Septoplasty/turbinectomy AND Tip Refinement? (photo)
due to breaking my nose i have breathing issues (deviated septum) along with a hump on my nose! my surgery is about 2 weeks away and i'm beginning to get nervous. in addition to correcting my breathing the plan is to narrow my nasal bridge but my ps never mentioned refining the tip. should my tip be refined to improve the results of the procedure? or is this commonly performed without? im afraid my nose will look too wide & i would like the aesthetic appeal to be improved along w/functionality

Rhinoseptoplasty and Tip Work
Whenever the dorsum is reduced and the nasal bones are fractured there is some narrowing to the top of the nose. If the same proportions are desired as preop, the tip can be narrowed as well.

The important factor is to ensure that results addressing both functionality and aesthetics are achieved. If you are undecided about your tip, please address this before surgery with your surgeon by making another appointment to iron out the concerns you have. Please consult with a board certified specialist who can assist you in achieving the results you seek.

Your tip isn't bad. The removal of the bump and narrowing the nose are both reasonable, straightforward procedures in your case. If you want some refinement of your tip, you should ask your surgeon about it. from my perspective, I like to keep things simple, and your nose could be done without touching the tip.

Rhinoplasty and tip work
I think it is very important for you to review the surgical plan with your surgeon before surgery. Most rhinoplasties include tip work but I always go over what I can do with my patients. Good luck.

Hello,
Rhinoplasty can be performed on the either the bridge or the tip alone, but the procedure most commonly addresses both features. I agree that the tip of your nose would benefit small changes to enhance the definition.

You could certainly consider adding tip refinement to your upcoming rhinoplasty procedure. The main issue is whether you want that part of your nose changed or not. I'd recommend discussing this with your surgeon to see if he or she is able to add tip surgery your your surgical plan.

Tip definition
Tip defnition is essential to an aesthetically pleasing nose. Your tip has bulbosity and refinement will help. You should discuss it with your surgeon. Please make sure to go over details about how much narrow or refined you want your tip to be. Also, discuss if the nostrils are wide and should be trimmed. Now is the time to discuss all this in detail before your upcoming surgyery.
