###Minimal saddle nose corresponds to a depression above the
supratip of the nose
Necrosis involving the nasal
supratip, tip, septum, and ala.
Rotation of the tip, exaggeration of the
supratip break and softening of the dorsal hump may follow maxillary advancements (6).

Supratip step-off was observed in one patient on the 7[sup]th day after surgery and corrected by external reshaping and continued fixation of the mold without operation.
In 3 patients with a bony hump and
supratip depression, bony hump was rounded off and
supratip was augmented with cartilage graft.
Alar swing procedure could be used for the correction of minor
supratip depressions.8 In mild saddle deformity, cartilaginous augmentation of the nasal dorsum is useful, but if a greater augmentation is required, the autogenous bone is used.9
We used the bilobed flap advocated by Zettili as the repair of choice for defects located between 0.5 and 1.5 cm of the distal and lateral aspect of the nose particularly defects involving the lateral tip
supratip or defects near the tip 17-19.
Corticosteroid injections to the
supratip area for prolonged swelling were required in 2 patients.
Persistent convexity of the dorsum can be camouflaged with the implant placed into the radix and into the
supratip area.
The 2.0 x 1.5-cm infiltrative, pearly lesion extended from the left nasal
supratip to the left alar groove.
