Bulbous nose tip surgery in Turkey, Prices of Istanbul Clinics 2024

When should you consider nose tip surgery?

Nose tip correction or partial rhinoplasty is performed on the soft structures of the tip, namely cartilage, and skin. Bulbous nose surgery can be performed to change these structures without affecting the deep bones.

The shape of the Alar cartilage as well as the relationship with the other adjacent cartilaginous structures can also lead to functional defects (the alterations of the nasal valves) so the correction of the tip can solve aesthetic and functional problems.

There are no particular contraindications, those undergoing nasal tip surgery should understand that the correction only affects the terminal part of the nose. In some cases, this correction may reveal other defects present in the proximal parts. Bulbous nose tip correction can include narrowing the width and changing the shape.

Why opt for ethnic rhinoplasty in Turkey?

The main reason behind choosing this type of non-invasive nose surgery is the disproportion of the volume or the projection of the tip compared to the rest of the nose. Therefore, the search for a more harmonious shape leads the patient to opt for an operation to fix the defects of the tip of the nose.

Bulbous nose tip rhinoplasty is also considered a less invasive operation that can be performed through a closed or open technique. The surgeon will be responsible for choosing the approach that corresponds to the specific needs of his patients according to the deformities of the nasal tip.

Methods used to correct nasal malformations

Changes in the tip of the nose are achieved by modeling the Alar cartilage, removing the excess (width or length),and inserting the cartilage graft to give support and shape to the current structures.

Another important phase is to reduce the protrusion of the nasal tip, which must be brought back according to the new height of the shape of the nose. This is done to avoid any particular type of imperfection that may be the result of a rhinoplasty performed incorrectly.

All changes to the tip of the bulbous nose are achieved by modeling the nasal wings. These help support the structures that give shape to the tip and ensure normal breathing.

In rarer cases, it is necessary to modify the lobules to reduce their excessive lateral protrusion or the nostrils to narrow them or make them less obvious.

When the skin on the tip of the nose is thick and stiff to refine, it is often necessary to rely on special techniques that unite the cartilage and insert the grafts that provide support and definition.

It is necessary to vary the inclination of the tip by raising it and increasing the nasolabial angle to obtain an ideal shape of the nose.

Alternative to nasal tip procedure

In some particular cases, it is possible to use hyaluronic acid fillers or Botox injections to make small changes to the nose tip. These procedures cannot be considered surgery, and they do not offer long-term results because the materials used are reabsorbed by the body. On the other hand, Rhinoplasty with graft may be considered a surgical alternative to nasal tip surgery.

Nose tip Surgery is one of the best minimally invasive procedures that can give you life-lasting results.

Bulbous Nose procedure: What should be done before this intervention?

Nose tip surgery can be performed under local anesthesia in the simplest cases, or under sedation and local anesthesia in the most complex cases. In the first case, no preparation is necessary, while in the second, fasting is crucial before the intervention.

Consultation is a fundamental moment to evaluate the problem, talk with the patients, and understand what are their expectations and what are the real surgical possibilities. It is an essential phase before any surgery and therefore even before the tip plasty. Consultation cannot be replaced by information taken from the internet, forums, or anything else.

Precisely because it is so important, the consultation before the intervention may take a long time and the patients will eventually have clear ideas about the techniques and the possible complications related to partial rhinoplasty. The size and shape of the nose tip will be chosen according to the clinical picture, the patient's requests, and the results that surgery can offer.

Recovery time

Nose tip surgery involves the employment of a small external nasal splint for a few days and the use of small nasal swabs for the first 24 hours.

The recovery time of nose tip surgery is shorter than rhinoplasty since it is a less invasive surgery that does not require nasal bone reshaping. It takes 8 to 10 days for the wounds to heal, and a full year to obtain the final result. Patients may experience less bruising, less swelling, and less discomfort.

The post-surgical period is very important, so you should respect the surgeon's instructions as much as you can.
