Hi! I am wondering if a tiplasty could avoid the functional issues that could arise from a full-on cosmetic rhinoplasty. Also, how much difference can a tip plasty make in thick skin (male Indian) for a droppy nose tip? Thank you!
Answer: Tip vs. full rhinoplasty It is improssible to give you good advise without any photos. In general, rhinoplasty should not create breathing problems if proprely planned and performed! Tip refinement surgery only may be usefull in very few patients and very frequeently additional procedures on the dorsum, base and septum, may be needed to create most favourable result. Only on the basis of in person consultation, an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon, expert in rhinoplasty, may give you more accurate plan of tretment. Good luck.

Answer: You need to be examined At what stage do you have a breathing problem? In which area does the narrowing occur? It is not possible to say anything definite without knowing the answers to these and similar questions. It would be a better choice to make a decision after the examination.

Answer: Tip-plasty Hello and thank you for your question. A procedure limited to just the tip of the nose could definitely address your concerns, and is probably less likely to cause breathing issues when compared to a full rhinoplasty. That being said, breathing issues after tip-plasty still can occur, so it is good to be aware of this possible risk. Rhinoplasty in general is not a skin procedure. The surgery addresses the bone and cartilage beneath the skin, and the skin simply drapes over the new framework that was created. The thickness of the skin can limit the amount of change that is able to be made.
