What Is Tip Plasty?
Tip plasty is a focused surgical procedure designed to reshape only the tip of the nose without altering the nasal bones or the rest of the nasal structure. It is recommended for individuals who are bothered by a wide, droopy, asymmetric or undefined nasal tip. Because the surgery targets a limited area, it is less invasive than full rhinoplasty and offers a shorter recovery period. The primary goal is to refine the nasal tip, improve definition and enhance overall facial harmony while preserving the patient’s natural features.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate?
Tip plasty is ideal for individuals who:
The procedure is also suitable for patients who previously had nasal surgery but require minor refinements limited to the tip area.
How the Procedure Is Performed
Tip plasty can be done using either the closed or open technique. For minor adjustments, the closed approach may be sufficient; however, for more detailed refinement, the open technique provides better visibility and precision. During the operation, the surgeon reshapes the nasal tip cartilages using advanced suturing techniques, structural support maneuvers or small cartilage grafts if needed. These grafts help create better projection, symmetry and long-term stability. Since the nasal bones remain untouched, tissue trauma is minimal and the procedure duration is typically shorter than full rhinoplasty.
Results and Recovery
Recovery after tip plasty is generally quick and well tolerated. Mild swelling is expected during the first few days, but most patients return to work or social activities within 5–7 days. The nasal tip gradually settles into its final shape over 2–3 months, with refinement continuing as healing progresses. When performed by an experienced surgeon, tip plasty provides natural, elegant and long-lasting improvements.
