General information only

The content of this site is patient education. It describes what produces a full nasal tip, what can and cannot change it, and what treatment costs in recovery and risk. It is not a diagnosis, it is not a treatment recommendation for any individual, and it does not create a doctor-patient relationship.

No substitute for examination

Whether treatment is appropriate for you depends on findings that can only be established by examining you: the shape and strength of your tip cartilages, the thickness and quality of the skin over them, the width of the base of the nose, the height of the bridge, and how the nose relates to the rest of your face. Reading this site cannot substitute for that, and a decision made from a website alone is a decision made without information.

Results vary and are not guaranteed

Individual results differ, and in the nose the thickness of the skin is one reason they differ so much between people. Healing takes months and the appearance continues to settle for longer than most people expect. No surgeon, and no website, can guarantee an outcome, and any statement that appears to promise one should be treated with suspicion wherever you encounter it.

If something is wrong after treatment

If you have had treatment and develop rapidly increasing swelling, a tense painful area, spreading redness, fever, bleeding that does not stop, a change in your breathing, or a loss of vision or severe eye pain, contact the treating team or seek emergency care immediately rather than waiting to be seen at a routine appointment.
