Frequently asked questions
Can the nose be lengthened and heightened a lot at once?
Even after bringing the tip cartilage down, adding too much height leaves no skin to spare and the tip is pulled up and looks upturned again, so height must stay within what the skin allows.
What material is used?
Septal or ear cartilage is standard; when cartilage is insufficient or too weak, autologous or donor rib cartilage may be added for support.
