Hi. Would I be a good candidate for tip plasty. I may have an issue going under and prefer local sedation. I also realize I am over exaggerating in some pictures but this is very much what my nose looks like. As you can see the tip droops down and just want to correct tip without it interfering with my breathing. I have some issues with shortness of breath but nothing related to my lungs.
Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. You are an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty. I think it is one of the most beautifying surgeries that we do as plastic surgeons. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to rhinoplasty surgery. In your case, you need a full rhinoplasty, not just the tip. It is important to only see plastic surgeons with extensive experience in rhinoplasty, ie perform at least 6 per month and have performed hundreds of cases. Also, critically evaluate on-line galleries to see if their art form resonates with yours. Rhinoplasty is definitely a grey haired plastic surgeon's sport. Most plastic surgeons like to perform lip lift procedures at a separate time. Best wishes to you.

Answer: Tip rhinoplasty: things you should know Thank you for your question and for provisioning photos. Though a thorough physical examination is needed to determine the best procedure for you, tip rhinoplasty is ideal for patients who only want to focus on resizing and reshaping the nasal tip. In most cases, you’ll need to be asleep for your rhinoplasty surgery. Even when working on the nasal tip alone, rhinoplasty is one of the most complex plastic surgeries, requiring skill, experience, and artistry to produce the best possible result. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon with expertise in rhinoplasty techniques, who can assess your concerns and answer any questions you may have about your procedure.

Answer: Tip Procedure Hi there! Thanks for your questions. You can certainly undergo a tip-plasty procedure. The problem is doing it effectively under local anesthetic only. Making sure you're comfortable is very important so that the task can be accomplished. I find using structure in the form of cartilage to work best for keep the nose from drooping with smiling. Anesthesia is very safe but certainly you would need clearance before deciding on it. Seek consultation with a number of physicians to see who you feel most comfortable with. Hope this helps!
