Pinched Tip
A pinched tip refers to a nasal tip that appears overly narrow or squeezed, often resulting in an unnatural or aesthetically unpleasing appearance. This can occur naturally or when too much cartilage is removed during rhinoplasty, leading to inadequate support and collapse of the nasal tip.
Fix-It
Cartilage Grafting
Adding spreader grafts or lateral crural strut grafts, modified alar batten grafts, or lower lateral crural strut grafts, provide structural support and widen the nasal tip.
Reconstruction
Sometimes, revision rhinoplasty is necessary to reconstruct and reshape the nasal tip using the patient's own tissue or cartilage.
Others
Soft tissue spacer grafts can be inserted between the domes of the lower lateral cartilages to widen the nose and reduce the pinched appearance.
