Intercartilaginous incision
Complete transxion incision
Decreasing nasal tip projection is accomplished by weakening or eliminating the elements that support the tip. Several of these supports are violated with routinely used surgical incisions. A complete transxion incision violates the broelastic connections between the medial crura and caudal septum. is al­lows greater posterior migration of the medial crural footplates toward the an­terior nasal spine. e shorter the medial crura and the less so tissue present that prevents posterior motion, the more the tip will deproject. Placement of an intercartilaginous incision, release of the lateral crura from the upper lateral car­tilages at the scroll area, or cephalic trim of the lower lateral cartilage violates the brous attachments suspending the lateral crura from the upper lateral cartilages and decreases tip support. Additionally, division of the suspensory ligament that spans the domes will weaken tip support.

Cartilage transected and overlapped

Vertical transection with overlap and suture xation of the medial crura may also be performed. is maneuver is employed when the medial crura are elongated and resist posterior movement of the tip. Transection is typically completed mid­way between the tip-dening points and the columellar-lobular angle following vestibular skin undermining. Any folding of the vestibular skin is concealed by the skin of the so tissue triangle.
Decreasing tip projection should follow a graduated approach. Disruption of so tissue support is performed with reassessment of tip position. If greater depro­jection is needed vertical transection of the lateral and/or medial crura with cartilage overlap allows posterior displacement of the tip and may be required.
Deprojecting the nasal tip may produce aring of the alae. In a long, narrow nose this may improve overall nasal aesthetics, but noses with normal or preexist­ing alar aring require assessment and possibly surgical intervention to correct. Flaring results from alar rim skin and lateral crural complex rigidity that resists compression. Treatment for the lateral crural complex, as discussed earlier, is with vertical transection, whereas alar skin excess is treated with alar base excision.
Decreasing tip projection can be accomplished incrementally by elevation of skin envelope, violation of tip-supporting brous attachments, addressing the dorsal septum, and then transection and overlap of lateral and/or medial crura.

Alar aring does not always result from decreasing tip projection. Occasionally, the overprojected nose is associated with the appearance of the alar base being pulled away from the underlying face and skeleton. Such a nding is usually seen in those patients with a class II skeletofacial deformity and a high septal angle producing a tension tip nose. In these patients, lowering the tip allows the base to settle back into the appropriate location and does not exhibit aring on the ala until a point is reached where settling is complete and aring begins.
Bowing of the columella in a downward direction may also occur when the nasal base meets resistance from the maxilla. Such movement can result in increased infratip lobular show and/or increased columellar show. Correction requires transection, overlapping, and suture xation of the medial or middle crura and/ or resection of the membranous columella with a small portion of caudal septum, allowing wound closure and pulling of the columella cephalad.
e relationship between nasal projection and the alar base is crucial to under­stand. In cases where alar base resection is performed due to a wide lower third, tip projection can be eected. To further explain, the absolute tip position is not altered but the alar-cheek junction is advanced toward the tip giving an appear­ance of decreased projection.
Altering Tip Rotation
e tripod concept also applies to altering of tip rotation. Moreover, understand­ing the anatomic structures that support the nasal tip is important as such struc­tures may limit tip rotation.
Factors that resist upward rotation of the nasal tip include the following:
Fibrous attachments connecting the lateral crura to upper lateral cartilage
A cephalic abutment of the lateral crural complex against the piriform aperture
A prominent caudal septum
Lengthy upper lateral cartilages
High septal angle
Skin adherence to the lateral crura, upper lateral cartilages, and nasal bones
Increasing rotation of the nasal tip requires evaluation of each factor that may limit upward rotation. e result of such assessment guides surgical decision­making.

Either placement of an intercartilaginous incision or resection of the cephalic lateral crura eliminates resistance from the brous attachments connecting the lateral crura to upper lateral cartilages. If rotation is desired, a portion of the cephalic margin of the lateral crura is resected. Following resection, the lateral crura are typically free to be moved upward.
High abutment
Low abutment
If the lateral crural complex abuts the piriform in a more cephalic direction, it will prevent upward tip rotation. Elimination of this force is as previously de­scribed, with vertical transection of the cartilage and overlap with suture xation. Placement of a columellar strut is occasionally needed to maintain tip rotation and avoid posterior movement of the medial crura.
If rotation of the tip is still limited aer these maneuvers, the caudal septum should be assessed as it may interfere with upward movement of the medial crura. Loose connective tissue between the medial crura feet and caudal septum typically allow rotational movement. When greater rotation is needed these con­nections may cause tethering and need to be released usually with caudal septal

resection. Elongated upper lateral cartilages are typically addressed during ce­phalic resection of the lateral crura. It is important to reconstruct the dorsum appropriately so that midvault collapse is avoided.
Determining which portion of the septum should be resected depends on the columellar-labial angle.
If the angle is normal then resection should be isolated to the anterior portion of the caudal septum. When the angle is displaced down and out, more cartilage is resected from the posterior caudal septum and adjacent to the anterior nasal spine. is type of problem is seen more commonly in patients with class II skel­etofacial deformities with short upper lips. Resection to any signicant degree of the caudal septum is typically accompanied by similar resection of membra nous septum.

