Augmentation rhinoplasty

Augmentation rhinoplasty involves increasing the projection and length of the nasal tip. This procedure is often seen as a key element of some ethnic rhinoplasty surgeries, but it can also be part of operations for all ethnic groups, as well as in follow-up procedures.

Creating a strong and stable support structure for the nose is essential, as the skin tends to push back when stretched. We prefer using rib cartilage as a material for constructing the bridge and tip of the nose. This can be either the patient's own cartilage (autologous) or preserved donor cartilage (allograft).

Depending on the specific features of the nose, a reduction in the width of the nostrils (alar base reduction) might also be included in the procedure.
