Do you have a broad, deviated or drooping nose tip? Rhinoplasty is the ideal solution for correcting these «defects».
The main characteristics of patients wishing to modify their nose tip are :
- A excess cartilage which results in excessive projection of the tip (hyperprojected nose); ;
- A drooping nose tip, which may fall more when the patient smiles; ;
- Some upturned nostrils, or too flared, revealing the columella; ;
- A asymmetrical nose tip.
Since there are several features considered defects, the plastic surgeon has several methods for correcting the tip of the nose.
Regardless of the technique used, a aesthetic nose surgery takes place under general anesthesia. Doctor Djian, plastic surgeon in Paris, the closed rhinoplasty. The operation takes place at’inside nose. There is no visible scar.
To raise the tip of the nose, it is not necessary to work on the’nose bone.
The nose tip surgery peut être pratiquée aussi bien chez l’homme que chez la femme. (Consultez notre article sur la rhinoplasty for men.) Elle relèvera la pointe de façon harmonieuse et esthétique. Elle permet aussi de project the tip of the nose to give a «trumpet nose» effect, if the patient so desires.
For an overview of the results obtained after this type of procedure, consult the before and after rhinoplasty photos by the Dr Djian. They present a variety of cases, both male and female, illustrating both medical and surgical rhinoplasties.
There are several ways to correct a wide nasal tip. The surgical technique will depend on the patient's needs and problems.
Rhinoplasty techniques to reduce the width of the tip of the nose:
It is also possible to combine this procedure with resection of the wings of the nose, to refine the nose on the sides.
Deviated tip treatment corrects each element responsible for the deviation.
In general, several gestures are associated:
Removing a drooping tip is a delicate operation. The aim here is to obtain a final result without raising the tip too much.
The technique can combine different gestures:
Il est possible d’associer des gestes de correction du nose too long (hyperprojected nose) to the treatment of drooping tip, or the treating a bump.
En ce qui concerne la pointe tombante associée au sourire ou à la parole, il existe un geste supplémentaire. L’effet de pointe tombante lié au sourire ou à la parole est dû à l’hyperactivité du muscle depressor septi nasi.
The operation consists in dislodging this muscle from its high bony attachment (anterior nasal spine), without cutting it. An operation without nose surgery is also possible (see end of article).
The immediate aftermath is as follows not too restrictive.
The patient does not feel no real pain after the operation. Doctor Djian does not use no wicks.
For the first few days, it is advisable to rest as much as possible and to’avoid violent exertion. It is possible that a edema appears, However, bruising under the eyes is rare, as there is no surgical intervention on the bone.
After 5 to 7 days, a inspection appointment is scheduled, during which the nose protection splint and sutures are removed. A return to normal social and professional life is possible 7 to 15 days after the operation.
During 1 month, it will be necessary to proceed to a regular cleaning of the nasal cavities.
Si la pointe du nez d’un patient tombe lorsqu’il parle ou sourit, il est possible de up the nose tip without plastic surgery.
L’affaissement de la pointe du nez lors du sourire ou de la parole est dû à l’action du muscle “depressor nasi septi”. Ce muscle est situé au niveau de la columelle et attire la pointe du nez vers le bas lorsqu’il se contracte.
This effect can be corrected with botulinum toxin, more commonly known as «Botox».
Botox injections réduisent l’action du muscle “depressor nasi septi” par une simple injection et empêchent l’abaissement de la pointe.
The injection technique is simple. A single injection point is defined within the muscle. It is usually located at the base of the nose, above the upper lip.
For a final result optimal, the plastic surgeon goes :
Botox injection provides a solution fast and effective, without surgery.
This treatment is particularly indicated for minor drooping and tip lift. Generally speaking, the best treatment for wind up the tip remains conventional surgical rhinoplasty.

This price includes doctor's fees, operating room fees, hospitalization fees and anesthetist's fees. It does not include the initial consultation, the consultation with the anaesthetist or post-operative medication.
The rhinoplasty is an intervention by aesthetic plastic surgery. It is therefore not covered by Social Security.

We look forward to hearing from you.
