If 1 mm of caudal septum is resected in a nasal tip, will my tip collapse and droop further?

I am not able to give you an exact answer without nasal photos and what the surgeons surgical plan is. I will say that 1 millimeter is almost nothing in terms of nasal tip support at the caudal septum. I would also add that removing 1 mm of cartilage will not correct a curved tip or caudal septal deviation unless the deviation and curvature are negligible in the first place.

Resection of 1 mm of your caudal nasal septum may result in a shorter nasal appearance by 1 mm. The feasibility of this as a cosmetic procedure is completely unclear without looking at photographs of your nose. Generally, it is over resection of the dorsal septum that causes nasal collapse, not the caudal septum. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
