Photographs are used to document the deformity and highlight the areas that need to be addressed. In some cases weakness in the tip cartilages will require addition of cartilage grafts to provide structure and support. Tip reconstruction is more complex and may requires an external rhinoplasty approach. This surgery is an outpatient procedure with relatively little risk. Examine the nasal tip for symmetry and contour during recovery and follow-up appointments.
Postoperative symmetry is the greatest concern to both the patient and surgeon.
This procedure requires minimal invasion and should not jeopardize the support of the nasal tip. The most common complications are postoperative tip asymmetry and, rarely, recurrence of the bossa. Excision and shaving or grafting usually correct the problem, after which no further treatment is necessary. On rare occasions, bossa recur. Complications following rhinoplasty.
