Rhinoplasty for a Cleft Nasal Tip
Published on October 28, 2014 by P.C. M.D. David A. HechtA cleft nasal tip, which is also referred to as a bifid tip, is characterized by an indention in the tip of the nose that is often accompanied by a bulbous appearance. It is common for people with this type of nose to consider plastic surgery so that they can improve their physical appearance and enhance their self-esteem. Rhinoplasty provides a viable option for correcting a cleft nasal tip, and it can also be utilized to fix a wide variety of other nose related issues. In fact, rhinoplasty can correct nasal deformities that make it difficult to breathe properly, so it is a good option for your cosmetic and medical needs. These perks helped make rhinoplasty the second most popular plastic surgery in the U.S. in 2013.
How Does Rhinoplasty Fix a Cleft Nasal Tip?
If you currently have a cleft nasal tip, you should consult with an experienced plastic surgeon to determine which options makes the most sense for you. Typically speaking, an open rhinoplasty procedure will be selected so that the surgeon is able to reshape your delicate tip cartilages. Undergoing this procedure will provide you with a much more symmetrical appearance, and you will also be able to avoid the many problems that can
be associated with opting for injectable fillers.
Is Rhinoplasty My Best Option?
Fillers are usually temporary, and they can lead to skin redness and a lumpy nose. Therefore, it definitely makes the most sense to opt for rhinoplasty if you want a permanent and more attractive solution for your cleft nasal tip.
