Implant-Free Tip Rhinoplasty
A 30s female with a droopy, long nasal tip sought an implant-free rhinoplasty. The surgery involved septal extension graft to create a natural, refined, and upturned tip, correcting the long nose and nasolabial angle.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 30s
# Droopy and long nasal tip
* Consultation
1. Her main dissatisfaction was that her nasal tip did not extend sharply but rather drooped.
2. Given her slightly aquiline nose, which meant her bridge wasn't low, we planned an implant-free surgery.
* Plan
1. Nasal Bridge Augmentation
- Implant-free
2. Nasal Tip Augmentation
- Septal extension graft
- Correction of long nose and nasolabial angle
* Post-operative Progress
1. The post-operative result achieved a natural yet sharply defined nasal tip.
2. The correction of the long nose and nasolabial angle resulted in a feminine and sophisticated nose, which was very satisfying.
3. When the nasal bridge is sufficiently high, a natural nose line can be created without using implants.
Consultation and surgery should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
