Fixing An Under Projected Tip

An under-projected nose refers to a nasal tip that doesn't stick out enough from the face. This results in a flattened appearance to the nose. This inadequate projection can result from an injury or prior surgery that destabilizes the tip support or it can just be how the nose developed. Rhinoplasty surgery can be used to reposition the tip in a more projected manner. This normally involves cartilage grafting to provide the necessary support to maintain the improved tip position.
