Patient’s Requests 🙋‍♀️

• The patient wanted to improve the appearance of an upturned nose.

• The patient did not want the nose to droop when smiling.

• The patient wanted a natural change.

Surgical Plan ☝️

1. Deviated nose correction: The plan was to straighten the central axis of the nose and create a more balanced contour.

2. Columella and nasal tip correction: Considering that the nasal tip drooped when smiling, the procedure was designed to reinforce the support of both the columella and nasal tip at the same time.

3. Maintaining a natural contour: Rather than emphasizing height alone, the focus was on maintaining a contour that suited the proportions of the face.

Surgical Results ✨

Gangnam Sinsa Station Deviated Nose Revision Rhinoplasty Review

Before surgery

• The bridge appeared uneven, lacking a smooth, continuous contour.

• The nasal tip was slightly broad, and the nostrils did not appear symmetrical.

• From the front, the columella was not very prominent, resulting in relatively limited definition.

• Contracture symptoms caused by scar tissue and tissue contraction inside the nose after the previous surgery had caused the nasal tip to become upturned, making the overall nasal contour appear shorter.

Day 7

• Because swelling remained, the nasal tip still appeared rounded and firm.

• The bridge had been straightened compared with before.

Week 2

• The contour of the bridge connected naturally.

• As the volume of the nasal tip decreased, the overall balance improved.

Month 1

• As the swelling subsided, the contour of the nasal tip became more defined.

• The shape of the nostrils settled into a stable form.

• The central axis of the nose became more distinct, creating a cleaner overall impression.
