What Is Nasal Septal Extension With Nasal Tip Formation?
Nasal Septal Extension With Nasal Tip Formation is a surgical technique used to reshape and lengthen the nose, especially effective for individuals with short noses or weak tip support. This procedure involves grafting cartilage (from the septum or rib) to extend the caudal septum, which strengthens the foundation of the nasal tip; followed by a nose prosthesis to further enhance the overall shape and projection.
By combining a septal extension graft and a prosthesis, this method provides greater control over the nasal tip’s projection, rotation, and height, offering both structural stability and refined aesthetic results. It is especially useful for achieving a longer, more defined nose while maintaining natural movement and balance.
How It Works
Nasal Septal Extension With Nasal Tip Formation involves using a nose prosthesis with grafting cartilage – typically harvested from the septum, rib, or ear – onto the caudal septum to extend and support the nasal tip. The graft is placed into the interdomal space and secured to the lower lateral cartilages, allowing for structured shaping and tip control. Depending on the nasal anatomy, the graft may be applied to one or both sides to provide symmetrical support.
After the cartilage framework is secured, a nose prosthesis, usually made of silicone, is used to shape and define the external appearance of the nose. This prosthesis is customized and positioned to align with the underlying graft structure. Wide-field endonasal dissection is typically used to gain access and manipulate the nasal framework during the procedure.
Nasal Septal Extension With Nasal Tip Formation Procedure

3. Local anesthesia will be administered to the treatment area.
4. Cartilage will be harvested for septal extension graft.
5. A septal extension graft will be attached and secured to the caudal septum.
6. A nose prosthesis will be placed.
7. Incisions will be closed and dressing will be applied.
8. Post-care instructions will be provided by the doctor.

FAQ
Q1: How long is the recovery period after Nasal Septal Extension With Nasal Tip Formation?
A1: Initial recovery takes about 1 to 2 weeks. Full swelling reduction and final results may take several months.
Q2: Will there be visible scarring?
A2: Incisions are typically made inside the nose, so scarring is minimal and generally not visible.
Q3: Can cartilage from other parts of the body be used?
A3: Yes. If septal cartilage is insufficient, rib or ear cartilage may be used as an alternative.
Q4: Will the nose prosthesis need to be replaced?
A4: Not usually, unless complications occur or aesthetic preferences change over time.
Q5: Can I wear glasses after the procedure?
A5: Yes, but you may need to avoid resting glasses directly on the nose for a few weeks after surgery to prevent pressure on the healing area.
