Tip plasty is a surgical procedure focused on modifying the nasal tip. It may be considered to address concerns related specifically to the shape, position, or support of the nasal tip. These concerns may be aesthetic, functional, or a combination of both.

The procedure involves adjustment of the nasal tip cartilage without altering other nasal structures such as the nasal bridge, which is primarily bony. By limiting surgery to the tip, changes can be localised to this area where clinically appropriate.

The nasal tip plays an important role in overall nasal appearance and facial balance. As such, surgical planning requires careful assessment of nasal anatomy and proportion.

Dr William Mooney has developed specific surgical approaches to nasal tip modification based on his clinical experience. The suitability of tip plasty and the surgical technique used are determined following a comprehensive consultation and assessment.

As with all surgical procedures, outcomes vary between individuals and a detailed discussion of risks, limitations, and alternative treatment options is essential prior to proceeding.
