Hello,

this is VN Plastic Surgery.

Because everyone’s nose shape

is different and varied,

there are cases where specific terms are used.

A hooked nose that looks like a hawk’s beak,

a round and fleshy bulbous nose,

and an upturned nose in which the nostrils are visible.

In the past, procedures that lifted the tip of the nose

became popular,

and many people underwent surgery

to raise the tip of the nose.

However, if it is lifted too much,

it can result in an unflattering nose

and can also give a look that makes one appear older.

Today, we will explain what an upturned nose is

and tell you how it can be addressed.

What is an upturned nose?

An upturned nose is a shape in which the tip of the nose is lifted upward,

so the nostrils are highly visible,

and the length of the nose is often short

relative to the face.

It can be congenital,

but it can also occur due to acquired factors.

If you have previously had nose surgery

or if the shape and structure of the nose

have been altered due to trauma,

an upturned nose can also develop.

When viewed from the front, the tip of the nose is raised,

so it can possibly look like a pig nose,

which can be stressful.

In what cases should upturned nose surgery

be performed?

When the columella and cartilage are naturally short

When there is insufficient skin and cartilage tissue

When too much cartilage was removed in a previous rhinoplasty

When the nose is lifted due to contracture after nose surgery

In addition, habitual forceful rubbing of the nose

can deform the cartilage tissue,

and people with severe rhinitis

may also touch their nose frequently,

which can cause the tip of the nose to become upturned.

Because the tip of the nose is not firm

and is made up of very soft tissue,

for upturned nose surgery,

it is important to choose medical staff

with extensive experience and skill.

VN Plastic Surgery’s upturned nose surgery

performs septal extension using septal cartilage or costal cartilage,

prepares a firm support so that the alar cartilage does not turn upward,

and carries out cartilage grafting to

secure the alar cartilage in place and lower the tip of the nose.

By safely dissecting the alar cartilage at the tip of the nose

and reducing tension,

an upturned nose can be improved.

If you want the nose to be higher,

an additional augmentation rhinoplasty can be performed

to naturally extend the length of the nose

and create a nose line that suits the face.

Upturned nose surgery is not simply

about lowering the tip of the nose;

design that harmonizes with the entire face

is also important.

When the nostrils are highly visible,

when the cartilage is short and the overall proportions do not fit,

when the tip of the nose has been pulled upward by previous rhinoplasty,

or when you are not satisfied with the current nose shape,

we accurately analyze the cause of the upturned nose

and select a surgical method that matches the patient’s needs,

then provide a natural nose line

that fits the individual’s facial proportions.

Checkpoints for improving an upturned nose

For upturned nose surgery,

a surgical plan that considers each person’s facial shape

and skin condition must be established

to reduce the risk of secondary problems

and achieve natural, satisfying results.

If you check whether overall facial balance

as well as each individual’s situation and nose shape are considered,

you can improve an upturned nose

while creating a natural and beautiful nose line.

VN Plastic Surgery

creates a three-dimensional and refined nose line

while considering the angle and height of the nose.
