About Tip Plasty
Tip plasty is a specialized nasal surgery that focuses solely on reshaping the tip of the nose.
Unlike a traditional rhinoplasty that alters the entire nasal structure, our Houston tip plasty procedure refines specific areas of concern, such as a bulbous, drooping, or asymmetrical tip. The goal is to create a balanced, elegant look that harmonizes with your facial features. By adjusting the cartilage of the nasal tip, Dr. Athré uses precise, customized techniques to deliver a natural, polished result.
This procedure is ideal for individuals who are satisfied with their nasal bridge but want to enhance the tip for a more refined profile.

Preparation and Procedure
During your consultation at Athré Facial Plastics, Dr. Athré will take the time to understand your concerns and goals.
He’ll assess your facial features, discuss your options, and design a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your vision. This is your opportunity to ask questions, express your preferences, and gain a clear understanding of what to expect. Dr. Athré believes that empowering his patients with knowledge is key to achieving the best results through tip plasty.
What to Expect During the Tip Plasty Procedure
Tip plasty is performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia with sedation, ensuring a comfortable experience.
Dr. Athré makes a small, carefully placed incision, usually hidden within the nostrils or along the columella. He then sculpts the nasal cartilage to refine the tip of the nose, achieving a more defined and balanced appearance. The procedure typically takes one to two hours, depending on the complexity of the changes required. Dr. Athré’s precise technique ensures minimal disruption to surrounding tissues, helping you recover quickly and comfortably.
