Abnormal nasal tip morphology

What it means

An abnormality of the nasal tip.

The nasal tip is located at the junction of the inferior margin of the nasal ridge and the columella. Commonly, it is the part of the nose furthest from the plane of the face. In rare circumstances, such as markedly prominent and convex nasal profiles, other parts of the ridge may be further removed from the facial plane.
