• For lasting beauty and function, the key requirement is to have a strong nasal skeleton. As the reshaping requires removal of tip cartilage in large amounts it may lead to slight deformity of the nose due to weakening of skeletal support.


• Swelling may be present for several days after the surgery, and it may take some time for the good aesthetic results to become evident.
