Tip plasty is done to reduce the width of the nose slightly, to refine the nose tip and to give the nose tip a sharper point. There are several methods which vary depending on the severity of the case. For simple cases, the nose tip is adjusted via tying. For more difficult cases, the nose tip is tied internally and cartilage is grafted to the nose tip. This cartilage can come from the septum or the ear if needed. For complex cases, a strut has to be created from cartilage to support the tip.
