Long Nose Surgery: From Looking Older to Looking Younger

Hello, this is Oji Plastic Surgery & N+Plus, thinking only about your beautiful and healthy nose.

Today’s topic is long nose surgery.

A long nose gives the overall impression a stronger, older look. Usually, the causes of a long nose are that the septal cartilage has developed beyond the average and made the nose longer overall, or that the alar cartilage at the tip of the nose has developed more than usual.

For this reason, many people who are concerned that a long nose makes them look older are increasingly looking into long nose surgery to improve it.

If you look at reviews of long nose surgery, you will see that even if a nose is simply long, surgery is not performed under the same conditions for everyone. The internal structure, such as the development of the septal cartilage and the alar cartilage at the tip of the nose, must be accurately identified first, and surgery tailored to each individual. At N+Plus, in addition to correcting septal cartilage length and the tip cartilage, we also correct the 'depressor septi nasi' that pulls the tip of the nose downward, allowing for tip correction that does not droop even when smiling.

In the case of commonly performed long nose surgery, when the septal cartilage is overly developed, the surgery is performed by removing part of the septal cartilage. When the length is due to the size of the alar cartilage at the tip of the nose, the surgery is performed by trimming the tip cartilage to correct the size and repositioning cartilage above the existing alar cartilage.

However, this has only a minimal corrective effect when smiling, so at N+Plus we perform depressor septi nasi correction in addition to the standard long nose surgery methods above. Depressor septi nasi correction is for people whose tip does not droop much when they are expressionless, but whose tip drops significantly when they smile. In such cases, the muscle that pulls the tip of the nose downward, the depressor septi nasi, is overactive and causes the drooping, so surgery to correct the muscle length must also be performed. If necessary, septal cartilage length correction, tip cartilage correction, and depressor septi nasi correction may all be performed together. Therefore, because surgery is carried out according to each individual problem, it can result in a more satisfying long nose surgery.

In addition, if you look at reviews of long nose surgery, many people are having difficulty breathing due to internal structural problems.

At this time, functional rhinoplasty to improve nasal congestion and long nose surgery can be performed at the same time.

At N+Plus, for an accurate diagnosis, surgery is performed based on analysis and data obtained through 3D-CT scans and internal endoscopic examinations.

Therefore, when choosing a hospital, an aesthetic approach is important, but we recommend proceeding at a place where internal function can also be checked.

Long nose surgery is a high-difficulty procedure in which septal resection and depressor muscle correction are performed at the same time. Therefore, it is most important to have the surgery performed by medical staff with abundant medical experience, and it is best to carefully check and proceed at a place where consultation, the surgical process, and post-operative care are all handled thoroughly.

That concludes the information on long nose surgery. I hope this article is of great help to those who are concerned about looking older because of a long nose.

Thank you^^
