Abstract

Nasal tip refinement is one of the most difficult aspects of rhinoplasty surgery. In this article, the senior author (R.J.R.) presents his technique for nasal tip analysis and identifies the factors that contribute to nasal tip shape. Various techniques for nasal tip modification using both sutures and soft cartilage grafts are described to help produce optimal results.
