The ideal angle between the nose tip and the lips is about 95 to 105 degrees. If this angle is bigger than 110 degrees, the nose tip appears upturned, which reveals too much of the nostrils. If less than 90s degrees, the nose tip looks like it's pointed downward. Nose tip enhancement at Migo creates the ideal angle between the lips and the nostril to create the best matched shape of nose tip for each patient. In this blog post, we want to present to you three different surgical methods for enhancing the nose tip.
Nose Tip Cartilage Redistribution
This method relocates the nose tip cartilage to adjust the angle between the nose tip and the lips. The shape of the nose tip is controlled by a special suturing method without grafting cartilage from other parts of the body.
Autologous Cartilage Graft
This method is used when the desired effect cannot be achieved by relocating the nose tip cartilage. Autologous cartilage from the nose, ear, and rib are used.
Combining Nose Tip Enhancement with Nose Bridge Enhancement
If the patient wants to enhance the nose bridge along with nose tip enhancement, both procedures can be combined to raise the nose bridge, and enhance the shape of the nose tip.
