Nose Tip Aesthetics (Tipplasty)

Nasal tip aesthetics (tipplasty) is a plastic surgery method applied to change the shape, size, size and position of the tip of the nose. This application, which is mostly done for aesthetic purposes, can be applied in different ways in accordance with the nose shape desired by the patient. Among the application methods, sometimes there is a change in the cartilage and bones at the tip of the nose, and sometimes the tip of the nose is cut from the inner structure of the nose. By means of tip plasty methods, it is ensured that the patient reaches the desired nose form. Among the rhinoplasty applications, the nasal tip aesthetic method takes a relatively short time and the patient can be discharged on the same day. Since the functionality of the tip of the nose may be affected in the application of tip plasty, the procedures are started after the patient is aware. More closed type plasty method is preferred by patients.

What is Nose Tip Aesthetics (Tipplasty)?

The position of the tip of the nose may be too low, too high or crooked in people. Among the reasons for this, there are sometimes genetic factors and sometimes accidental factors. Reaching a better shape of the unwanted position of the nose tip by the patient is achieved through the surgical application of nasal tip aesthetics. After nasal tip aesthetics, the patient does not gain a functional advantage. With only an aesthetic appearance, a more symmetrical form of the nose is achieved.

How is Nose Tip Aesthetics Performed?

Nasal tip aesthetics is one of the plastic surgery methods applied under general anesthesia. The application stages differ according to the needs of each patient. However, in general, nasal tip aesthetics is performed with the following stages:

• 1. Before the patient is examined, a photograph is requested from him. A professional photo is taken from the places recommended by the doctor.
• 2. Then the patient comes for examination. Through this photograph, it is discussed between the specialist and the patient how to perform an operation on the tip of the nose.
• 3. The professional advice of the doctor is important at this stage. The type of positioning is designed with a 3D view and the date for the surgery is given.
• 4. Before the operation, the patient is given general anesthesia.
• 5. During the surgery, the doctor makes one or more incisions at the tip of the nose. It adjusts the shape, size and position of the tip of the nose through these incisions.
• 6. After the adjustment process is finished, the incisions are sutured and the operation is completed.
• 7. This operation alone takes 30 minutes when not combined with a different rhinoplasty operation.
• 8. It is normal to have facial swelling and pain in the postoperative period. After 1-2 days, all pains are noticeably reduced.
• 9. In the following weeks, the patient will fully regain his former health.

What are the Nose Tip Aesthetics Application Methods?

The doctor may consider it more appropriate to use different types of plasty methods in accordance with the patient's condition. Among these methods are:

Open Method

In this method, where more pain and swelling can be observed, procedures are performed by making an incision from the tip of the nose. With the incision, the doctor makes the nose reach the desired form. It repositions the nose by drastically changing its shape, size and size. In some patients, the open method is applied if it is thought that this procedure will be better depending on the nose structure.

Closed Type Plasty Method

With the closed type plasty method applied without any incision, it is aimed to obtain a new appearance at the tip of the nose. For this, cartilage and bones are broken through the nose. Then, by entering the shaping process, the appearance that will be suitable for the desired shape is provided. Less pain and swelling is observed in the closed method compared to the open method.

What Should Be Considered After Nose Tip Aesthetics?

Rhinoplasty operations are operations with less risks and faster recovery compared to other surgical operations. For this reason, people can usually be discharged on the same day. In order for the recovery process to take place well after the surgery, some points should be paid attention to by the patient and their relatives. Especially right after the nose tip surgery, it is essential for the patient to rest for a while and walk with support when he stands up or gets out of bed to meet his needs. In cases such as the fall of the patient, the treated area may be damaged. Although the recovery process is a fast operation, it will be necessary to be careful in the first month after the operation. You can reduce pain and swelling, especially by applying cold to the operated area.
