Particularly nasal is suitable for patients who are thin and low, and the duration of the procedure is generally shorter. Nasal tip lifting can be performed alone under local anesthesia or under local anesthesia + sedation anesthesia. The "nasal tip aesthetic" or "nose tip plasty" procedure is performed to shape and remove the tip of the nose at the same time. It can be considered a slightly larger process. Nasal aesthetics are ideal for patients with large nasal and low-vision patients, especially as seen in the above photo. In these patient groups alone, nose removal may cause the nose tip to appear to be wider and unnaturally "ball-like" (the cephalic parts of the alar cartilage becomes even more pronounced).

Understanding Nose Tip Plasty


Nose tip plasty, also known as tip rhinoplasty or tip refinement surgery, is a surgical procedure aimed at improving the appearance and proportion of the nasal tip. Unlike full rhinoplasty, which addresses various aspects of the nose, nose tip plasty focuses solely on refining and reshaping the tip. It can be an attractive option for individuals who are dissatisfied with the appearance of their nasal tip but do not require extensive changes to the rest of their nose.

The goals of nose tip plasty may include:
  • Correcting a bulbous or drooping tip.
  • Enhancing tip definition.
  • Adjusting the angle between the tip and upper lip.
  • Reducing nasal asymmetry.

This patient underwent widening of the nasal valve stenosis with rib cartilage and lifting of the tip of the nose. Purple colored stitches fixing parasute grafts can be seen on the patient's nose wing. Although it is possible to perform such a surgery under local anesthesia; It will be a very uncomfortable surgical procedure for the patient. Patients may experience serious pain during local anesthetic injection into the tip of the nose. Not every patient's tolerance to pain is the same. It is useful to discuss this issue in detail with the patient before surgery. In patients with low pain tolerance, exaggerated blood pressure elevation during the procedure may cause bleeding during surgery and increased edema after surgery.
