  • Preserves the minor and major nasal tip support mechanism

  • Doesn’t rely on the shape or integrity of the implant

  • The normal function of the nose should be preserved (olfaction, breathing, air humidification)

  • Enhancement of the normal nasal structures should be emphasized.

MAJOR NASAL TIP SUPPORT
1. Size, shape and resiliency of the lower lateral cartilage
2. Fibrous attachment of the lower lateral cartilage with the upper lateral cartilage
3. Caudal attachment of the medial crus of the LLC with the nasal septum

MINOR NASAL TIP SUPPORT
1. Dorsal Septum
2. Interdomal Ligaments
3. Membranous Septum
4. Antior Nasal Spine
5. Attachment of the LLC to the SSTE
6. Lateral Crural Attachment to the pyriform aperture
