Tip plasty is an outpatient cosmetic procedure that creates a beautiful and attractive nasal tip. This procedure only alters the tip of your nose, whereas a traditional rhinoplasty surgery changes the entire shape of your nose.
During a tip plasty, a small incision is made between your nostrils. Nasal cartilage can be trimmed and reshaped, the nostrils can be made smaller, and the skin can be smoothed. The appearance of the nasal tip is improved.
A local anesthetic is used to numb the surgical area and ensure your comfort. The procedure itself usually takes less than an hour, and you can remain awake the entire time. A tip plasty is also called nasal tip surgery, nose tip surgery, rhinoplasty tip refinement, or nose tip reshaping.
To prolong a youthful appearance and display a more energetic look, Renu Artful Medicine offers patients an array of surgical and non-surgical eye rejuvenation procedures. One of the most transformative surgeries is blepharoplasty, commonly called eyelid lift surgery, performed by Dr. Philip Schoenfeld of the Washington, D.C. suburb, Chevy Chase, MD.

He was incredibly informative, respectful, and receptive to my requests and concerns. I felt entirely prepared for my operation and healing process.

I haven't left a review for anybody but I am doing this for Dr. Philip Schoenfeld to express my appreciation for the exceptional care I received after fracturing my nose during martial arts training. The injury was quite severe, leaving my nose crooked and significantly impacting my breathing. Dr. Schoenfeld assessed my situation promptly and recommended surgery to restore my normal breathing. Getting an appointment within the same week was also incredibly helpful. The surgery was a complete success, and I am so pleased with how my nose looks. What has surprised me most is the significant improvement in my breathing - I can breathe more easily now than I ever have before! Thank you so much for your astonishing work.

I’d give more than 5 stars if I had the option! Paige2025-05-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 2025 - I’ve been going to Dr. Schoenfeld since 2023, and I truly can’t imagine trusting anyone else with my face. I recently came back for cheek filler, lip filler, and a little liquid rhinoplasty to refine the tip of my nose —and I’m completely obsessed with the results. As someone who’s normally terrified of needles, Dr. Schoenfeld makes me feel so comfortable and at ease every single time. His technique is gentle, his eye for detail is unmatched, and he really listens to what you want. His entire office staff and front desk team are incredibly kind and accommodating, which makes the whole experience even better. I can’t recommend him enough! 2024 - Update after rhinoplasty - Saw Dr. Schoenfeld for lip filler & cheek filler. I am absolutely obsessed with the results and can see the difference immediately after. His front desk team is so kind and polite - they made scheduling a super easy and convenient process again. Filler was practically painless. 10/10 experience. I will definitely be coming back!! 2023 - Dr. Schoenfeld is incredible. I had an amazing experience and highly recommend him for all rhinoplasty patients. I went to him for a septoplasty and ethnic rhinoplasty. The procedure itself was painless and downtime was minimal. His team was able to fit me in within weeks for the procedure and follow-up appointments— super easy scheduling and consultation process. I definitely saw a noticeable difference after the procedure. The results are fantastic and everything I could wish for!!! Dr. Schoenfeld addressed all of my concerns and made me feel super confident and supported throughout the entire process— terrific bedside manner. Molly Weaver2025-04-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was recommended to Dr. Schoenfeld by an EMT doctor after a second broken nose. I needed a septoplasty/ rhinoplasty. I googled a few other surgeons after, but after having met Dr. Schoenfeld, I knew I was in the right hands — physically and emotionally! His work speaks volumes, but the concern and understanding he brings to his patients’ desired outcome is quite reassuring. After my procedure, I’ve had a few concerns after accidental head bumps (3 yr old!), and his office staff was wonderful and helpful to squeeze me in asap (thanks Ana! (Sp?)). I wholeheartedly would advise considering Dr. Schoenfeld for any ENT needs. Wonderful person, incredible surgeon, amazing staff. Clarence Dasher, IV2025-03-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot rave about Dr. Schoenfeld enough. I had a rhinoplasty and septoplasty done 12 years ago with him and it has stood the test of time. Matter of fact, I just saw him today and he even mentioned how amazing my results were after all of this time. Most people don't even know I've had any work done and I believe that is the true testament to Dr. Schoenfeld's artistry. He listens to your concerns, makes his expert recommendations, and follows through with amazing work. He also doesn't push anything on you and will actually tell you if something needs to be done or not. I highly recommend Dr. Schoenfeld and hope that he can bring an improvement to your life as he has done mine.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Rhinoplasty surgery, often known as a “nose job,” is an ancient plastic surgery procedure that has been performed for thousands of years. It is used to reshape and resize the nose to look more natural and proportional to the other facial features. Some of the most common requests from rhinoplasty patients include removing a dorsal “hump” from the bridge of the nose, straightening a crooked nose, or reducing the overall size of the nose. Other patients have trouble breathing, often due to a deviated septum, which is caused by crookedness in the nasal septum (the wall separating the nasal passages). Rhinoplasty can improve or correct this issue, which can result in better breathing for the patient. Overall, rhinoplasty is an extremely versatile procedure that can produce incredible results when performed by an expert.
Good candidates for tip plasty are looking to improve the appearance of the tip of their nose. Remember, tip reshaping surgery is only done on the end or tip of your nose. If you are looking to improve the entire structure of your nose, a traditional rhinoplasty may be a better option.
Tip plasties are done on adult men and women who are in generally good physical condition. Before proceeding with surgery, it is important that you fully understand the procedure, recovery, as well as surgical risks and benefits.
Nasal tip surgery can cost around $3,000 to $10,000, with the average cost for tip plasty near Washington, D.C., ranging from $5,000 to $6,000. There are also other factors that may contribute to the overall cost of your tip plasty procedure, such as:
