Can the nose tip be lifted by stitching tip to the septum?

The short answer to your question is that the tip of the nose can be sutured in what is called a tongue and groove fashion to raise the tip. However, this typically only lifts it a few mm so if subtle improvement is desired, then this technique may be employed. However, the tip can be drooping from any of number of conditions including excessive tip length, too long of a septum, etc. and may require additional techniques. I would see a board certified facial plastic surgeon in your area.

The answer is that it can help, but is usually not the only thing that needs to be done. If the nasal tip is droopy because the lateral cartilage is really long, then the lateral cartilage must be shortened or the tip won't come up. That is why it is so important to find a rhinoplasty specialist to consult with so that he/she can analyze your nose and give you a proper opinion.

There are several ways to lift the tip of the nose. The one I think works best is to trim the cartilage at the lower edge of the septum and the excess nasal lining ( mucosa) in that area as well. Otherwise you may end up with a hanging columella.

Yes this is called the "tongue in grove" maneuver described by Russell Kridel, MD. I use this maneuver all the time.

....On the anatomy of the septum...... many patients with poorly supported nasal tips have septal insufficiency anteriorly and inferiorly.... this is precisely where tip support is required for proper tip proper tip projection and rotation

When the septal cartilage is sufficient, you in fact can suture the tip cartilages to it.... when the septal cartilage is insufficient, a septal extension graft can be placed to provide the platform for tip support

The simple answer is yes but the technique is slightly more complicated then simple sutures. So go on some consultations with experts and compare recommendations after a full examination and discussion of desired results and look at photos of similar patients and become fully informed about the desired procedure
