A common concern with which rhinoplasty patients seek Dr. Jaibaji is a wide, ‘bulbous’ or ‘boxy’ tip. This is most often heredity and may be partly a result of a thick nasal skin. Most patients seek refinement of the tip, and this must be carried in such a manner as to maintain the natural appearance of the nose. A tip that is too pointy or small, particularly in proportion to the rest of the nose may result in an unnatural, “operated on” appearance. In order to increase the precision of reshaping and resizing the tip, Dr. Jaibaji uses an open approach rhinoplasty technique. This method facilitates direct visualization of the nasal cartilages. It also increases the predictability of the final surgical result. The open approach also allows for precise suturing of the nasal cartilages to reshape and refine them as well as position them more accurately.
