1 Month After Nose Surgery with Autologous Rib Cartilage: Review of a Short Nose and Upturned Nose Case

Hello, this is Charmin Plastic Surgery.

When the overall length of the nose is short

or the tip is upturned, creating a snub nose,

many people consider rhinoplasty to achieve a more refined image.

So today, we would like to introduce a case of a patient who underwent surgery at Charmin to improve a short, upturned nose.

The patient wanted to improve a nose that was short compared to the facial proportions

and had nostrils that were very visible from the front.

Because the bridge and tip were also relatively low,

the patient wanted an overall nose line that was both naturally lifted and refined.

When we examined the internal structure of the nose through endoscopy and 3D-CT,

the inferior turbinate was enlarged, and nasal congestion and rhinitis were confirmed, so we planned cosmetic rhinoplasty together with rhinitis surgery.

Because the patient wanted a clear change and height for a short, upturned nose,

after sufficient consultation,

Bridge: dermis

Tip: autologous rib cartilage, dermis

Functional nose surgery: rhinitis surgery

The surgery was performed according to this plan.

Rhinoplasty with autologous rib cartilage

Appearance after 1 month

If you say you will use autologous rib cartilage for your first rhinoplasty,

many people think it is a material used for revision rhinoplasty.

However, autologous rib cartilage is not a material only for revision rhinoplasty;

it is used when a strong nasal framework and support are needed. For cases like this,

where a clear increase in height is desired and the nose is short,

it is very important to use autologous rib cartilage rather than ear cartilage or septal cartilage

to create a sturdy nasal support structure.

At one month, there was still some residual swelling,

but as the shape of the nose changed,

the overall impression and image of the face changed a lot,

and the patient was satisfied.

When performing rhinoplasty, whether using autologous rib cartilage or other materials,

it is important to consider not only the aesthetic aspects

but also the functional aspects.

Also, because delicate technical details such as proper suturing and cartilage grafting determine the result,

Charmin Plastic Surgery provides customized one-on-one treatment from consultation to surgery, treatment, and follow-up.

3D-CT and endoscopic detailed analysis

Accurate diagnosis is the most important!

At Charmin Plastic Surgery, to accurately diagnose both the aesthetic aspects

and the functional aspects inside the nose,

we do not rely on CT alone, but also use nasal endoscopy

to carefully check the nasal support structure and function.

We focus on the nose, including first rhinoplasty,

multiple repeated revision rhinoplasties,

nasal conditions, and removal of nasal silicone.
