Small touches on the nose - Nose tip aesthetics

By Prof. Dr Ahmet Karacalar

In some noses, the issue is only at the tip, or the person may prefer a simpler tip rhinoplasty instead of a full nose job. Tip rhinoplasty can usually be performed under local anesthesia. In addition to changing the shape of the tip, procedures such as lifting, reducing or shortening the wings can be done during this time. Incorrect angles between the tip and wings can be corrected during the procedure. It does not require a cast or tampon, and the return to social life is quick.

Small touches

   Nowadays, noses that do not appear to have been altered while preserving the individual's unique characteristics are more preferred. The most important reason for this is the need to not look like having had surgery and the fact that people are increasingly resembling each other.

In rhinoplasty Small touches involve procedures related to changing and improving parts of the nose or its harmony with the face. Small touches can sometimes be achieved with an operation, and sometimes without one. The main principle of these procedures is the best analysis of the problem.

For this analysis, studying the computer-aided geometry of the nose and face, and working with nose and face molds and sculptures provide significant advantages. In the analyses conducted, it is also important to reveal the individual's perception and judgment errors and provide education on evaluating their nose and face more realistically and accurately. We often witness that individuals who come with aesthetic concerns about their nose have issues in surrounding structures such as the face, eyebrows, lips, chin, and forehead, but they do not notice these and attribute all responsibility to the nose.

It is possible to correct small issues, imbalances, mismatches, and post-operative defects in the nose using botox and fillers. The permanence of the results can extend from 4 months to 2 years. If satisfied with the result, procedures to make the result more permanent can be performed. Bunny lines on the nose bridge can be corrected with botox, open nasal wings can be narrowed, and if the muscle pulling the tip is active, the tip can be lifted. By filling the root and bridge of the nose with fillers, a smoother structure can be achieved; the nose lip angle can be filled to lift the tip or the tip can be filled to achieve a more elegant tip. Additionally, small irregularities that may occur post-surgery can be camouflaged with fillers. If these irregularities are especially on the nose bridge, this procedure can be easily done. However, it should be remembered that they cannot replace aesthetic surgical operations in noses with issues beyond minor ones. Products used for filling purposes in the nose are generally hyaluronic acid gel and hydroxyapatite. These products are considered physiological and are compatible with the body. Procedures are performed with fine needles after the application of topical anesthetic creams. Apart from slight swelling and redness that subside quickly, they do not cause problems. It is possible to see the effect of the filler immediately after the procedure. The person can follow their image in the mirror and have the opportunity to guide the doctor. However, for the effect of Botox, one must wait a week. For better facial harmony, sometimes treatment of structures adjacent to the nose may be necessary. One of these is the lip. Thin lips make the nose appear larger. Plumping the lips will relatively reduce the size of the nose.
