Tip rhinoplasty, also known as nasal tip surgery, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that reshapes the nasal tip. This procedure involves altering the size, shape, or projection of the nasal tip. Depending on your nose condition, a tip rhinoplasty may reduce excess tissue or lift the nasal tip.
The How and Why
A tip rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that reshapes the nasal tip. It involves modifying the cartilage and tissue of the lower lateral nasal cartilage to change the appearance of the nose. The procedure can address concerns such as a wide or prominent nasal tip, asymmetrical nasal tip shape or position, and downward displacement of the nasal tip (nasal tip ptosis).
During a tip rhinoplasty procedure, Dr Turner employs a W-incision technique in the columella, which is the small bridge between the nostrils. This incision is also extended into the nostrils. The purpose of this incision is to provide access to the lower cartilage of the nose, which can be reshaped or repositioned as needed.
The incision starts inside the nostril and continues over the columella – the tissue that separates the nostrils at the base of the nose.
This involves creating all the incisions inside the nostril and is used for minor to moderate nasal reshaping.
Who is
Dr Scott Turner has spent several years acquiring the qualifications, education, training, and hands-on surgical experience to perform cosmetic plastic surgery. Dr Scott J Turner has a specialty interest in aesthetic surgery of the Face, Nose, and Breast.
Achieving this requires not only an in-depth knowledge of human anatomy and refined surgical techniques but also an ongoing commitment to learning the latest advancements and techniques.

While an in-depth consultation with Dr Turner is necessary to determine eligibility, some general considerations for a suitable candidate may include:
It is important to note that the suitability for a tip rhinoplasty can be determined through an in-person consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon. Dr Turner will assess your individual concerns, evaluate your nasal anatomy, and discuss your expectations.
Recovery after tip rhinoplasty varies from patient to patient. After the procedure, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort around the nasal area. Dr Turner will provide specific post-operative instructions to help you manage these symptoms.
In the first week following the surgery, it is common to experience swelling and bruising, which gradually decreases over time. You may need to wear a splint or cast on your nose for the first week to protect and support the newly reshaped tip. Avoid any activities or movements that could potentially impact the healing process, such as strenuous exercise or contact sports.
During the recovery period, it is essential to keep your head elevated while sleeping and to avoid any pressure or trauma to the nose. Dr Turner may prescribe pain medications to help manage any discomfort.
You can return to your daily activities within one to two weeks, although strenuous activities and exercise should be avoided for a few weeks. It is crucial to follow all post-operative care instructions provided by Dr Turner and attend follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.
Keep in mind that individual recovery experiences can vary. It is important to consult with Dr Turner and our nursing staff for personalised advice and guidance throughout your recovery period.
