Summary: Anatomic subtleties of the nasal tip have a dramatic impact on the overall appearance of the nose. Creation of the ideal nasal tip in rhinoplasty requires straight lower lateral cartilages, everted lateral crura, a higher caudal edge of the lower lateral cartilages relative to the cephalic margin, and a diamond-shaped tip.
