Learn More About Upturned Nose Surgery in Detail

Recently, as trends have changed, many people can gather a variety of information as a way to improve their appearance. Among these, if there is a flaw in the face, you may consider cosmetic surgery. Among the many types of cosmetic procedures, the nose is located at the center of the face and is the most three-dimensional feature, so the shape of the nose can greatly affect a person’s image, making it one of the more popular procedures.

If you have concerns about your appearance, you can learn more about rhinoplasty in detail. Therefore, when the nose is too low, has a hump, is upturned, crooked, drooping, or has a hooked shape, many people become interested in cosmetic surgery.

Among these shapes, if the nose is upturned so that the nostrils are visible, people who want to improve an image that looks plain or dull because of the shape of their nose may look into upturned nose surgery in order to achieve a more refined and sharper line.

What is upturned nose surgery? It refers to a nose whose tip is turned upward, so that the nostrils are very visible when viewed from the front. Because the nose is short and turned upward, people may consider surgery to address an outward appearance complex, but our nose also plays an important external role and is a functional organ responsible for breathing and the sense of smell. Therefore, surgery that also considers any internal nasal issues may lead to higher satisfaction.

For this reason, for those looking into upturned nose surgery, it is important to check the design aspect, but it is also helpful to carefully examine whether the medical team has strong anatomical knowledge of the nose, whether they have abundant experience and expertise, whether equipment is available to accurately assess the condition of your nose, and whether aftercare can be firmly guaranteed.

At Ojiko N+ Plus, to ensure safe and satisfying upturned nose surgery, they conduct various preoperative tests such as allergy tests, internal nasal function tests, 3D-CT scans, internal endoscopy, and multi-angle photography to accurately understand each person's current condition, and then establish and proceed with a surgical plan based on the extracted data.

In the case of upturned nose surgery performed at N+ Plus, different surgical methods are combined according to each person's condition so that the nose does not become upturned again over time. The combined procedures are divided into skin extension, cartilage grafting, septal extension, and columellar support, and the surgical approach is classified according to whether the nasal tip upturning is mild or severe.

For a method of upturned nose surgery when the nasal tip upturning is mild, a sturdy support cartilage is grafted between the columellae to build a columellar support, and after fixing the nasal tip cartilage so it does not turn up again, autologous cartilage is grafted to the tip of the nose to correct the overall nasal line.

For severe cases of upturned nose surgery, strong autologous cartilage is used to sufficiently lengthen the nasal tip, and autologous cartilage is grafted to correct the overall nasal line.

In this way, upturned nose surgery is performed by lowering the nasal tip and correcting the height of the nasal tip at the same time, which can help prevent the nose from becoming upturned again.

The materials used in upturned nose surgery include silicone for the nasal bridge and autologous cartilage for the nasal tip. In the case of the autologous cartilage used for the nasal tip, the appropriate material for each person can be selected through preoperative examinations. Autologous cartilage includes septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and autologous rib cartilage.

Silicone is applied to the nasal bridge, and at N+ Plus, they do not use commercially available silicone as is. Instead, they carefully shape it themselves based on various aspects such as the person's overall image and the bridge's width, length, breadth, and height, allowing for a safer and more satisfying rhinoplasty.

At Ojiko N+ Plus, Director Yun Hyun-cheol personally handles everything one-on-one, from consultations related to upturned nose surgery to surgical planning, execution, treatment, and follow-up care, allowing you to receive high-level medical services from before the surgery through after it.

Aftercare is also covered by a one-year warranty service after surgery, and they operate a surgical responsibility guarantee system in preparation for any postoperative pain, inflammation, dissatisfaction with the shape, or other situations that may arise, so you can also receive clear aftercare benefits after the surgery.
