Nose Tip Plasty 

Tip Plasty Overview

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.

Rhinoplasty Surgery Before & After Photos in Washington DC

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.

Am I A Good Candidate for a Tip Plasty?

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.
