Question

I want to lift my tip and narrow it a bit Height:160cm Weight:59 kg Female

Semih Yildiz, MD, FEBOPRAS · Answer

Your photos show that the tip is the main concern, but photos alone cannot determine whether a tip-only operation would give the desired narrowing and lift. Tip plasty can use cartilage sutures and/or grafting to refine projection and rotation; the result depends on skin thickness, cartilage strength, septal support, and the relationship of the tip to the bridge and nostrils. Even a limited procedure can change nostril shape, breathing, and facial balance, and a droop that appears with smiling may have a dynamic component. Please consult a board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon for an in-person exam, including breathing and profile assessment. Discuss realistic limits, asymmetry, persistent fullness, and whether any bridge or functional work is necessary.

Hi, It is better for you to consult with your facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and give you opinion based on examination. Yes, it would.

John Michael Thomassen, MD · Answer

Yes, a rhinoplasty can rotate your nose superiorly to improve tip aesthetics.  However, there is always a need to match the dorsum to the tip, and there may be the need for septal cartilage strut, so it would not be simple tip-plasty.

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

Based on your photos, you appear to have a wide nasal appearance on front view, and a long nasal appearance on profile which is associated with a hanging columella. Rhinoplasty surgery techniques may be considered for achieving a smaller, narrower, less distracting, and more feminine nasal appearance. Consider meeting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialist so you could see what to expect after surgery. Thank you for your question, and I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. Maneuvers for your surgery would include dorsal hump reduction, tip refinement, nasal tip deprojection, tip elevation, among other maneuvers. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

You can achieve a great look with rhinoplasty. I see that your nose is wide, so if you are considering a tipplasty why not consider a full rhinoplasty. Good luck.

Bruce B. Kadz, MD, FACS · Answer

A tip rhinoplasty combined with conservative reduction of the dorsal hump above it should give you a much improved look.

Pawel Szychta, MD, PhD, DSc · Answer

Tip plasty can refine and lift the nasal tip by reshaping cartilage and adjusting support structures, creating a narrower and more lifted appearance. It’s less invasive than full rhinoplasty and ideal for localized improvements. Consult a surgeon to assess your anatomy and goals.
