If you like everything about your nose except for the very tip, you may not need to undergo a full rhinoplasty procedure.

Tip Rhinoplasty in Palo Alto and the Surrounding Bay Area

Tip rhinoplasty is designed to address only the areas of concern regarding the nasal tip, which results in a shorter recovery time than a traditional rhinoplasty.

What is tip rhinoplasty?

Tip rhinoplasty is a nose job that focuses specifically on the tip of the nose. In this procedure, the nasal tip is adjusted to achieve a better projection and harmony with the rest of the nose and face. Tip rhinoplasty leaves the bone structure of the nose untouched and uses less invasive surgery techniques, therefore resulting in a less extensive downtime and a shorter recovery period.

What can tip rhinoplasty do?

Lift a drooping nose tip
Rebalance the nostrils
Contour a bulbous or wide tip
Straighten a curve
Reduce nostrils
Correct unsatisfactory results from a previous surgery

Recovery

Most tip rhinoplasty patients can return to work or school in 1 to 2 weeks. Bruising and swelling should be expected, and any discomfort can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Intense physical activity should be limited for at least three weeks, and it is important to keep your head elevated as much as possible, even when sleeping.

Results

It is important for tip rhinoplasty patients to be aware that they will need to be patient when it comes to seeing results. The swelling after any rhinoplasty procedure takes considerable time to subside — anywhere from six months to two years. You will see improvement after a few weeks, but final results come much later.
