Tip Plasty Los Angeles, CA | Dr. Kenneth Kim Plastic Surgery- Partnered with Dream Medical Group

Understanding Tip Plasty in Los Angeles

A sophisticated facial impression is closely associated with the contours from the forehead to the nasal tip. Most Asian patients have thick nasal tip skin and soft tissue, often characterized by weak cartilage support, resulting in a low-sitting or bulbous nose tip.

Ideal Nasal Tip Characteristics

The ideal nasal tip is slightly upturned while maintaining a natural appearance. Tip plasty can effectively correct various nasal tip conditions, including:

• Low-sitting nose
• Largely up-turned ("pig") nose
• Pointy nose
• Bulbous nose

Specialized Surgical Techniques

Dream Medical Group and Dr. Kenneth Kim employ various surgical techniques to address different nasal tip conditions. Each procedure is meticulously planned during a comprehensive consultation to ensure aesthetically ideal and natural-appearing results.

Specific Tip Plasty Corrections

Low-Sitting Nose Correction

For severe low-sitting noses, Dr. Kim may utilize advanced techniques including ear cartilage grafting, MedPor implants, nasal cartilage suturing, and cartilage overlapping to create a strong, beautiful nasal tip support.

Bulbous Nose Transformation

Bulbous nose correction focuses on reducing nasal tip size by removing excess soft tissue. Surgical techniques include cartilage repositioning, MedPor support, and strategic soft tissue removal to achieve a more refined nasal appearance.

Broad and Flared Nasal Tip Refinement

Correction methods involve repositioning nasal tip cartilages, adjusting nostril size, and modifying nose angle. MedPor and ear cartilage grafts may be used to support and enhance the nasal tip structure.

Alar Reduction Techniques

When necessary, alar reduction can be performed to address flared nasal tips. Two primary techniques involve discreet incisions either inside or outside the nose, ensuring minimal visible scarring.

Personalized Approach

Dr. Kenneth Kim's approach emphasizes individualized treatment, recognizing that each patient's nasal anatomy and aesthetic goals are unique.
