Tip Plasty
Description
The tip plasty is a specialized cosmetic procedure focused solely on reshaping the nasal tip to improve its appearance or functionality. Initially, the patient is prepared under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity and extent of the surgery. The surgeon makes precise incisions, typically using a closed (endonasal) approach where incisions are made inside the nostrils, or an open (external) approach involving a small incision on the columella, the tissue between the nostrils. Through these incisions, the surgeon gains access to the underlying cartilage and tissues of the nasal tip. Cartilage is then meticulously reshaped, repositioned, or augmented using autologous cartilage grafts (from the patient's own septum, ear, or rib) to achieve the desired projection, rotation, and definition. Once the desired shape is achieved, incisions are carefully closed with sutures that minimize scarring. The nostrils may be temporarily packed with soft material to stabilize the new shape and reduce bleeding. An external splint or tape might be applied to support the tip during the initial healing phase. The procedure typically takes around one to two hours, depending on the complexity. Post-operative care involves instructions on how to manage swelling and bruising, which peaks within the first week and gradually subsides. Patients are usually advised to avoid strenuous activities and protect the nose from trauma as it heals. Follow-up appointments are essential to monitor healing progress and ensure the desired results are achieved.
Ailments treated by this procedure: Bulbous Nasal Tip, Underprojected Nasal Tip, Columella Show, Columella Retraction, Thick Nasal Skin, Overprojected Nasal Tip, Tip Asymmetry, Nasal Tip Under-rotation, Hanging Columella, Low Projection Tip, Nasal Bossae, Droopy Nasal Tip, Thin Columella, and Nasal Tip Ptosis

OM Plastic Surgery
Sinsa Station
Free consultation from the clinic
OM Plastic Surgery in Seocho (near Sinsa Station Line 3, Exit 4) provides comprehensive surgical and non-surgical aesthetic procedures focused on the nose, eyes, face, body contouring, and men’s concerns. Nose (Rhinoplasty) • Autologous Rib Cartilage Rhinoplasty This uses the patient’s own rib cartilage to build or reinforce nasal structure for durable support and shape. It is suited for complex primary cases, weak cartilage, or revision needs. • Revision Rhinoplasty This surgery corrects unsatisfactory outcomes or functional issues after a prior rhinoplasty. It addresses scar tissue, asymmetry, and structural weakness to restore contour and breathing. • Primary Rhinoplasty This reshapes the bridge and tip to improve balance with the face. Techniques include dorsal refinement or augmentation, tip projection/rotation, and cartilage support. • Deviated Nose Septorhinoplasty This straightens a crooked nose and realigns the septum to improve symmetry and airflow. Functional and aesthetic goals are addressed in one operation. • Hump Reduction Rhinoplasty This refines a dorsal hump to create a smoother nasal profile. Cartilage and bone are reshaped while maintaining structural support. • Bulbous Tip Rhinoplasty This narrows and defines a wide, rounded tip using cartilage shaping and suturing. Projection and rotation are adjusted to sharpen tip contour. • Short Nose Correction This lengthens and supports an upturned or retruded nose. Cartilage grafts and soft-tissue techniques restore proportion and tip position. • Droopy Tip/Long Nose Correction This elevates and supports a downward-pointing tip and adjusts overall nasal length. Tip support grafts and septal work refine rotation and projection. • Alar Base Reduction This reduces wide nostrils or flared alar bases through precise wedge or sill excisions. The goal is a natural, narrower base that matches the bridge and tip. Eyes (Eyelid Surgery) • Upper Blepharoplasty (Double Eyelid Surgery) This creates or refines an eyelid crease and removes excess skin or fat. The result opens the eyes and sharpens the eyelid contour. • Lower Blepharoplasty (Under-Eye Fat Repositioning) This smooths under-eye bags by removing or redistributing fat and tightening skin. A more rested lower lid-cheek transition is achieved. • Revision Eyelid Surgery This addresses asymmetry, scar-related issues, or crease irregularities after previous eyelid surgery. The procedure restores a defined, natural-looking fold and eyelid function. • Ptosis Correction This elevates a low or heavy upper eyelid by tightening the levator muscle. It improves visual field and eyelid height while matching crease design. • Canthoplasty (Inner/Outer Corner Surgery) This refines the inner or outer eye corners to widen the eye shape and adjust slant. It is tailored to maintain eyelid stability and a natural canthal angle. Facelift, Neck, and Chin • Facelift (Rhytidectomy) This lifts and tightens sagging skin and SMAS layers of the midface and jawline. It restores definition to the cheeks and reduces jowls. • Neck Lift This tightens platysma bands, removes excess fat/skin, and defines the cervicomental angle. A smoother, firmer neck profile is created. • Thread Lift (Silhouette Soft) This minimally invasive lift uses barbed or cone threads to elevate mild facial laxity. It provides subtle repositioning with short downtime. • Double Chin Liposuction This removes submental fat to sharpen the jawline and neck contour. Small incisions and fine cannulas sculpt the under-chin area. Body Contouring • Liposuction This contours areas such as abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, and back by removing localized fat. It targets shape and proportion rather than body weight. • Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) This removes excess lower abdominal skin/fat and tightens separated muscles. It flattens the abdomen and improves waist definition. • Buttock Augmentation/Lift This enhances buttock shape using fat transfer or lifting techniques to correct ptosis. The goal is rounder projection and a lifted, youthful silhouette. • Calf Reduction This slims bulky calves through selective fat or soft-tissue reduction and contouring. Proportions are improved while preserving natural leg lines. Male Procedures • Male Blepharoplasty This tailors upper or lower eyelid surgery to masculine anatomy, avoiding a feminized crease. Puffiness and excess skin are reduced for a sharper look. • Male Rhinoplasty This refines nasal shape and function while maintaining a strong, masculine profile. Dorsal lines, tip definition, and septal support are individualized. • Gynecomastia Surgery This treats enlarged male breast tissue using liposuction, gland excision, or both. A flatter, firmer chest contour is achieved with hidden or minimal scars. Chin and Jawline • Chin Implant This augments a recessed chin with a biocompatible implant to balance the lower face. It improves jawline projection and neck-chin definition. Fat Grafting and Small Enhancements • Autologous Fat Grafting This harvests fat from one area and transfers it to face or body to restore volume. Common targets include temples, cheeks, nasolabial folds, and buttocks. • Dimpleplasty This creates natural-looking dimples by tethering the dermis to cheek muscle. The depth and placement are customized to the smile pattern. • Forehead Reduction (Hairline Lowering) This advances the hairline to reduce a high forehead. Scalp mobilization and fixation create a shorter forehead height. • Forehead Implant This smooths or rounds a flat or irregular forehead using a customized implant. It enhances contour and harmony with the brow and temples. • Accessory Breast Tissue Removal (Axillary Breast Excision) This removes extra breast tissue in the armpit that bulges or causes discomfort. The contour of the underarm and bra line is refined. • Nipple Correction Surgery This addresses inverted or enlarged nipples and asymmetry. The procedure improves projection and proportion while protecting function.
