A Simplified Approach to Nasal Tip Shaping: The Five-Suture Technique

Techniques for nasal tip shaping have evolved from destructive to nondestructive techniques.

We describe a simple, effective, and reliable five-suture technique to achieve consistent results in tip shaping based on previously described ideals for nasal tip aesthetics.
