Droopy Tip After Rhino; Can I Just Raise The Tip Without Touching The Cartilage or Bone For Revision?

Yes it is possible to elevate your tip without making changes to the other parts of your nose. Swelling of the tip will certainly occur with this procedure but bruising is usually minimal. Discuss with your origianl surgeon his or her revision policy.

A droopy tip must be corrected through multiple techniques, such as cartilage suturing of the tip and cartilage removal of the dorsum or the tip.  Most surgeons would probably do a touchup on their own cases for a nominal fee.  The charge for a rhinoplasty in our office is approximately $7,000 and the charge for a revision rhinoplasty is $8,500, these prices includes the surgeon’s fee, operating room and anesthesia.

Thank you for your question, the best way to approach the tip is to allow your plastic surgeon to examine you determine what is best for your nose and face in general. As for the cost, you will be responsible for the facility and anesthesia fees, your surgeon may not charge you professional fees. If you elect to have surgery with another surgeon, then professional fees will apply.
