What is the desired look for the nasal tip?
Nasal tip shape alterations are indicated to provide highlights to the nasal tip, which involve decreasing tip fullness and/or improving ill-defined tip features associated with obtuse shaped underlying cartilages. Tip defining points represent shine spots at the most projected aspect of the tip which are created by the shadowing/ effects created by outside lighting. Tip defining points are considered aesthetically pleasing when spanning a distance of 4 to 6 mm depending on the over all size of the nose and gender of the patient.
