Rethinking Upturned Nose Surgery: Checking Function Too

Hello. This is OJIKO Hospital N+Plus, which thinks only about your beautiful and healthy nose.

What we are introducing this time is a review of upturned nose surgery that also checked function.

Recently, as the saying goes that appearance is also a credential, standards for appearance are becoming higher. Accordingly, many people want to improve parts of their appearance that they have felt dissatisfied with through various media. However, the part that is difficult to change despite these efforts is the nose. When a person judges that the shape of the nose is even slightly outside the standard, interest in nose surgery increases.

Therefore, the types of people seeking information about nose surgery can be divided into those with a low nose, a very high nose, a bumpy hump, a crooked nose, a drooping nose, or an upturned nose. In particular, for upturned nose surgery involving a small or upturned nose, many people feel burdened because they anticipate limitations. For this reason, we would like to share information through reviews of upturned nose surgery.

Also, even if the shape of the nose is the same, the materials and surgical method may differ depending on the individual’s nasal bone, skin, and internal function. Therefore, for those looking into reviews of upturned nose surgery, it is important to check carefully before making a choice.

What is upturned nose surgery? It refers to a nose whose tip is turned upward so that the nostrils are clearly visible from the front. In the case of an upturned nose, there are two major causes: one is congenital factors, and the other is an acquired factor in which the tip of the nose becomes shorter due to contracture after surgery. Referring to reviews of upturned nose surgery applied with the appropriate method according to each person’s condition can be helpful.

On average, people looking into reviews of upturned nose surgery often have many concerns about the nasal tip. In particular, when the nasal tip is upturned and has a blunt, fleshy shape, attention is drawn more to the nose, and they want improvement. Through reviews of upturned nose surgery, you can see how the result can be improved into a sharper, more refined image.

At OJIKO Hospital N+Plus, to ensure safe and satisfactory reviews of upturned nose surgery, the causes of the upturned nose are accurately analyzed through 3D-CT imaging and internal endoscopic imaging. Surgery is performed based on the resulting data, and various combined correction procedures are used according to the individual’s condition so that the nose does not become upturned again over time.

N+Plus Combined Correction Program

Septal extension - Using strong septal cartilage or rib cartilage, the nasal tip is extended downward and forward, clearly increasing the length of the upturned tip and correcting it so the nostrils are not visible.

Columellar strut - After grafting ear cartilage or septal cartilage between the inner legs of the alar cartilage, it firmly fixes the nasal tip so that it does not become upturned or droop again.

Skin extension, cartilage grafting - It secures the skin space needed for nasal tip correction and grafts autologous cartilage to correct the height of the nasal tip, giving the tip a definite sense of height and completing an overall high nose line.

The surgical methods for upturned nose surgery are divided into cases with mild tip upturning and cases with severe tip upturning.

For upturned nose surgery when the tip upturning is mild, a strong support cartilage is grafted between the columella to prevent the tip cartilage from moving, and then autologous cartilage is grafted to the nasal tip to refine the overall nose line.

For upturned nose surgery when the tip upturning is severe, strong autologous cartilage is used to sufficiently extend the length of the nasal tip, and after autologous cartilage grafting to the tip, the overall nose line is refined.

The materials used in upturned nose surgery include ear cartilage, septal cartilage, and autologous rib cartilage. Ear cartilage has the advantage of being easy to harvest and helps create a natural-looking nasal tip. Septal cartilage is firmer than ear cartilage and has the advantage of supporting the nasal tip so that it does not droop. Autologous rib cartilage is large and abundant, so it is often used for short-nose surgery, upturned nose surgery, or revision surgery. Surgery is performed with the material that suits the patient based on preoperative examinations. However, when harvesting autologous cartilage is difficult or insufficient, donated rib cartilage approved by the U.S. FDA is used.

When silicone is used if needed, the existing commercially made silicone is not used as-is. Instead, it is carefully shaped by hand after considering the individual’s overall image and the width, length, breadth, and height of the bridge of the nose, allowing for a more satisfactory review of upturned nose surgery.

At OJIKO Hospital N+Plus, Director Yoon Hyun-cheol personally handles everything related to upturned nose surgery, from consultation and surgical planning to performance, treatment, and follow-up care, so you can receive high-level medical service from before surgery to after.

For post-operative care, an N+Plus membership card is issued, providing a one-year after-service warranty after surgery, and a surgery responsibility guarantee system is in place to prepare for all possible situations after surgery, such as pain, inflammation, or dissatisfaction with appearance, making for a safer and more satisfactory review of upturned nose surgery.

That concludes the information I shared about OJIKO Hospital N+Plus’s upturned nose surgery review. I hope this post is very helpful for those who are currently stressed in daily life because their nose appears upturned. Thank you.
