Nose Tip Aesthetics; The most striking part of the nose is the tip of the nose, and this area is also very important from an aesthetic point of view. It consists of the uppermost junctions of two letter “n” shaped cartilages that make up the wings of the nose. There are many different types and they have characteristic features among races. Height, width and angles are very important. The skin of this area has the thickest skin structure in the nose. While the skin is thinnest at the root of the nose, it thickens as it reaches the tip of the nose, and the number and density of the sebaceous glands inside the skin increases. It is also possible to surgically correct only this area, but good planning is required before the surgery so that the rest of the patient’s nose can adapt to the result to be achieved. Not every patient may be a suitable candidate for nasal tip aesthetics, so the patient should discuss this issue in detail with his doctor.
There are various reasons that distort the shape of the tip of the nose, which should normally have a triangular geometry. Nasal skin thickness, excess soft tissue under the nasal skin, rough structure of the nasal tip cartilages. Disruption of the 30-degree angle between the nasal tip cartilages, disruption of the cartilage protrusions at the tip of the nose that give polygonal light reflection, and disruption of the nasal tip cartilage support are some of these. By identifying these causes in advance, a cause-oriented treatment is performed. Incorrect geometry may be structural, due to infection, trauma, or previous surgery.
The main deformities at the tip of the nose can be summarized as ball nose tip, pointed nose tip, bracket nose tip, asymmetric nose tip, drooping nose tip. Although tip plasty, also known as tip plasty, is part of a full nose operation, it can sometimes be performed alone. Tip plasty is recommended especially for people who want minor changes in their nose or whose only problem is the nose tip. Especially as age increases, the tip of the nose falls. For this reason, tip plasty is also used as part of advanced age facial rejuvenation procedures. Another type of tip plasty is used in people whose nose tip falls or moves when they smile or talk. The person gets rid of the problem with a procedure directed at the muscles connecting the tip of the nose and the lip muscles.
If the problem at the tip of the nose is not severe, the procedure can be completed completely closed and without stitches. In people who have a lot of problems at the tip of the nose and need a lot of cartilage support, then an open rhinoplasty operation may be required. Shaping the cartilages that form the tip of the nose, shaving them if they are excessive, creating nose tip cartilage angles, tip hangings or cartilage supports are the procedures performed during type plasty. In noses where tip plasty will be performed, the nasal tip skin must be ready for the procedure. Unwanted results may occur in people with problematic nasal skin or in people who have undergone a recent surgical procedure but the swelling of the nasal tip skin has not yet disappeared or has not gained enough flexibility. Thick nasal tip skin does not indicate changes in the nasal tip cartilage skeleton. In this case, for example, if a round nose tip is to be corrected, the existing situation may not improve.
Some people with nasal tip aesthetic problems may incorrectly interpret that the entire problem is at the tip of the nose. When a detailed examination is made in these people, it is noticed that there is a harmony disorder in the rest of the nose. In this case, only nose tip aesthetics will not work. A complete nose operation is required.
The nose tip cannot be evaluated alone. The frontal nasal projection, where the tip of the nose is located, is closely related to the upper lip. If there is no harmony between these two structures, the balance in the middle of the face will be disrupted. The drooping nose tip shadows the upper lip distance. This situation hides the lip aesthetics. In such cases, it is noticed that the lip aesthetics also changes after the procedure.
In rhinoplasty, there are options other than surgery, such as fillers and botox. Although good temporary results are obtained in nasal dorsum aesthetics with filler, the filler does not have much place at the tip of the nose. The inelastic nature of the skin at the tip of the nose prevents filling in this area. Botox can be effective in slight nose tip lifts. However, botox will only work for people who are found to have an active muscle that lowers the tip of their nose when they smile.
It is not always right for a patient with a humped nose to request nose tip aesthetics. Generally, the right candidates are patients in whom other aesthetic units of the nose have no problems.
Nose tip aesthetic surgery; It is a correction procedure performed only on the cartilages at the tip of the nose, without touching the septum, that is, the cartilage structure in the middle that divides the nose into two, and the bone structure that forms the back and sides of the nose.
In this way, thick, sagging, long, high, narrow or wide nose tips can be reshaped. Nose wings can be narrowed.
If necessary, tampons can be placed and a cast can be applied at the end of the surgery. It is also possible to do it without tampons and plaster. The decision should be left to the plastic surgeon performing your surgery. If a tampon is inserted
