Reshaping of the Broad and Bulbous Nasal Tip

摘要

This article presents a contemporary overview of tip suturing and tip structural grafting techniques used to refine the wide nasal tip. Previous reductive techniques have proved to produce unnatural results over time. It is imperative to correctly evaluate the nose and assess all possible pitfalls during the preoperative period before outlining a surgical plan. Intraoperatively, an algorithmic approach helps obtain a reproducible and refined yet properly narrowed domal tip region with graceful contours that extend laterally to the alar lobule with proper shadowing.
