Upturned Nose Surgery for a Harmonious Look

Upturned Nose Surgery for a Harmonious Look​

As the saying goes that appearance is also a qualification, interest in looks is high in modern times. In line with this social trend, self-care has become a trend, and more people are taking up exercise or changing their hairstyle to create a different image. However, for those who hope plastic surgery can change areas that are difficult to improve through effort alone, it may be helpful to learn more about cosmetic procedures in greater detail.

There are many types of plastic surgery, but the nose is one of the most popular because it is located at the center of the face and is the most three-dimensional feature. Even a small change in the shape of the nose can have a major effect on improving the overall image.

For those looking into rhinoplasty for this kind of image change, common nose shapes include noses that are too low, have a hump, are upturned, crooked, or drooping. Many people hope to improve these into a straight and balanced shape. In particular, when the nose is short and upturned, it can make the face look outdated or dull, so those considering correction can learn more about upturned nose surgery.

Upturned nose surgery refers to a nose in which the tip is tilted upward, making the nostrils highly visible from the front. Because the nose is short and tilted upward, many cases begin with a cosmetic approach due to the concern caused by the shape. However, while the external appearance is an important part of the nose, it is also a functional organ responsible for breathing and smell throughout the body. If surgery is performed only with a cosmetic approach, postoperative functional issues can lead to revision surgery. Therefore, it is important to identify any internal functional problems in the nose and proceed with a surgical plan suited to those findings.

Therefore, for those looking into upturned nose surgery, it may be helpful to check whether the medical team has strong anatomical knowledge of the nose, whether they have sufficient experience and case history, whether the necessary equipment to accurately assess the condition of your nose is available, and whether postoperative care is reliably guaranteed.

At Ozhiko N Plus, internal endoscopic imaging before surgery, various allergy tests, internal nasal function tests, multi-angle photography, and 3D CT scans are made mandatory. After accurately identifying each person's internal and external nasal condition, surgery is planned and performed based on the extracted data.

In the case of upturned nose surgery, N Plus applies a combination of surgical methods according to each individual's condition so that the nose will not become upturned again over time. The methods are categorized into skin lengthening, cartilage grafting, septal extension, and columellar support, and the surgical approach is divided into cases with mild tip upturning and severe tip upturning.

When the tip upturning is mild, a sturdy support cartilage is grafted between the columellae to build a columellar support, fixing the tip cartilage so it will not be pulled upward again. Then autologous cartilage is grafted to the tip to correct the overall nose line.

When the tip upturning is severe, sturdy autologous cartilage is used to sufficiently lengthen the tip, and autologous cartilage is grafted to correct the overall nose line.

In the case of upturned nose surgery, the procedure to lower the tip and the procedure to correct the height of the tip are performed at the same time, which can help prevent recurrence of the upturned nose.

For upturned nose surgery, more than two surgical methods are applied. Autologous cartilage is used at the tip, and silicone is used for the bridge. The autologous cartilage is selected through preoperative testing to suit the individual, and options include ear cartilage, septal cartilage, and autologous rib cartilage.

The bridge of the nose is made with silicone, but instead of using a pre-made commercial silicone implant as is, it is carefully and delicately shaped by hand after considering various factors such as the person's overall image, as well as the bridge width, length, thickness, and height. This allows for a more satisfactory upturned nose surgery.

At Ozhiko N Plus, Director Yoon Hyun-cheol handles everything one-on-one, personally managing the entire process from consultation for upturned nose surgery to surgical planning, performance, treatment, and follow-up visits. This provides a high level of medical service before and after surgery.

For postoperative care, a N Plus membership card is issued, providing warranty coverage for one year after surgery through an after-sales service system. In addition, a surgical responsibility warranty system is in place to prepare for any possible postoperative pain, inflammation, dissatisfaction with the shape, and other situations, so you can also receive solid postoperative care benefits.

This has been an explanation of Ozhiko N Plus upturned nose surgery. I hope this article is of great help to those who are looking into rhinoplasty because their nose is upturned or short. Thank you.
