The thing that bothers me most about my nose is my ill-defined tip. I had a consultation with a doctor who said tip plasty alone would be feasible. During my research, I encountered this article: Interdomal Suture through a Nondelivery Endonasal Approach: A New Technique by Harel and Leibou It made me wonder: would it be possible to have interdomal sutures places under local anesthesia to make a minor, less invasive change to my wide nasal tip? Could this be done as a stand-alone procedure?
Answer: Tip plasty for select patients who are not anxious and can handle local anesthesia procedures, we have done tip-plashy nose work (and more) in our offices without problems. Be sure to discuss your goals and concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon and consider the pros and the cons. Be certain your surgeon is properly certified. I've attached a link where you can start your search.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. It is extremely difficult to give specific advice about nasal tip surgery without evaluating your tip. Make sure you specifically look at before and after

Answer: Tip rhinoplasty Tip work represents some of the most intricate portions of the rhinoplasty surgery. As such, it is not simple and should be done under the most ideal circumstances. I would advise against attempting it under local anesthesia.

Answer: Minimally invasive rhinoplasty Rhinoplasty is complicated and when making an adjustment on one part of the nose, it's frequently necessary to subtly address another area in order to maintain aesthetic harmony. The more difficult it is for the surgeon to access and visualize all the structures of the nose, the more challenging it is to deliver a good result. Of course, any approach can be attempted, whether under local or not, but even with skilled hands, the more limited the surgical exposure (i.e. minimally invasive), the more complicated the seamless execution of the rhinoplasty.A visit to a plastic surgeon's office will help you to understand if you're a candidate for the procedure, and what aesthetic outcomes are realistic in your particular case. In order to get a qualified, ethical, and expert opinion on your surgical options and expectations, schedule an in-person office consultation with a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

Answer: There are no shortcuts in rhinoplasty I frequently see patients for a second consultation or following a previous rhinoplasty who tell me about the extremely non invasive way that another physician has described to them how they are going to fix their nose. I feel that your first concern should be an excellent surgical outcome that you are confident with and one that will last and you will enjoy for many years. Choosing a surgeon for your rhinoplasty procedure based on the promise of "minimally invasive" rhinoplasty and minimal downtime does not guarantee that your goals will be met. As the patient you have complete control (within reason) over how you would like your nose to look. The surgeon should perform the appropriate surgery based on their experience in order to deliver you the nose you desire.
