What causes nasal tip Bossae?

Nasal tip bossae are most often due to dynamic forces acting on iatrogenic changes and/or weakness in the alar cartilages. By minimizing cartilage excision, reinforcing areas of weakness, avoiding asymmetry and irregularity, and maintaining alar integrity, formation of bossae may be prevented.

What is nasal tip Bossae?

Background: Nasal tip bossae are knoblike protuberances of the alar cartilages that can arise after rhinoplasty. Early bossae are due to uncorrected or inadvertently created asymmetries, while late bossae are due to fibrosis and scar contracture acting on a weakened or unreconstituted cartilaginous framework.

How do you treat bulbous nasal tips?
