Tip Rhinoplasty Sydney

A Bulbous nose tip, or a round, overly large nasal tip, is one of the reasons you may want to consider a tip rhinoplasty or tipoplasty.

What Is Tip Rhinoplasty?

Tip rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes or moves the nasal tip cartilage (lower lateral nasal cartilage) for a smaller, streamlined and elegant looking nose. If you are concerned with your nose tip and wonder what a perfect nose might look like, this procedure could help. Tip rhinoplasty or a mini nose job is a surgical procedure with high satisfaction rates that reduces the width of your nasal tip and gives it a more model-like projection.

Am I A Good Candidate For Mini Nose Job?

To be a good candidate for a mini nose job, you should:

Have an enlarged nasal tip as a result of:
Thick nose skin
Large nose cartilage
Normal size nose cartilage that is positioned in a wrong way
Trauma to the nose
A rhinoplasty procedure that gave bad results
Have a droopy nose tip
Have a bulbous nose tip that you would like to have narrowed
Have asymmetrical nostrils, especially as a result of trauma, injury or hereditary factors
Have an undesirable curvature or malpositioning of the tip
Would like more nose projection
Have realistic expectations of what plastic surgery can do for you
Be fit, healthy and not a smoker
If you fall into one or more of these categories, you may be the right candidate for the mini nose job procedure. Schedule your initial consultation with Dr Scott Turner and let him assess your nose and suggest the best nose surgery for your desired results.

What Are The Benefits Of Mini Nose Job ?

A mini nose job procedure, also known as a tipoplasty procedure, reshapes the tip of the nose. Tip rhinoplasty is a great way to reduce the tip of the nose, narrow the nostrils, and elevate the tip for more projection. This procedure reshapes the nasal tip and gives it a more contoured, balanced appearance. It moves the focal point of your face towards the eyes and compliments your facial contours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions about Tip Rhinoplasty Surgery

What is the perfect nose?

The perfect nose is whichever nose shape and size suit your face the best. Generally, a nose should be long, narrow, and have no curvatures, a droopy nose tip, or a bulbous tip. A small nose job or a bulbous nose reduction procedure is a commonplace surgical procedure that reshapes your nose for a well-balanced face and more satisfaction with the way your nose looks.

Can you fix a bulbous nose tip?

Yes, you can fix a bulbous nose tip by a bulbous tip correction. This procedure reshapes the cartilages of your nose for a better defined nasal tip with greater nasal projection. You may ask your surgeon about a ‘mini nose job’ or a ‘mini rhinoplasty’ if you would like to have a better-contoured nose tip.

What is a mini rhinoplasty?

Unlike a full rhinoplasty, a mini rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes only the tip of your nose. In this procedure, Dr Scott Turner will make a small incision on your columella and the inside of your nostrils and reshape the lower nasal cartilages.

What is a small nose job?

A small nose job or a mini rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the tip of the nose only. It is commonly used to narrow a wide nasal tip and reduce any nostril asymmetry that you may experience.

What is tip plasty?

Tip plasty or tipoplasty is a surgical procedure that narrows a wide nasal tip. It corrects nostril asymmetry, wide nostrils and a bulbous nose. If you are concerned with how your nasal tip looks or think a differently shaped nose tip may suit your face better, contact Dr Scott Turner and get a professional opinion.

Is tip plasty easier than rhinoplasty?

Yes, a tip plasty is an easier surgical procedure than a rhinoplasty. In tip plasty, Dr Turner, your specialist plastic surgeon, does not touch the nasal bones or the upper nasal cartilages. This results in less bruising and swelling and a shorter recovery time. A tip plasty procedure generally takes up to 45 minutes, while a full rhinoplasty can take anywhere between 3-4 hours, depending on what needs to be done.

Does tip plasty last forever?

Yes, a tip plasty lasts forever. The tissues that your surgeon, Dr Scott Turner, operated on cannot grow back. However, serious trauma to the nose tip, a repeated tip rhinoplasty by an inexperienced surgeon as well as aging can change the shape of your nose many years after your tip rhinoplasty.

Does a nose job hurt?

You may experience some discomfort after a mini nose job, as the tissues heal and your nose tip gets its desired shape. During the tip plasty procedure, you will be either under local anaesthesia with intravenous sedation or under general anaesthesia. During the recovery period, you will be taking pain relievers to help ease the discomfort.

How long is mini nose job recovery?

A mini nose job surgery is around 45 minutes long. It is a relatively short procedure. Short time under the anaesthetic generally translates to a shorter downtime after the procedure and a faster recovery.

How much is a mini nose job?

Since no two patients are alike, Australia’s mini nose job prices can only be roughly estimated. You should be ready to pay for an experienced plastic surgeon to do the mini nose job procedure on you. Please phone the team for an estimate. Any low prices may signal an underqualified doctor (cosmetic surgeon) or an inexperienced plastic surgeon.