Presence of a high septal angle may resist upward rotation of the nasal tip if the suspensory ligament remains intact. Either lowering of the septal angle or divid ing the suspensory ligament will address this. Skin adherent to the underlying cartilage can also obstruct upward tip rotation. To correct such a problem, the skin should be undermined and redraped aer cartilage movement.

A more challenging problem is derotation of the tip combined with lengthening the nose. is is covered in Chapters  and .
Improving Tip Denition
Decreasing the width between tip-dening points can be best accomplished with interdomal suture placement to closer approximate the domes. method to accomplish this task is through cephalic trim of the lateral and middle crura of the domes. Typically, as the lower lateral cartilages transition from dome to columella, they are so that the caudal margins are separated. Resection of the cephalic margins improves alignment and allows the tip-dening points to shi medially.

Narrowing the angle of divergence and medializing the tip-dening points is ac­complished by tip suture techniques and/or by cephalic trim of the lower lateral cartilages.
Reducing Tip Fullness
Fullness of the nasal tip is seen rather frequently and requires partial carti­lage resection, weakening of the lateral crura, or suture reshaping of the lateral crura. while the remaining caudal segment continues to are, resulting in a bulbous­appearing nose.

Cephalic trim of the lower lateral cartilages will reduce tip fullness
To reduce this caudal lateral crura are, a horizontal mattress suture is placed in the dome area. Angulation of the dome is increased with tightening and tying of the suture. Suture placement is completed bilaterally with one suture being le long and eventually tied to the contralateral suture then tightened to the desired level, acting as an interdomal suture. When fullness is the result of severe lat­eral crura convexity, lateral crural strut gras are the preferred method used to straighten the lateral crura. Lower lateral crural turnover aps may also be used to correct shape while decreasing tip fullness. Both of these techniques are dis­cussed in Chapters  and .
Reducing fullness in the nasal tip is accomplished by cephalic trim of the lower lateral cartilages, suturing of the domes to increase angulation, and by placement of lateral crura strut gras to correct severe convexity and correct crura position.

Creating a Supratip Break
5 to 8 mm
8 to 12 mm
Formation of a supratip break is frequently desired in females. Supratip break exists when the nasal tip is higher than the dorsum. Creation of a supratip break is accomplished through creating tip-dening points with good projection and reducing the dorsum to the desired eect. Long lasting tip support must also be established or the tip will settle and the break will be lost. In some cases, failure to provide adequate support to the nasal tip will result in loss of projection and derotation and a pollybeak deformity. Skin of the supratip region is thicker than the actual tip and this must be accounted for when determining the nal septal height. Placement of the septal angle is usually  to mm lower than the tip­dening points with thin to medium thickness skin, while this may need to be  to mm with thick skin.
Patients with thick skin, which blunts the supratip break or limits tip denition, may require debulking of tip so tissue. Loose connective tissue on the under­surface of the skin envelope may be removed with forceps. Removal should be limited to so tissue loosely attached to avoid dermal injury and external dim­pling. In the case where the musculoaponeurotic layer is thick, this can be care­fully excised, avoiding subdermal defatting, which can lead to scarring and even compromise of the skin circulation. Use of an absorbable suture can be used to at­tach the skin to the cartilage at the supratip and can help to obliterate dead space.
Creating supratip break places the tip-dening points 5 to 12mm above the septal angle; varying on skin thickness dierences between the dorsum and tip.

Improving the Alar-Columellar Relationship
Medial crura aberrations in shape and position disrupt nasal harmony between the columella and alar rims. Correcting this problem usually requires cartilage modication in the shape or position of the medial crura, tissue excision, or car­tilage graing. is is described in detail in Chapter .
SURGICAL APPROACHES TO THE TIP CARTILAGES
Cartilage-Splitting Technique
Intracartilaginous
incision
Transfixion
incision
Use of the intracartilaginous incision is performed when the only modication needed is removal of lateral crura cephalic margins and/or anterior medial crura cephalic margins. e goal is to decrease tip bulbosity in the presence of normal or near normal intercrural distance. Surgical objective is to improve tip deni­tion and create a supratip break.
e incision begins with placement of a double-pronged skin hook inside the alar rim with the medial hook just medial to the nostril apex. e incision is connected to the anterior portion of a partial or complete transxion incision. With the hook used to li the skin, the lateral crus is pressed toward the ves­tibular opening with the fourth nger, forcing the cartilage caudal margin and body into prominence. e surgeon estimates the desired caudal segment width to leave and visually marks that distance from the caudal edge of the cartilage to determine incision placement.
e incision is made medial to lateral beginning at the anterior end of the trans­xion incision. e incision curves upward as the incision moves laterally to remain parallel with the cartilage edge. e incision can be created through the

vestibular skin only with skin elevated o of the cartilage to its junction with the upper lateral cartilage. In this manner, the amount of exposed cartilage can be compared bilaterally to help determine the amount to excise. e cartilage is transected at the same level on each side, with the cephalic segment separated from the overlying so tissue and removed. e initial incision can also be made through both skin and cartilage simultaneously. e disadvantages of this inci­sion are the technical challenges associated with symmetric cartilage harvest and the limited ability to modify remaining cartilage. e disadvantage of this approach is that the cartilages are not directly visualized and the amount of re­maining cartilage can only be assumed.
