Hello. We are OJIKO Plastic Surgery & N+ Clinic, which has spent only the past 16 years focusing on your healthy and beautiful nose.
This time, we have prepared information related to upturned nose surgery reviews.

Recently, it can be said that people of all ages and genders are very interested in their appearance. As a result, taking care of oneself has become a trend, and people try to make changes through various media and information such as exercise, makeup, hairstyles, and skin care. However, even with these efforts, if one is still not satisfied with their appearance, they may look into cosmetic surgery. Among our facial features, if someone has a complex about the shape of their nose, it is difficult to improve through self-care alone, so interest in nose surgery has become even greater for these individuals.

The types of people who consider nose surgery include those who want to improve a nose that is low, upturned, drooping, bumpy with a hump, or crooked into a smooth and straight line. Among these types, especially when the nose is low or upturned—an upturned nose—because the nose is located at the center of the face and is a distinct feature, it can make the balance of the face feel off and create an unsophisticated impression. This can cause stress in daily life, so people may look up information through upturned nose surgery reviews to improve it.

What is an upturned nose? It refers to a nose whose tip is raised upward, with nostrils highly visible when viewed from the front. In the case of an upturned nose, it is mostly due to congenital factors, but there are also acquired causes that appear after surgery due to contracture, where the tip shrinks and the nose becomes shorter. Therefore, those looking into upturned nose surgery reviews often have many concerns about an upturned nasal tip, and through upturned nose surgery, you can expect an image improvement to a more refined and sharper nose shape.

Usually, people looking into upturned nose surgery reviews choose surgery because their nose shape is a complex for them, whether for cosmetic reasons or cost-related reasons. However, the nose is located at the center of the face and is also functionally very important because it is responsible for smell and breathing in the body. For that reason, the internal structure of the nose is much more complex. If surgery is performed only for cosmetic purposes without considering functional aspects, postoperative functional problems can lead to revision surgery. Therefore, it is important to accurately check the internal condition of the nose before surgery in order to help prevent revision surgery.

At OJIKO Plastic Surgery & N+ Clinic, to help ensure satisfactory upturned nose surgery reviews, we thoroughly assess each patient’s internal nasal condition, the position of the nasal bone, the presence of cartilage, and the condition of the skin tissue through 3D-CT imaging and internal endoscopic examination before surgery, then proceed with surgery based on the collected data.

In addition, when performing upturned nose surgery, we apply a combination of surgical methods tailored to each patient’s condition so that the nose does not become upturned again over time.
The combined correction methods for upturned nose surgery are divided into skin extension/cartilage grafting, septal extension, and columellar support.
- What is skin extension/cartilage grafting? It secures the skin space needed for nasal tip correction and grafts autologous cartilage.
After correcting the nasal tip height, it gives the tip a clear sense of height and completes an overall high nasal line.
- What is septal extension? Using strong septal cartilage or autologous rib cartilage, the nasal tip is extended downward and forward.
It clearly lengthens the upturned tip so that the nostrils are not visible.
- What is a columellar support? Ear cartilage or septal cartilage is grafted between the inner crura of the alar cartilage (nostril cartilage).
It firmly fixes the tip so that it does not become upturned or droop again.
By applying the above methods, upturned nose surgery is performed by dividing cases into mild and severe nasal tip upturning.

First, in cases where the nasal tip upturning is mild, strong supporting cartilage is grafted between the columellae to fix the nasal tip cartilage so that it does not lift, and then autologous cartilage is grafted to the tip to correct the overall nasal line.

Second, in cases where the nasal tip upturning is severe, the tip length is sufficiently extended using strong autologous cartilage, then autologous cartilage is grafted to the nasal tip and the overall nasal line is corrected.

As such, upturned nose surgery is a highly complex procedure in which both lowering the raised nasal tip and correcting the tip height are performed at the same time. At N+ Clinic, to clearly improve a short nasal tip, we perform at least two or more combined correction procedures. Because surgery is performed through the 'septal extension' method to lower the raised tip, the 'columellar support' to firmly fix the tip so it does not become upturned again, and the 'skin extension & cartilage grafting' method to satisfy both height and length of the tip, it can lead to highly satisfactory upturned nose surgery reviews.

The materials used in upturned nose surgery include silicone for the bridge of the nose and autologous cartilage for tip correction. Autologous cartilage is selected based on a preoperative examination to determine the material that suits the individual, and it includes septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and autologous rib cartilage.

In addition, at OJIKO Plastic Surgery & N+ Clinic, the silicone used for the bridge of the nose is not a commercial implant. Instead, after carefully shaping the implant by hand while considering the patient’s overall image, the width, length, and breadth of the nasal bridge, it is used, allowing for a natural-looking nasal bridge line after surgery.

As you can see from upturned nose surgery reviews, upturned nose surgery is a high-difficulty procedure because it involves two or more surgeries. Therefore, it is important to carefully and thoughtfully choose a clinic or surgeon based on whether the medical team has extensive anatomical knowledge of the nose, abundant experience, the proper equipment to accurately assess the nasal condition, and reliable aftercare.

Therefore, at OJIKO Plastic Surgery & N+ Clinic, to help ensure satisfactory upturned nose surgery reviews, Director Yoon Hyun-cheol personally handles every step one-on-one, from consultation related to upturned nose surgery to surgical planning, execution, treatment, and follow-up care.

In addition, we issue an N+ membership card and operate an after-sales service system guaranteed for one year after surgery, as well as a surgical responsibility guarantee system in preparation for postoperative pain, inflammation, or dissatisfaction with the result that may occur. Those who have the N+ membership card can also receive definite aftercare benefits.

That concludes the information we shared about upturned nose surgery reviews at OJIKO Plastic Surgery & N+ Clinic. We hope this article was very helpful for those considering nose surgery because their nose is upturned or because of nasal contracture. Thank you.
