In patients with nasal tip ptosis due to senile elastosis, both the soft tissue envelope and underlying cartilaginous framework must be properly addressed to achieve satisfactory results. The rhinolift, when performed on properly selected patients, is one the most rewarding procedures in any facial plastic surgeon’s armamentarium. The procedure is simple to master, expeditious, and has little morbidity.
