Abstract

Abstract
Background: Nasal tip surgery is regarded as the most challenging aspect of plastic surgery. Control of nasal tip contour has always been a key component of a successful rhinoplasty. Creating a natural-appearing nasal tip contour is a complex task and requires a 3-dimensional approach.
Aim of Study: In this study we aimed to study and imple-ment the different non-destructive surgical techniques for the management of the various nasal tip deformities.
Patients and Methods: Fifty patients with various tip deformities were operated by an open approach either by sutures, various grafts or both.
Results: Decreased need for irreversible techniques, with a concurrent increase in conservative techniques as sutures and grafts techniques that had been done in most of our patients for each.
Conclusion: We concluded that management of nasal tip deformities with both suture and grafting provides best results.
