I'm anxiously awaiting rhinoplasty and hope to select a dr soon for the procedure. I met with one who indicated no tip refinement was necessary, but everything I read says its unusual for a large dorsal hump to be removed without some tip refinement? I meet with the second plastic surgeon next week but wanted additional input as I see lots of helpful expert opinions here...thank you!!
Answer: Tip plasty for only bulbous tip. Tip plasty for only bulbous tip. If your tip is not bulbous then you just need hump removal without any tip work which I have done frequently over the past 35 years.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Dorsal hump removal without tip refinement While it is possible to remove a dorsal hump and do nothing else, almost every nose could stand some tip refinement in the form of a cephalon trim of the lower lateral cartilages. It just adds balance.

Answer: Would you recommend a tip refinement for dorsal hump removal? Thanks for the RealSelf posting. YES I always recommend some tip and columella refinement to dorsal hump removals, especially to add a more feminization effect.

Answer: Well-performed rhinoplasty surgery may result in hump reduction, tip rotation and more pleasing nasal appearance Based on your photo, you appear to have a long nose with a droopy tip and a large profile hump. A more feminine nasal appearance may result from both hump removal along with tip repositioning. If your surgeon does nothing except remove your hump, ligaments from your bridge to your tip may be disrupted, and you could end up with a droopier tip. Hump removal, along with tip rotation and support would be my suggestion, based on your profile photo.Hope this helps you.Dr. Joseph

Answer: Tip surgery in addition a dorsal hump removal A full set of pictures are required to make a decision regarding the tip of the nose. The decision to perform tip surgery is usually made when patients have a bulbous tip seen from the frontal view. As long as the tip cartilages are adequate, a tip procedure is not necessary, only the dorsal hump removal. A dorsal hump is composed of both bone and cartilage must be shaved down in order to remove it. Osteotomies of the nasal bones are then required to close the open roof deformity created from the hump removal. For many examples of hump removal with and without tip surgery, please see the link and video below
