Tip Plasty

Refine Your Nasal Tip Without Changing Your Entire Nose
Sometimes, the nasal tip is the only feature patients wish to refine—whether it feels too wide, droopy, bulbous, or undefined. Tip Plasty, or tip rhinoplasty, is a specialized surgical procedure that focuses exclusively on reshaping and refining the tip of the nose, leaving the rest of the nasal structure untouched. At Zeal Plastic Surgery Clinic, Dr. Joe Baroud performs precise tip refinement to enhance nasal harmony without overcorrecting or altering your facial identity.

Tip Plasty is a minimally invasive rhinoplasty technique that focuses only on the cartilage at the nasal tip, without changing the nasal bridge or bones.

  • Tip Plasty is ideal for correcting:

    • Bulbous tip (round or overly wide tip)
    • Droopy tip (pointing downward)
    • Boxy or square-shaped tip
    • Asymmetrical tip cartilage
    • Poor tip definition or projection

  • You may be a good candidate if you:

    • Are concerned only with the shape or definition of the nasal tip
    • Are satisfied with your nasal bridge and overall profile
    • Want a less invasive alternative to full rhinoplasty
    • Are in good health with realistic expectations
