Droopy Tip
Transform Your Appearance with Droopy Nasal Tip Rhinoplasty in Los Angeles
A droopy nasal tip can disrupt the harmony of your facial features, drawing attention away from your eyes, lips, and other attractive qualities. Whether viewed from the front or side, a downward-pointing nasal tip can make the nose appear elongated and unbalanced in relation to the rest of your face. Fortunately, rhinoplasty can refine and elevate the nasal tip to create a more symmetrical and harmonious appearance. At Sedgh Facial Plastic Surgery in Los Angeles, Dr. Jacob Sedgh specializes in expertly correcting droopy nasal tips through both surgical and non-surgical methods.
Ptotic Nasal Tip Correction
Droopy or hooked nasal tips can vary from mild to severe. For mild cases, some patients may want to explore non-surgical rhinoplasty, which can use dermal fillers or Botox® injections to reshape the angle of the nose and provide a slight lifting for the nasal tip. For permanent changes to a droopy tip, rhinoplasty procedures are required.
To transform a droopy nasal tip, the nose needs to be shortened slightly and the nasal tip trimmed and raised. The extent of shortening and reshaping depends on the severity of the nasal tip descent. The septum is shortened, and the nasal tip cartilage is sculpted to the desired shape. Cartilage grafting may be needed to lift and support the nasal tip at its higher position.
