The hidden incisions inside the nose allows Dr. Fechner to gain access to the tip cartilages, aka lower lateral cartilages. because these cartilages are commonly large and bulky, he will trim them a little bit. Dr. Fechner stresses the importance to avoid removing too much of the precious cartilages as they are crucial to maintain support and shape of the nose.
Next, the tip cartilage shape will be changed using internal stitches. The goal of this maneuver is to narrow the tip for a more elegant tip. The sutures are long-lasting but, once healing has secured the new shape of the nose, they will eventually disappear.
Sometimes, small cartilage grafts are used for final touches.
