How to Correct Natural Polly Beak Deformity?

A true polly beak typically consists of poor support of the nasal tip due to inadequate cartilage support or poorly positioned lower cartilages. This is likely not the only problem, though and treatment likely involves re-shaping the whole nose. Steroids are not indicated in the congenital, non-surgical polly beak. The goal is to create a balanced nose that has inherent harmony within itself and with your face. The cost of treatment, a rhinoplasty, depends on what correction is necessary and this can't be determined without a consultation but would run in the neighborhood of 6 to 8 thousand dollars in our area. 

Hi

A "polly beak" is a situation where the tip cartilages known as the Lower Lateral Cartilages project or stick out less than the middle vault cartilages above them as well as the bony part of the bridge. Therefore the lower part of the bridge or the middle third of the nose sticks out the farthest and makes the nose tip look like a beak.  Steroid injections only work if this area's fullness is after a rhinoplasty and it due to scar tissue and swelling, not extra cartilage.  Often the correction involves removing cartilage from the middle third of the nose &/or reshaping the tip to give it a better projection and possibly even building up the bone portion of the bridge.

 

Cant tell you what you need without seeing you.  In my practice this type of surgery would cost somewhere on average about $10K which includes hospital and anesthesia fees.  But fees vary widely from region to region and from surgeon to surgeon.
