One of the more commonly requested reasons for a rhinoplasty is a nasal tip that drops when a person smiles. Typically, these patients have a dorsal hump as well as a nasal tip that lacks projection.
To surgically correct this, the nasal dorsum is resected, the caudal septum is resected, and a columellar strut is placed to improve tip projection. To allow the nose to appear more feminine, the nasal tip needs to be elevated so that the columella-labial angle is greater than approximately 100 degrees in the female.
