Tip plasty, or tip rhinoplasty, is a highly specialised surgical procedure focused on reshaping the lower third of the nose without necessitating alterations to the bony nasal bridge. This procedure is ideal for patients seeking to correct a bulbous, drooping, or over-projected tip to achieve more refined facial proportions.
Unlike traditional reductive surgery, our approach utilises advanced cartilage grafting and tension-free suturing to ensure the result is stable, natural, and harmonious with your individual anatomy. At Berkeley Square Medical, we prioritise structural support to ensure that your refined profile remains consistent throughout the 12-month healing process and beyond.
Mr Taimur Shoaib's nasal-tip technique is documented in the peer-reviewed European Journal of Plastic Surgery and forms part of his published rhinoplasty research.

Tip rhinoplasty pricing is set out in full in our rhinoplasty cost guide.
By prioritising these anatomical markers, we ensure the final result is a natural extension of the patient's existing features. Furthermore, tip refinement is designed to preserve or enhance respiratory health. During your clinical assessment, Mr. Shoaib will evaluate your nasal airway to ensure that all aesthetic adjustments maintain optimal breathing function.
Refined Tip Definition: Achieving harmony through natural balance and symmetry.
Achieving a successful result in tip rhinoplasty relies on the preservation of the nasal framework. Unlike standard reductive techniques, our specialist approach focuses on structural reinforcement to ensure the nasal tip remains stable as the skin heals and contracts over the new framework. The final result is a high-definition profile that integrates seamlessly with your natural facial features.
A successful surgical outcome begins with a comprehensive anatomical evaluation. At Berkeley Square Medical, our consultation process assesses the unique relationship between your nasal cartilage structure, skin thickness, and facial proportions to ensure a safe and predictable surgical result.
Tip Plasty Surgery is a highly personalised procedure. During your initial consultation with Mr Taimur Shoaib, a comprehensive clinical evaluation of your nasal anatomy, skin quality and breathing function is performed to determine whether surgery is the safest and most effective option for you.
Tip rhinoplasty is performed under general anaesthetic, so recovery follows a similar pattern to a full rhinoplasty, with the tip among the last areas to settle because it holds swelling longer than the bony bridge.
Healing varies between individuals. The risks and what to expect are discussed in full at your consultation.
Tip rhinoplasty reshapes only the lower third of the nose, the tip, and leaves the bony bridge unchanged with no bone work (osteotomy). It suits people who are happy with their bridge but want the tip refined. A full rhinoplasty addresses the bridge and tip together. Mr Shoaib advises which is appropriate for you at your consultation. See our rhinoplasty page for the full procedure.

It focuses exclusively on the lower third of the nose (the tip) without altering the nasal bridge bone. This typically results in a faster initial recovery and avoids "breaking" the nose.
Yes. By using internal sutures and cartilage reshaping rather than just removing tissue, we provide long-lasting, stable refinement to a rounded tip.
Yes. While often discussed in profile, tip plasty is highly effective at improving symmetry and narrowing a wide frontal appearance.
Yes. By using structural support grafts, we can "re-anchor" a drooping tip to a more youthful angle that remains natural even when smiling.
When performed properly, it preserves or improves airflow. We focus on supporting the nasal valves to ensure respiratory health is never compromised for aesthetics.
While initial recovery is quick, the nasal tip holds swelling longer than the bridge. Final high-definition results typically mature between 6 and 12 months.
Tip rhinoplasty can address a bulbous (rounded) tip, a boxy or wide tip, a droopy or plunging tip, an over-projected tip that sticks out too far, and an asymmetric or bifid tip. Mr Shoaib reshapes the lower nasal cartilages and adds support where needed, with the aim of a refined, natural-looking tip in balance with the rest of your nose. Suitability and the likely degree of refinement depend on your individual nose, skin thickness and anatomy, which Mr Shoaib assesses at your consultation.
Early swelling can make the tip look fuller or slightly raised at first, and this settles over the following months. Because the tip holds swelling longer than the bony bridge, it can be one of the last areas to fully settle. Cartilage support techniques are used to help the refined tip stay stable as it heals, with swelling usually fully settled by around twelve months. As with any rhinoplasty, the final result varies between individuals and a small number of patients need further adjustment. The risks and what to expect are discussed in full at your consultation.
We perform tip rhinoplasty under general anaesthetic, with the same theatre time and surgical team as a full rhinoplasty. The work is concentrated on the nasal tip, but the surgical setup is the same, which is why the fixed fee is £7,950 rather than a lower figure, and only modestly below a full rhinoplasty. A tip procedure can be carried out under local anaesthetic for a lower cost elsewhere; we choose general anaesthetic for your comfort and safety.
