Abstract
One of the most annoying complications of rhinoplasty is the supra-tip hump (pollybeak). Possible causes are failure to surgically compensate for: 1. The increased skin thickness above the tip. 2. Supra-tip keloid tendency. 3. Overactive depressor septi muscles. 4. Loss of natural tip support by the upper lateral cartilages and septum.Entities:
