Video Summary

The video demonstrates the cephalic turn-under technique for treating bulbous nasal tips. The process involves dissecting the nasal mucosa from the lower lateral cartilage and releasing it at the cephalic border for a turn-under flap. At least six to seven millimeters of cartilage is preserved. Scoring is done without fully cutting the cartilage, and a wedge is removed for easier folding. A 5-0 PDS suture secures the flap, ensuring it doesn't penetrate through the nose. Typically, two to three sutures are used for stability, aiding in straightening the cartilage and improving structural support.
