Modifying The Tip Of The Nose Gives The Beverly Hills Rhinoplasty Look
The classic Beverly Hills rhinoplasty look is a natural look. The tip should never look unusual, asymmetrical, pinched, overdone or in any way suggesting that this nose is not the one that the owner was born with.
Now, there are several techniques that each surgeon should have in his toolbox to address the specific problems. The most common problem is the tip is too bulbous or bulky or too plump. Generally, this can be addressed by making the incision on the inside of the nostril along the dome of the cartilage which comprises the major portion of the tip and removing a portion of that cartilage along with the attached lining skin. This will allow, as healing takes place, for the tip of the nose to refine and narrow. As with all aspects of nasal surgery, but particularly in the tip, the process of narrowing, shrinking or tightening towards the ultimate results takes several months. Not that one does not look good in 7 to 10 to 14 days, but one will look better with the passage of time.
For some people with very thick skin and an ultrabulbous tip, it is often necessary to perform a slightly different maneuver. A surgeon executes what is know as the “delivery” technique by which through two parallel incisions within the nostril, the cartilage is actually brought out of the nose. While still attached, it is modified to make it thinner and less spring-like. Then the smaller cartilages are returned back to their bed and the incisions closed. This technique is commonly used if there also has been previous surgery and the surgeon is not certain exactly as to what maneuvers were performed in the original rhinoplasty procedure.
When all incisions are internal and invisible, the technique is called closed rhinoplasty. Some surgeons prefer to approach the tip of the nose using an open rhinoplasty method. The open rhinoplasty involves in addition to the usual incisions inside the nostril, a horizontal incision connecting the two nostril openings halfway between the lip and the tip. Typically this incision heals well wit minimal visibility.
