Is a minor tip lift/tip rotation easily achievable?

Question

Say I had a nose job and would still like my tip to be rotated another 5-10 degrees upward could this be a minor in office procedure? What’s things can be done to achiever this without having to go under general anesthesia and go through another surgery all over again? Please note I don’t want Botox or filler I want a permanent solution. Additionally, I don’t want my nose to be deprojected or projected. I think it looks great. Just want the tip lifted another 5-10 degrees.

In order to permanently rotate a nasal tip appearance upward, it would require exposure of the nasal tip cartilages along with nasal tip reconstruction. In our experience, procedures like this may not be performed with local anesthetic. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hello and thank you for your question. The best way to accomplish this is with a full Revision Rhinoplasty. Any other techniques that you try will likely result in further revisions in the future. 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.
