Nose Tip Refinement

Tip Plasty in Korea

01 — Overview

Tip Plasty

Tip plasty refines the nose tip — projection, definition and angle — using cartilage, completing the line without necessarily touching the bridge.

The tip defines much of how a nose reads. Tip plasty reshapes a bulbous, drooping, under-projected or poorly defined tip using cartilage grafts, adjusting projection and angle in harmony with the whole face. It can be done alone or combined with bridge work for a full reshape.

02 — Approaches

Approaches we offer

The right approach depends on your structure and goals. At consultation, the surgeon determines which fits your case.

Cartilage Graft Tip — The patient's own septal or ear cartilage refines and supports the tip for lasting definition.
Tip Rotation — Adjusting a drooping tip upward to a more youthful, balanced angle.
Tip Projection — Increasing or refining how far the tip projects for better profile balance.
Combined Reshape — Tip plasty paired with bridge augmentation for a complete change.

How your case is handled

Surgeon-led analysisYour structure, skin and goals are assessed directly by the surgeon — with 3D imaging where helpful.

Function and proportion togetherThe plan considers natural balance and, where relevant, nasal function — not appearance alone.

Surgeon-performed, start to finishThe surgeon who consults you performs your surgery — never delegated.

Natural, lasting resultStability and long-term outcome are planned so the result settles naturally and lasts.

"Every nose is designed, not duplicated. We plan around your face and structure — for a result that looks like you, only refined."

07 — FAQ

Common questions

Can the tip be refined without touching the bridge?

Yes — tip plasty focuses only on the tip, ideal for patients happy with their bridge who want a more defined tip.

What cartilage is used?

Usually your own septal or ear cartilage, which integrates naturally and supports lasting tip definition.

Will it fix a drooping tip?

Yes — tip rotation lifts a drooping tip to a more balanced, youthful angle.

How visible is the scar?

With a closed or limited approach, scarring is minimal and well-concealed. The surgeon explains the approach for your case.
