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: Are you a good candidate for nasal tip plasty? Are you a good candidate for nasal tip plasty? hello, and thank you for your inquiry. It does appear that you have a Bulbous, over projecting, and drooping nasal tip. It is theoretically possible to reduce the width and projection of the tip and elevate or “rotate“ the tip upward. This would probably also necessitate reduction of the dorsal Cartilagenous septum in the area above the tip. this might then result in the bridge appearing to have a small bump if nothing is done to it. If you are OK with that you might be one of those rare exceptions where nasal surgery can be done on the lower 2/3 of the nose without doing the bridge. what I have described is more than just a “tip plasty“. It could be done with local anesthesia and sedation if you really want that. Decades ago full rhinoplasties were routinely done with local anesthesia and sedation. Ironically sedation is more risky than general anesthesia since there is no control of the airway. The handful of disasters that have occurred in head and neck surgery have occurred in the setting of oversedation without control of the airway. I’m not sure what you are referring to when you talk about a breathing difficulty. You mentioned that there is nothing wrong with your lungs. Do you have a deviated septum? Do you have difficulty breathing through the nose, but breathe well through the mouth? Are you referring to panic attacks or other forms of anxiety? At any rate you are a very attractive young woman and a smaller nose would suit your other features quite well.

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.

Answer: Tip Rhinoplasty Yes you are an excellent candidate for a rhinoplasty in general. You truly need an evaluation in person to ensure that you have been told everything about surgery in advance given your shortness of breath.

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.
