Achieving a Nasal Tip Lift With a Prolene 3-0 Suture

A nasal tip lift is usually performed surgically by cutting the depressor septi muscle, resecting portions of the medial nasal cartilages in conjunction with solid or liquid implants, or utilizing botulinum toxin type A after paralyzing the depressor septi muscle. The author has devised a simple technique to lift the nasal tip by using a prolene 3-0 suture and local anesthesia. The procedure has minimal or no complications and can be easily repeated or revised.
