Xiamen Meilai Hospital has three ways to improve the nasal tip.
1. Wedge resection at the base of alar to enlarge the tip of nose. If the shape of the tip of the nose is good, only slightly lower, the wedge-shaped full-thickness tissue is removed at the roots of the two alars, so that the nostrils are adducted and the vault is protruded, that is, the tip of the nose is raised.
2. The medial foot of bilateral alar cartilage is close to the tip of nose. Make an incision on the side of bilateral nasal columella to expose the medial foot and alar cartilage vault, remove the soft tissue between the two medial feet, and then make a mattress suture at their upper and lower ends, so that the tip of the nose will be close to the medial foot. This nasal tip elevation method can raise the nasal tip by 2-3 mm.
3. Cartilage transplantation is used for nasal tip enlargement. Incision at the nasal margin or at the inner tip of cartilage is made in nostril to expose alar cartilage and nasal cartilage, and augmentation rhinoplasty is performed to remove the cartilaginous side of alar or the caudal part of nasal cartilage as appropriate. The cartilage cut from the tip of nose in rhinoplasty is cut and shaped, then sutured to the top of the vault to raise the tip of nose, or the cartilage of turbinate can be cut for transplantation.
