Also, how will this affect the shape of my nostrils?
Answer: Correcting a droopy nasal tip: Correcting a droopy nasal tip: lifting or “rotating“ a droopy nasal tip does not require a cut across the columella or any incision in the skin of the nose. It can be done very effectively with a closed rhinoplasty. Not all plastic surgeons perform closed rhinoplasty, but many do. Elevating a drooping nasal tip does not really change the shape of the nostrils but from the front you will show more nostrils.

Answer: Correcting a droopy tip There are various causes for a droopy tip. These can all be corrected with a rhinoplasty. These can be done closed (incisions are all inside the nose) or open (same as closed but with a small incision in the skin between the holes of the nose). Regardless of what technique is used there should not be any noticeable scars once everything is healed. Often, surgeons will use your own cartilage to offer support to your tip and help lift the tip. This is something very commonly done with all rhinoplasties. Hope this helps!

Answer: Open rhinoplasty Your nasal columella angle is less than 90 degrees. This needs to be corrected and the tip can be refined. This will require an open rhinoplasty.

Answer: The correction of a droopy nasal tip appearance involves reconstructing the nasal tip. Based on your photo, you appear to have thick nasal skin and a droopy nasal tip appearance. Maneuvers that we utilize to improve upon this include cartilage division, Columella strut grafting, and extended shield graft placement. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Additional tip support is required. The best answer to your concerns could be given after an in person consultation, where the structure of your bones, strength of your cartilage and thickness of your nasal tip skin could be evaluated. Having said that, from your photograph, it appears you have relatively thick tissue at the tip of your nose. In order to raise your tip, additional support would be required to project your nose, slightly forward and upward to correct its drooping. This is usually done by using a piece of cartilage from your nasal septum to add additional support underneath the nasal tip. As the nasal tip gets projected forward and upward, it usually slightly elongates your nostrils. Discuss this in detail with your plastic surgeon.
