After healing from primary rhinoplasty, some people experience indentations in the sides of the nose, above the nostril rims. These creases give a narrowed, pointed look to the tip. A pinched nasal tip is embarrassing, but it can be fixed using rhinoplasty.

Some people have a fully pinched nasal tip with creases on both sides, and others have an asymmetrical nasal tip with a crease on only one side. The rhinoplasty solution your plastic surgeon recommends will specifically address this.

These indentations are an indication of cartilage that doesn’t have accurate support, so many times, the only solution to this is adding support grafts. To learn more about support grafts and pinched nasal tip support solutions, create an appointment with our office. Doctor Timothy E. Fee, board-certified plastic surgeon, has years of experience and will answer your questions.
