Tip Plastic
Tip plasty is a plastic surgery procedure to correct the shape and size of the tip of the nose. Unlike rhinoplasty, it focuses only on the nose tip area. This surgery improves the width, height and angle of the tip of the nose. It can be performed under local or general anesthesia. As a result, the nose gains a more balanced and aesthetic appearance, harmonizing with facial contours.

In our practice, we can correct the shape and appearance of your nasal tip with rhinoplasty (Tip Plasty) surgery. With our expert team and modern technologies, we work diligently to meet your aesthetic and functional expectations. Tip Plasty surgery offers an effective solution for reshaping the tip of your nose.
First, you will have a detailed consultation with Dr. Emrah Emre. Here, your expectations and nasal structure are evaluated before surgery. Your health condition is examined and it is determined whether you are suitable for surgery. The Tip Plasty procedure is planned in detail with the surgery plan prepared specifically for you.
The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia. The cartilages at the tip of the nose are shaped to achieve the desired appearance. Postoperative stitches are removed within 1 week and your healing process is closely monitored by our doctors. Necessary treatments are applied for swelling and bruises that may occur in the first weeks, so that your healing process is comfortable.
There are several important reasons why you should choose our clinic. We offer you the best service with our experienced surgeon, modern technologies and personalized approach. With our post-operative support and regular check-ups, we comfort you and support you every step of the way during your recovery.
Tip plasty at a glance
Tip plasty is an operation that reshapes only the tip of the nose without touching the nasal bones. It suits a tip that is droopy, wide, round or asymmetric, or that drops when you smile. Dr. İsmet Emrah Emre performs it at partner hospitals, usually under general anaesthesia, using piezo technique; it takes 30–60 minutes. Because no bone is broken, swelling is less than after rhinoplasty, bruising is minimal or absent, and most people return to work in 3–5 days. It is the procedure patients ask the clinic about most.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between tip plasty and rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty addresses the whole nose, bone and cartilage; tip plasty works only on the tip and leaves the bone alone, so surgery is shorter with less swelling and bruising.
Who is a good candidate?
People who are happy with the bridge of their nose but want to change a droopy, wide or poorly defined tip.
Will the tip drop again over time?
Not when the correct technique is used; the result is permanent.
Does it affect breathing?
Usually not, and in some cases it can improve it.
How soon can I go back to work?
Usually within 3–5 days. Wait 2–3 weeks before strenuous exercise.
How long should I stay in Istanbul?
Stitches are removed on day 7, so plan for about a week.
The initial consultation is free of charge. Patients living outside Istanbul or abroad can have it online via Zoom. Fees depend on the scope of the procedure and the partner hospital; a personal quote is given after the consultation and is fixed once a surgery date is booked.
