Nose Tip Correction at Nordesthetics Clinic

Nose Tip Correction (Tip Rhinoplasty) is a specialized procedure aimed at refining the nasal tip's appearance and function. This surgery is often considered a subset of rhinoplasty, focusing specifically on the nasal tip's cartilage to achieve desired aesthetic and functional outcomes.​

Preparation: Prior to surgery, patients should attend a pre-assessment appointment to evaluate their general health and discuss any medications they are taking. It's important to follow specific instructions regarding fasting before the surgery; typically, patients are advised not to eat or drink for 6 hours prior to the procedure if undergoing general anaesthesia. Additionally, arrange for transportation home, as driving immediately after the procedure is not advisable.​

Procedure: Performed under general anaesthesia, the surgeon makes incisions inside the nostrils or across the columella (the tissue between the nostrils) to access the nasal tip cartilage. The procedure involves reshaping or removing portions of the cartilage to refine the tip's appearance and improve nasal function. The surgery typically lasts between 1 to 2 hours, depending on complexity.​

Recovery: Post-surgery, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and nasal congestion. It's advisable to prop your head up with pillows when resting to reduce swelling. Avoid blowing your nose and engaging in strenuous activities for several weeks. Many individuals take up to 2 weeks off work to recover. It might be several months before the full effect of the surgery is visible, with swelling potentially taking up to 6 months to completely subside.
