Tip Plasty

Refined nose tip

Overview

Tip plasty refines a rounded, drooping or under-projected nasal tip, usually with cartilage reshaping and grafting, for a sharper, better-defined tip.

Methods & types

  • Cartilage suturing and repositioning
  • Cartilage grafts for projection
  • Often combined with bridge augmentation

Who it’s for

  • Rounded or bulbous tip
  • Drooping or low tip
  • Poor tip definition

Recovery

  • Splint about 1 week
  • Tip swelling is the slowest to settle
  • Final tip shape over 6–12 months

Approximate cost

USD 2,000–4,500

Ranges are rough estimates and vary widely by clinic, technique and individual case. Always confirm the exact price at consultation.

Considerations

  • Thick skin softens definition and slows results
  • Tip surgery is technically delicate

Common questions

Why does the tip stay swollen longest?

The tip has thicker soft tissue, so its final refined shape can take many months to appear.
