Nose Tip Aesthetic

Nose Tip Aesthetic
It is the procedure performed to correct the deformity at the tip of the nose (asymmetry, width, lowness, pinched nose tip deformity) in which the anatomical structure of the nasal bone is normal.
What is Nose Tip Aesthetic (Tip Plasty)
It is an operation where there is no problem in the anatomical structure of the nasal bone, only the deformities at the tip of the nose (asymmetry, width, lowness, etc.) are corrected. In the operation performed for the needs of the patient, areas such as the bone, cartilage, skin, and mucosa of the nose are not intervened. This method is also used to change and clarify the angle of the nose tip.
Which Methods Are Used in Nose Tip Aesthetic?
Different techniques can be applied for nose tip aesthetics in line with the needs of the patient. The closed technique is one of them. In the closed technique, operation time is shorter and postoperative recovery is faster than other techniques. Another technique is the open technique. The experience of the doctor is important in the surgery to be applied with this technique. As in other nose aesthetic surgeries, the surgeon’s control area is narrower in open nose aesthetic surgery. Both methods have advantages and disadvantages. Both methods are evaluated according to the patient’s condition and the most accurate method is selected.
Who Can Have Nose Tip Aesthetic?
These aesthetic operations are applied to people who are psychologically healthy and who have completed their physical development. Although bone development varies according to individuals, it is completed between the ages of 16-18 on average. After these ages, nasal tip aesthetics can be performed, but in case of emergency, it can be intervened before these ages.
The nasal tip aesthetics is suitable for people with nasal asymmetry, low nasal tip, nose structure that looks like a pinched nose, and a width of the nose tip. For people with an arched nose, it is not enough to perform nasal tip aesthetics alone. Larger rhinoplasty surgeries should be preferred for these people.

- The duration of the nasal tip surgery varies from person to person, as in other surgeries. It is usually done in 30 to 60 minutes.
