The beauty of a nose hinges on the appearance of its tip. An aesthetically pleasing nasal tip should be proportionate in size with a subtle upward curve. Enlarged nasal tips are quite common, prompting many beauty seekers to seek tip correction surgery for improvement. Below, we introduce the procedure for correcting a bulbous nasal tip.
A bulbous nasal tip is colloquially referred to as a "garlic nose." This condition arises from thick skin, abundant subcutaneous tissue, and a thickened cartilage framework that bulges outward.
Tip reduction surgery, also known as tip reduction, presents the greatest challenge in treating such nasal tips. During the procedure, part of the alar cartilage dome must be excised. For cases with concomitant hypertrophy of the lateral alar cartilage, the enlarged portion should be appropriately removed.Rotate the lateral alar cartilage 1/2 to 2/3 of the way medially and cephalad. This action will cause the alar base to retract. Make an interrupted incision along the dome of the alar cartilage without severing it.If reinforcing the nostrils or transverse nostrils fails to achieve verticalization, perform a wedge resection at the alar base. If the nasal tip lacks elevation, graft the excised cartilage onto the dome surface to elevate the tip.
This nasal tip reduction procedure is commonly referred to as rhinoplasty. Treating such nasal tips presents certain challenges, requiring significant clinical expertise for precise dissection of cartilage and soft tissues during surgery. Should the final result exhibit insufficient nasal tip elevation, the excised cartilage can be placed over the dome surface to achieve a lifting effect.We wish you a beautiful nasal tip and the confidence to embrace your elegance!
