Preventing Further Aging Nose

January 13, 2011
Asked By:Nickymarieke in Palm Coast

Unfortunately I have a drooping nose and a wider tip due to a aging nose. I've read that the cause of a aging nose is due to a lack of support of the lower lateral cartilages. If I resolve the drooping nose and the wider tip through a rhinoplasty, is it wise to place a graft in the tip to prevent a further aging tip? Additional, what do you consider the best technique(s) preventing excessive scar tissue in the tip?
