Can Boxy Tip Nose Rhinoplasty Restore Balance to the Face?

A boxy tip nose is a nasal shape that, when viewed from the base, instead of forming an equilateral triangle, forms a boxy, squared-off shape. It makes the lower third part of the nose look larger than the upper portion, creating an uneven appearance. 

Boxy tip nose rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that fixes this deformity of the nose. It refines the nose, making it balanced, sharp, and proportionate to your overall face. Let’s learn more about the rhinoplasty for a boxy nose tip, duration, cost, and the procedure of this surgery.

What’s a Boxy Tip nose?

A boxy nose tip is when your nose tip looks like a square instead of being rounded or pointed. When viewed from the bottom, it creates a square shape instead of a triangular one, which is the normal shape of the nose tip.

When it happens, the lower part of the nasal tip looks way wider and larger than the upper part, which makes the nose look unbalanced and disproportionate to the face. It’s usually easily noticeable, and hence, it makes people too cautious about their appearance and also affects their self-esteem negatively.

The main cause of the boxy tip nose is overly separated and wide lower lateral cartilages in the nose.

Boxy Tip Nose Rhinoplasty And The Procedure

Boxy tip nose rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that focuses on fixing the boxy tip and getting it back to its normal, triangular, and rounded shape. The surgeons in this procedure reshape the nose tip by trimming the extra parts of the lateral cartilage in the nose to reduce the width of the tip.

They also remove the extra tissue between the tip cartilages to narrow the tip using specialised techniques. The stitches or sutures are made inside the nose to bring the tip cartilages closer, creating a well-defined, sharp, and rounded nose tip.

The best thing about rhinoplasty for a boxy tip nose is that it also improves the overall health of the nose and fixes breathing issues, especially when you want this benefit as well.

Duration

The time boxy tip nose rhinoplasty takes depends on the complexity of the deformity. It usually takes around 1.4 hours. It involves reshaping the cartilage of the nose, making adjustments to the tip and the symmetry, which takes time.

Recovery of Boxy Tip Nose Job

After the nose job, you encounter swelling and bruising, which are normal and subside over time. The noticeable changes that you see in your nose are within the first weeks, as well as the reduction in the inflammation and the bruising. 

The final results take several months to appear and sometimes up to a year. But the healing of the nose is usually done in the first weeks or months, and you’re ready to do your work regularly.
