title: [Tip sutures].
abstract: Suture techniques are widely used and can be very useful and efficient to support the nasal tip and correct its deformities. Nevertheless, they are so powerful that they have to be performed very precisely if the surgeon does not want to create cosmetics as well as functional problems. The authors describe the main tip sutures and their effects, expected or not.
