What is nasal tip drop?

The decrease in the angle between the nose and the lip over time is considered as the loss of nasal tip height, nasal tip drooping. Especially in septum surgery, if the curved cartilage is located close to the tip of the nose and after this area is removed, if the nasal tip support weakens and no precautions are taken, loss of nasal tip height and nasal tip drooping, which decreases the nasal lip angle, is inevitable over time. In such patients, the situation can be prevented with applications that will support the tip of the nose. Sometimes, this angle, which is seen to be higher by the patients in the early postoperative period due to edema, decreases slightly when the edema decreases, and the patient may consider this as nasal tip droop. Since the edema is less in the noses made with closed atraumatic techniques and the nasal tip ligaments are preserved, it does not show a significant change.
The techniques used in rhinoplasty operations are planned to preserve the shape of the nose for many years. After the operations performed by the surgeon with the correct technique, there is no drop in the tip of the nose.
