• The nasal tip procedure is the most sophisticated aspect of a rhinoplasty, particularly in certain known problem types of nasal tips. A new approach, using Supramid tip implants, is introduced. Precise guidelines for the preoperative planning and operative techniques are developed, and the so-called pocket, experience, positioning, shape and size, and incision (PEPSI) rule is outlined. A comparative discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of the Supramid implant vs cartilage grafts and/or repositioning of alar cartilages is presented. The Supramid implant was used in the tip area for nasal tip alteration in a total of 98 cases. Patients were monitored for a period of six months to four years. The results were satisfactory.
