Tipplasty/ Nasal Tip Sculpting

Conveniently located to serve the areas of London and Manchester

Tip plasty, or nasal tip sculpting is a precise surgery that refines and reshapes the end of the nose. The appearance of the nose between the nostrils is important, as it serves as the focal point of the face. And, if the tip of the nose doesn’t match the proportions of the other facial features, this often results in feelings of embarrassment and self-consciousness.

Whether the nose is upturned, downturned, or bulbous, a skilled plastic surgeon can expertly streamline its appearance. Poorly defined nasal shape can also be altered subtly by adjusting the shape and projection angle of the end of the nose. It’s also an effective way for men and women with nostril to regain congruence and create aesthetic balance.

Preparation

To prepare for a tip plasty procedure, Dr Frati advises patients to do the following things:

Tip Plasty Procedure

All patients will have an individualised treatment plan for their surgery. Dr Frati will use a closed or open technique to access the alar .

A closed tip plasty procedure, also known as a non-delivery approach, is an external access method to sculpt the tip of the nose. This method is suitable for patients who do not have bulbous noses and who do not have asymmetry. Dr Frati will adjust the cartilage and its relationship with surrounding tissues as specified on your treatment plan. The closed tip plasty method is less invasive, which may speed up the recovery period. 

The endonasal, or open tip sculpting procedure exposes more of the alar cartilage. There are more incisions, but these allow easier access and visualisation of nasal structures. This method usually means the procedure itself is longer, and the recovery period may also be longer. The open technique is well suited to the augmentation of bulbous or asymmetrical nasal tips.

Whichever surgical option Dr Frati performs, he will carefully suture the area once your tip sculpting procedure is complete.

However, the recovery period after a tip plasty is usually between 10 days to two weeks. During your recovery, keep your bandages on until otherwise directed by Dr Frati.

FAQ

A tip plasty is a cosmetic alteration of the size and/or shape of the tip of the nose. This means the focus is on changing the alar cartilage that forms it. Standard rhinoplasty procedures may tip surgery, however, many do not. Many patients are satisfied with the angle of their nose, but are not happy with the appearance of the end of their nose. In these cases, the may recommend nasal tip sculpting rather than a rhinoplasty.

Depending on the treatment plan, a tip plasty can be shorter than a rhinoplasty. Open tip plasty procedures are usually longer than closed tip plasty, as this involves revealing more of the underlying structures, and therefore more sutures.

If you are dissatisfied with a nasal tip plasty, you may wish to address any with a secondary surgery. In most cases, surgeons require you to provide details about your prior surgery, and what aspect of your prior surgery results are unsatisfactory. From there, your surgeon will give details on what can be achieved with a second nasal surgery.
