Refine the Nasal Tip With Precision and Natural Balance

Tip plasty (tiplasty) focuses specifically on enhancing the shape, definition, and projection of the nasal tip. At UE Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, our female board-certified rhinoplasty specialist delivers subtle, elegant refinement—preserving natural facial harmony without over-rotation or an “operated” look.

Why Patients Choose Tip Plasty

• Refine a bulbous or wide nasal tip
• Improve tip projection or definition
• Correct drooping or downward-pointing tip
• Fix asymmetry or irregular cartilage shape
• Achieve a more elegant, defined nasal contour
• Enhance profile without changing the entire nose

Tip-focused surgery is ideal for patients happy with their bridge but looking to improve the tip area.

Personalized Tip Refinement Planning

We evaluate:

• Tip cartilage strength and thickness
• Skin thickness and texture
• Nasal angle and tip rotation
• Nostril symmetry and base width
• Relationship to lips, chin, and midface

Our planning emphasizes stability and delicate contour—not excessive lift.

Techniques We May Use

• Cartilage Repositioning & Shaping for natural contour
• Suture Techniques to refine, narrow, and stabilize
• Shield/Onlay Grafts for subtle projection and definition
• Columellar/Septal Extension Graft for stable lift and anti-droop support
• Cephalic Trim (Conservative) to refine bulbous tip (when appropriate)
• Soft-Tissue Contouring for smooth, elegant lines
• Alar Base Balancing only if needed for nostril harmony

Structure and airflow are always preserved.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

• Bulbous or boxy nasal tip
• Droopy or downturned tip when smiling
• Mild asymmetry or cartilage irregularities
• Happy with bridge height and shape
• Realistic expectations and good health

This procedure can be done alone or combined with other nose surgeries.

What to Expect on Surgery Day

• Anesthesia: Local sedation or general, depending on plan
• Time: ~1–2.5 hours
• Approach: Closed for subtle contouring; open for complex shaping
• After: External splint ~5–7 days if combined with bridge work

Same-day discharge in most cases.

Recovery & Aftercare

• Swelling/subtle tip stiffness: 1–2 weeks
• Residual refinement continues over months
• Avoid heavy exercise and nose pressure 2–3 weeks
• Sleep elevated for first few nights
• Follow-up visits for scar care and shape monitoring (if open approach used)

Final tip definition: 6–12 months, depending on skin thickness.

Results You Can Expect

• More refined, balanced nasal tip
• Softer, more elegant nasal contour
• Natural rotation and projection—not over-lifted
• Improved symmetry and definition
• A nose that still looks like you, only more polished

Combining Procedures for Best Balance

• Alar Base Reduction (if nostrils need balancing)
• Dorsal refinement for overall nose harmony
• Chin filler/implant for profile proportion
• Facial fat grafting for midface soft balance

We will recommend only what enhances natural harmony.
