the cartilage of the nasal tip, which may include excision (removal), dissection (cutting), repositioning, or augmentation to create the desired outcome. Techniques such as autorim graft, lateral crural steal, and footplate setback are employed to achieve symmetric domes with correct lateral crural resting angles. The surgery also may involve columellar reconstruction, creating a columella breakpoint, and infralobular caudal contour graft to further refine the aesthetics of the nasal tip.
What are the results like?
The results of tip correction rhinoplasty can significantly improve the appearance and functionality of the nose. For instance, post-surgery, the nasal tip may attain a more ideal angulation, closer to 95 degrees, making the aesthetic improvement particularly noticeable when smiling. Additionally, patients may observe a more symmetrical and well-defined nasal tip which aligns harmoniously with other facial features. The surgery may also help in resolving health-related issues such as breathing problems, although the specific outcomes can vary from patient to patient based on individual circumstances and the skill of the surgeon.
