Abstract

Summary: Techniques for nasal tip shaping have evolved from destructive to nondestructive techniques. These techniques have proven to be effective, yet they are often applied incrementally and require repeated intraoperative evaluation and manipulation to assess their efficacy. We describe a simple, effective, and reliable five-suture technique to achieve consistent results in tip shaping based on previously described ideals for nasal tip aesthetics.
