About this procedure

If you’re happy with the overall shape of your nose but would like to refine the tip, Tip Plasty offers a targeted solution. This procedure focuses on reshaping and enhancing the nasal tip to improve definition, projection, symmetry, and balance. Whether your concern is a bulbous, drooping, wide, or poorly defined tip, tip plasty can create a more refined and elegant appearance while preserving a natural look. The result is a subtle yet impactful enhancement that brings greater harmony to your facial features.

Aria's Guide — Tip Plasty Q&A

Q.

Does the nasal tip feel hard to the touch after tip plasty?

A.

It's normal for the nasal tip to feel firmer than before after tip plasty, especially during the first few months as the tissues heal and swelling gradually subsides. This is because the cartilage and surrounding tissues need time to settle into their new position. As healing progresses, the nasal tip typically becomes softer and feels more natural. While it may not feel exactly the same as it did before surgery, most patients find that the firmness is subtle and not noticeable in everyday life.
