title: The droopy nasal tip.
abstract: Nasal tip drooping following primary rhinoplasty often results secondary to disruption of nasal tip support. Predictable correction of this problem requires restoration of support within the destabilized nasal tip. This article highlights the use of structural augmentation and precise suture stabilization methods via the open rhinoplasty approach for repairing the postrhinoplasty droopy nasal tip.
