Tip Rhinoplasty

Tip Rhinoplasty

by Humanity Plastic Surgery Clinic

From the nasal tip to the columella, philtrum, and lips,
facial balance that flows naturally

Tip rhinoplasty is not simply surgery to raise the nasal tip.

 
At Humanity, our tip rhinoplasty

considers the height and angle of the tip, the shape of the nostril wings (alae) and columella, and even the proportions leading to the philtrum and lips to design a nasal tip that suits your face naturally.

Why Choose Humanity for Tip Rhinoplasty

Point 1

Custom Design Based on Your Tip Cartilage Structure

We check the shape and spread of the lower lateral (alar) cartilages, skin thickness, and the structures that support the tip, then design a tip height, shape, and angle that suit you.

Point 2

Correction Tailored to Your Tip Shape

We take into account the shape and spread of the lower lateral cartilages and, when needed, use your own cartilage (autologous cartilage), such as septal or ear cartilage, to correct the support and shape of the tip.

Point 3

A Natural Tip Line That Considers 
Your Overall Proportions

We look not only at the tip, nostril wings, and columella but also at the proportions leading to the philtrum and lips, designing a tip that blends naturally with your face from the front and the side.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

·  People whose nasal tip looks low or droopy

Procedure Steps for Tip Rhinoplasty

Step 1 
Detailed Assessment of Tip Structure

We comprehensively assess the shape of the tip cartilage, skin thickness, the height and degree of drooping of the tip, and the shape of the columella and nostrils to determine the extent of correction.

Step 2 
Tip Design to Suit Your Face

Considering your overall facial proportions and how the nose fits with them, we plan the height, shape, angle, and projection of the tip and design a natural tip line.

Step 3 
Custom Tip Cartilage Correction

Matched to your tip structure and design, we bring together or reposition the cartilage and, when needed, use materials such as autologous cartilage to carefully refine the height and shape of the tip.

Step 4 
Follow-Up and Recovery Care

After surgery, we closely check swelling, the shape of the tip, left-right balance, and healing, guiding a steady recovery toward a natural tip shape.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Can I have tip rhinoplasty on its own?

- Yes. If the height and shape of your nasal bridge are appropriate, tip rhinoplasty can be done on its own. We comprehensively check the shape of your tip and its proportion to the bridge to decide the extent of surgery you need.

Q. What cartilage is used in tip rhinoplasty?

- Your own cartilage (autologous cartilage), such as septal or ear cartilage, can be used. We decide on the right cartilage and technique based on the support of your tip, your skin thickness, and the degree of correction needed.

Q. Can a bulbous tip be improved?

- A bulbous tip can have various causes, such as the shape of the lower lateral cartilages or thick skin and soft tissue. We correct the tip structure according to the cause, and the degree of improvement may vary depending on your skin thickness.

Q. Will my tip end up too pointy?

- Rather than simply making it higher, we plan a height and angle that suit you naturally, considering skin thickness, cartilage structure, and facial proportions.

Down to the smallest detail of the tip,
natural for your face

What matters in tip rhinoplasty is not simply raising the tip, but balance with your face.

  • Revision Rhinoplasty

    By accurately analyzing what went wrong with the first surgery,revision rhinoplasty that restores a natural lookIn revision rhinoplasty, the nasal skin, scar tissue, and cartilage inside the nose are different in every case. That is why it is important to accurately analyze the problems with the first surgery and their causes, rather than thinking only about the outward shape. At Humanity, our revision rhinoplastycarefully considers your current nasal structure, the remaining tissue, and even your facial proportions to plan revision rhinoplasty that suits you naturally.Why Choose Humanity for Revision RhinoplastyPoint 1Detailed Analysis of the Cause, Based on Your Previous Surgery and Current ConditionWe carefully check the condition of the implant and cartilage used in your previous surgery, structural changes in the nose, and scarring and adhesions to accurately identify the cause of the current problem.Point 2Revision Tailored to Your Remaining Tissue and StructureUnlike a first surgery, the cartilage available for a revision and the condition of the skin and soft tissue differ from person to person. Considering the current condition of your nasal tissue and the support needed, we choose the right materials and technique, such as septal cartilage, ear cartilage, autologous rib cartilage, or an autologous dermal graft.Revision Rhinoplasty Techniques by Concern01.Shifted Implant or Crooked NoseWe check the position of the implant and the structure of the nose, then correct the position and line of the nasal bridge again.02.Nasal Bridge Too High or Too LowConsidering your skin condition and facial proportions, we adjust the bridge to a natural height and line.03.Visible Implant or Implant EdgesDepending on the condition of the skin and soft tissue, we consider replacing the implant or using your own tissue.04.Drooping or Deformed Nasal TipWe analyze the tip cartilage and support structures, then readjust the height, shape, and angle of the tip.05.Short or Upturned Nose from ContractureWe assess scarring, adhesions, and the degree of contracture, then correct the length of the nose and the support structure of the tip again.06.Dissatisfied with the Shape of Your NoseWe reanalyze your current nasal structure and facial proportions and redesign a nasal height and line that suit you.Materials Used in Revision RhinoplastyThe materials needed for a revision depend on the condition of your nose.

We look at the position and condition of the existing implant and the extent of correction needed, then decide whether to remove or replace it.Q.
