Check in Detail About Small Nose Surgery

It can be said that standards of beauty vary greatly depending on the era, but regardless of the trends of the time, people who give a favorable impression may seem more handsome or beautiful because their features are clear and distinct. One characteristic of such people is that their overall facial balance is good, so many people may first look into rhinoplasty, which is located at the center of the face and is the most three-dimensional area, in greater detail.

For that reason, the shape of the nose can vary widely. In general, people may be more interested in rhinoplasty if their nose is too low, small, flat, humped, drooping, or crooked. In particular, the small nose surgery introduced today is applied when the nose itself is small, so it may be helpful for people whose nose is small, whose bridge is low, or whose nose is flat.

People looking into small nose surgery can be categorized in various ways, such as those whose low bridge makes the face look flat, those whose bridge and tip are both low and lack dimension, those whose low nose makes the nose appear relatively short, and those who are considering revision surgery because the nose is still low after rhinoplasty. Since the nose is not only important for appearance but is also a functional organ responsible for breathing and smell, surgery that takes the functional aspects of the nose into account can help prevent revision surgery caused by functional problems after the operation.

Therefore, if you are considering small nose surgery, it will be very helpful to carefully check whether the medical team has strong anatomical knowledge of the nose before choosing a hospital, whether they have abundant related experience and expertise, whether equipment is available to examine the inside of your nose, and whether post-operative care is reliably guaranteed.

At Ojigo Hospital N+Plus, Director Yoon Hyun-cheol personally handles the entire process one-on-one, from consultation related to nose surgery to surgical planning, implementation, treatment, and follow-up care, providing a high level of medical service from before surgery through aftercare, so you can visit with greater peace of mind.

In addition, N+Plus performs 3D-CT imaging, internal endoscopic imaging, various allergy tests, internal nasal function tests, and multi-angle photography before nose surgery to accurately assess each patient’s condition. Based on the extracted data, a surgical plan is established and carried out.

Small nose surgery can refer to a small and low nose, but it can also include a short nose or a nose that is small in shape itself. Because such small noses are among the more difficult types of surgeries, the method and materials used may vary depending on the individual’s skin condition or cartilage condition. On average, the bridge can be corrected with silicone, and the tip can be corrected with autologous cartilage to improve the overall line.

As for the materials used in small nose surgery, I mentioned silicone for the bridge and autologous cartilage for the tip. Autologous cartilage includes septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and autologous rib cartilage, and the appropriate material can be selected for each individual through preoperative testing before surgery.

For the silicone used in the bridge, rather than using a mass-produced implant as is, it is carefully hand-shaped in detail by considering various aspects such as the individual’s overall image, the width, length, breadth, and height of the bridge, in order to minimize an artificial look after nose surgery, which can lead to higher satisfaction.

As for the aftercare provided after surgery, they operate a repair service system that guarantees support for one year after surgery and a surgical responsibility guarantee system that prepares for all possible situations, including postoperative pain, inflammation, and dissatisfaction with the shape. This means you can receive reliable aftercare benefits after the operation.
