Common methods of nose tip and nose wing reduction surgery:

1. Bringing the inner crus of the alar cartilages closer together: Make incisions on the sides of the columella on both sides to expose the inner crus and dome of the alar cartilages. Then remove the soft tissue between the two inner crus and make a mattress suture near the upper and lower ends. This will bring the two inner crus closer together and reduce the size of the nose tip and alar.

2. Cartilage transplantation: Make an incision in the nasal margin or cartilage inside the nostril, and then remove the caudal part of the nasal cartilage or

The head part of the alar cartilage can be shaped with the cut cartilage or ear cartilage and sewed to the top of the dome to raise the nose tip if the nose tip is too low.

3. Wedge resection of the alar base: It is suitable for cases where the nose tip is in good shape but slightly low. During the operation, a wedge-shaped piece of full-thickness tissue is removed from the base of both alars, thereby retracting the nostrils, protruding the dome, and raising the nose tip. While shrinking the nose tip and alars, the nose tip is raised, making the nose more three-dimensional.
