Learn About Short Nose Surgery Properly

Hello. This is Oji Plastic Surgery and N+ Plus, which thinks only about your healthy and beautiful nose.

The content prepared this time is about short nose surgery.

Our nose is a major feature that determines facial impression, and when the shape of the nose is not straight or well-balanced, more and more people are looking into rhinoplasty to improve it. Among these, if the nose is short and upturned, you can learn more about short nose surgery to improve an appearance that may seem dull or old-fashioned into something more refined and neat.

What is short nose surgery? It refers to a nose whose tip is turned upward, so that the nostrils are highly visible from the front. In the case of a short or upturned nose, it may be congenital, or it may appear later due to contracture after surgery. When performing short nose surgery, since the cause differs from person to person, it may be helpful to undergo surgery after an accurate diagnosis of the nose’s condition.

In particular, for those who want short nose surgery, the tip may appear blunt or upturned, and it may even look like a hooked nose shape, drawing attention to the nose from the entire face and making its shape stand out even more. Because of this, concerns about a short nose can grow even larger, and through short nose surgery, you can attempt to improve it into a sharper and more refined image.

However, our nose plays an important external role while also functioning as an organ responsible for smell and breathing. Since the surgical method and materials vary depending on the condition of the skin, the internal nasal function, the condition of the cartilage, and the condition of the nasal bone, it is best to choose a clinic that can accurately diagnose the current condition of the nose.

At Oji Plastic Surgery and N+ Plus, before surgery, 3D-CT imaging, internal endoscopic imaging, various allergy tests, and internal nasal function tests are performed to accurately determine the cause of the short nose. Based on the extracted data, a surgical plan is established and carried out, allowing for a safer and more satisfying short nose surgery.

In addition, in the case of short nose surgery, N+ Plus does not apply only one program but performs combination correction techniques with a variety of know-how. The combination correction techniques applied to short nose surgery include septal extension, columellar strut, and skin extension/cartilage grafting, which correct the nose so that it does not turn upward again. The surgical methods for short nose surgery are divided into two approaches: when the tip lift is mild and when the tip lift is severe.

For short nose surgery when the tip lift is mild, a strong support cartilage is grafted between the columella to keep the tip cartilage from moving, and autologous cartilage is grafted to the tip to correct the overall nasal line.

For short nose surgery when the tip lift is severe, strong autologous cartilage is used to sufficiently lengthen the tip, and after autologous cartilage grafting to the tip, the overall nasal line is corrected.

The materials used in short nose surgery include autologous cartilage used for the tip, and if the nasal bridge is low, silicone is additionally inserted. The autologous cartilage used for the tip includes septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and autologous rib cartilage. If the use of these autologous cartilage materials is difficult, donor rib cartilage approved by the U.S. FDA can be used.

In the case of implants used when the nasal bridge is low, rather than using a pre-manufactured commercial implant as-is, the implant is carefully shaped by hand after considering the individual’s overall appearance as well as the width, length, breadth, and height of the nasal bridge. If volume is added to the nasal bridge, post-surgery satisfaction may be higher.

Short nose surgery is a procedure that considers many complex factors among rhinoplasty procedures, so it is considered a high-difficulty surgery. For those looking into short nose surgery, it may be helpful to look into the following details more carefully before proceeding: whether the medical team has a high level of anatomical knowledge about the nose, whether they have abundant relevant experience and expertise, whether the necessary equipment is available to accurately assess the condition of your nose, and whether aftercare is firmly guaranteed.

At Oji Plastic Surgery and N+ Plus, to ensure satisfying short nose surgery, Director Yoon Hyun-cheol personally takes charge one-on-one and handles every process directly, from rhinoplasty consultation to surgical planning, execution, treatment, and follow-up care, allowing you to receive a higher level of medical service.

For aftercare, they issue an N+ Plus membership card and provide a one-year after-surgery warranty through an A/S system. They also operate a surgical responsibility guarantee system in preparation for any possible post-surgery pain, inflammation, or dissatisfaction with the appearance, so you can visit with peace of mind.
