Q. After surgery for an upturned nose, it became a hooked nose. What is the solution?

Hello. I am Kim Hyung-taek, the CEO doctor of Kowon Plastic Surgery, who creates high-quality results with meticulous technique.

Today, this is a question about revision surgery for someone who had nose surgery to improve an upturned nose, but the nose was lowered too much and became a hooked nose.

Q. After surgery for an upturned nose, it became a hooked nose. What is the solution?

I had surgery on the bridge of my nose with 2 mm, and ear cartilage was used for the tip of my nose one month ago.

I wanted a small nose, and I did not want a hooked nose at all.

In fact, from the side, the tip of my nose was closer to an upturned nose.

The hospital said it would lower the nose, but it was lowered too much and ended up becoming a hooked nose.

I am thinking about revision surgery. What kind of procedure is available?

Would this involve cutting the columella area to improve the hooked nose?

Also, the bridge of my nose did not become as high as I thought.

The bridge looks higher and more prominent, and the lower part of the nose has become longer and droopy, and it is not sharp.

It looks big like a parrot’s beak, can I just shave down the bridge?

The tip of my nose is also too thick ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Summary!!

I had surgery because I wanted to improve my upturned nose, but the columella came down too much and my nose became hooked.

I want to know what methods are available for revision surgery to improve a hooked nose, whether I need to have open surgery again, whether the higher bridge area needs to be shaved down, and how a thick nose tip can be improved.

In the last photo, that person is also my ideal target look, and that person also seems to have a small nose. Is it possible to raise the columella to that extent?

In the case of an upturned nose, the columella is lowered in order to bring the tip of the nose down.

It seems that the columella was intentionally lowered to correct the upturned nose, but if it was excessive, a revision surgery can slightly lift it up to make it like the last photo.

If the middle part of the bridge is protruding, it can be reduced by trimming the silicone in that area, and if the nose tip is blunt, the tip can be refined.

The surgery can be done by opening the columella area and correcting the parts you want improved one by one, and if you are not specifically looking to make the nose higher than it currently is, revision may be possible using only the materials already inside the nose.

However, it has only been one month since the nose surgery, so it is better to wait until the nose has fully settled and the tissue has stabilized before doing revision surgery.

Generally, it is better to do it after at least 6 months have passed.

The best course is for the person asking the question to discuss the current condition in detail with the doctor at the hospital where the surgery was performed.

I hope this answer was helpful.

I wish you good results.

Thank you.
