Tip Plasty is a surgical procedure that focuses on shaping the nasal tip for a better appearance to suit well with your facial proportion. Instead of undergoing the whole rhinoplasty, Tip Plasty is suitable for the ones experiencing conditions such as wide nose tip, bulbous nose tip, long or short nose tip, as well as an overall uneven nose tip.

Tip Plasty can be performed by both open and closed techniques, depending on your condition.
The procedure works by making a small incision under the nose tip between the nostrils; open surgery is used when your nose requires more extensive sculpting of the nose, whereas closed surgery is for minor adjustments.

In the case where you have a bulbous tip, this is usually due to the thick nasal skin and soft tissue at the tip; the treatment would involve removal of the excess soft tissue to create a small nasal tip.

For the ones with pointy nose tips, cartilage would be taken from other areas such as the septum, ears, or ribs, to add in the volume.

1. Consultation and examination will be done
2. Areas for nasal tip rhinoplasty to be performed will be marked
3. Local anesthesia will be given
4. Cephalic trim cartilage or excess soft tissue removal will be performed, depending on the condition
5. Domal sutures will be placed to raise and narrow the nasal tip
6. Cartilage cap graft will be placed to provide a definition for nasal tip
