Q. I want to improve my nostrils without artificial implants in upturned nose surgery

The shape of a short nose that appears upturned can greatly affect facial impression, so many people consider upturned nose surgery.

In particular, if you want to naturally improve both nose length and nostril shape without artificial implants, it is important to have an accurate understanding of the surgical method and process.

Q.

I have a question about upturned nose surgery. My face shape is close to square, and my eyes are average. My nose is short and turned up, and the nostrils are exposed in a triangular shape.

I would like to improve the nose length, the tip height, and the nostril shape without using artificial implants. Please tell me about this type of upturned nose surgery.

Hello. This is Kim Hyung-taek, a consultant at Hidoc-Naver Knowledge iN.

From your inquiry, it seems you would like to lengthen the nose and correct the nostril shape at the same time through upturned nose surgery without using artificial implants.

To lengthen the nose, upturned nose surgery is performed by reinforcing the structure of the tip using ear cartilage, septal cartilage, or rib cartilage. Depending on the current condition, the nostril shape may need to be adjusted naturally by combining ear cartilage grafting or more complex cartilage grafting.

If you do not want artificial implants, you can use autologous dermis instead of silicone for the bridge, or if the bridge already has some height, an implant-free upturned nose surgery may also be considered.

I hope you get a good result. Thank you.

Hello. We introduce the process of carefully refining the balance of the front and side views. Before the upturned nose correction, the woman’s bridge was slightly crooked, so her nose tip may have felt short, but overall it did not give an overly awkward impression.

However, due to nostril asymmetry, the nose appeared to tilt to one side, and while correcting this, she also wanted the bridge to look a bit more defined. Since she wanted a natural, refined change while preserving the existing image of her nose, detailed design was carried out with a focus on upturned nose correction.

In this case, a deviated septum was also identified. A deviated septum refers to a condition in which the internal structure of the nose is crooked, which can lead to external asymmetry or functional discomfort.

To straighten the slightly deviated bridge, structural support was created at the tip of the nose and the center was aligned through cartilage suturing to restore balance to the entire face.

The photo you see now shows a side-by-side comparison before and after improving nostril asymmetry through upturned nose correction. The bridge line was neatly refined, creating a fresher yet more feminine atmosphere, and the design aimed for a natural result without being excessive.

You can see that the nostril asymmetry was stably eased after the upturned nose correction.

This is the front view. The nose, which had appeared crooked to one side, and the nostril asymmetry were improved, stabilizing the center line. At the same time, the nostrils that had looked spread outward were brought inward, further refining the overall facial balance.

In the photo taken from below, the changes are even more apparent. As the nostril symmetry was aligned, a sense of stability was created, and the bridge that had looked crooked also returned to its proper position.

Even with relatively small adjustments, a much more refined impression was achieved than before.

If you look at the 45-degree side photo, the change in impression is clearly visible. The short, uneven bridge was neatly refined and smoothly connected into a slightly upturned nose shape, creating a more sophisticated overall atmosphere.

The short nose tip length was naturally secured by applying septal extension surgery to match the proportions of the face.

The side-view result after upturned nose correction also appears stably settled. This case involved a short nose tip with a deviated septum, and the procedure was carried out with consideration for both structural factors and aesthetic harmony.

I hope today’s post was helpful in understanding the process of upturned nose correction and improving nostril asymmetry.
