Q. Can upturned nose surgery make uneven nostrils symmetrical if the nose is crooked?

Hello. I am Kim Hyeong-taek, the chief director of Kowon Plastic Surgery, who helps organize the center of the face.

Today, as a question about upturned nose surgery, someone asked whether it would be possible to improve an uneven nose with different nasal bridge heights into symmetrical nostrils.

Q. Can upturned nose surgery make uneven nostrils symmetrical if the nose is crooked?

1. My nasal bridge is low and short, and my nostrils are upturned, so I want upturned nose surgery.

I have an upturned nose, and it also looks slightly crooked. You can’t really tell unless you look closely.

Also, my nose often gets blocked in winter, so my rhinitis is quite severe, and it is an uneven nose with different bridge heights when viewed from the right and from the left.

The right side looks higher, and the left side looks too low.

Taking all of this into account, I want surgery.

I am wondering whether, at a general plastic surgery clinic, upturned nose surgery can raise the bridge, extend the length, treat rhinitis at the same time, and also straighten a slightly crooked nose.

2. Regarding the cost of upturned nose surgery, if I ask to have a slightly crooked nasal bone and rhinitis treated together, will the surgery cost increase?

I know it depends on the hospital, but I would like to know whether the average cost is higher.

3. My right nostril is more upturned than the left, so every time I take a photo, the right side of my nose looks too upturned and it causes a lot of stress.

I would like to ask whether, during surgery, the position and size of the uneven nostrils can also be made identical so that the nostrils are symmetrical.

-> At a general plastic surgery clinic, upturned nose surgery can raise the bridge, extend the length, and also straighten rhinitis and a crooked nose.

2. Regarding the cost of upturned nose surgery, if I ask to have a slightly crooked nasal bone and rhinitis treated together, will the surgery cost increase?

I know it depends on the hospital, but I would like to know whether the average cost is higher.

-> In most cases, surgery for a crooked nasal bone and rhinitis often adds extra cost.

3. My right nostril is more upturned than the left, so every time I take a photo, the right side of my nose looks too upturned and it causes a lot of stress.

I would like to ask whether, during surgery, the position and size of the uneven nostrils can also be made identical so that the nostrils are symmetrical.

-> During surgery, the shape and size of the nostrils can be adjusted.

It may be difficult to make them 100% identical, but they can be made as similar as possible so that other people will not notice the difference.

I hope you get a good result.

I hope this consultation answer was helpful.

Thank you.

This is a case of a short bulbous nose and an upturned nose at the same time.

By extending the tip of the nose as much as possible, we created a more attractive line for the entire nose.

Because the lower face appears more recessed, we were able to balance the overall face.

This patient had a small nose and a short nose tip, with an upturned nose.

The tip was so short that the nostrils were visible from the front.

We extended the length of the nose tip using 4 mm medium silicone and ear cartilage.

As the tip became longer, the impression became more refined and feminine.

These are before-and-after images of upturned nose surgery. Before surgery, the nose tip was leaning to one side and was asymmetrical.

Through nostril reduction or lateral alar reduction surgery, we refined the nose tip, which had been spreading outward to both sides, into a sharper shape.
