Q. Can an upturned nose be improved without an artificial implant?

I am looking into surgery for an upturned nose.

My facial shape is closer to a square jaw, and my eyes are average.

My nostrils are very triangular, and my nose is short. It is also an upturned nose.

I do not want to use an artificial implant.

I want to lengthen the nose, improve the shape of the nostrils, and raise the bridge of the nose.

If I do this, what would be the approximate surgery time and cost?

From your question, it seems you would like to improve an upturned nose without using an artificial implant. It seems you want to lengthen the nose and improve the shape of the nostrils.

First, for lengthening the tip of an upturned nose, ear cartilage, septal cartilage, or costal cartilage can be used. Depending on the shape of the nostrils, ear cartilage may need to be grafted or a composite graft may be necessary.

Since you do not like artificial implants, it may be better to use autologous dermis instead of silicone for the bridge, or to perform surgery without an implant if the bridge already has some height.

For all plastic surgery procedures, including improving an upturned nose without using an artificial implant, we cannot provide cost information online.

It would be better to call the plastic surgery clinic or visit in person to ask.

We hope you get a good result.

Thank you.
