Vertical dome division in nasal tip surgery allows for repositioning of tissue with minimal excision. In difficult situations, these techniques will often enable the surgeon to maintain good tip position and appearance without the use of grafts. It is a technique worth the attention and understanding of the conservative rhinoplasty surgeon.
