A short nose should not be lengthened unconditionally!

<Real DM Plastic Surgery rhinoplasty case>

Noses, like eyes, come in many different shapes. Depending on their length, height, and shape, noses are at the center of the face, so they have a big impact on appearance.

Among them, the short nose, which is common among East Asians, is often called a upturned nose or pig nose, and it can easily give a rustic impression. As it can throw off the balance of the facial features and make it difficult to have a positive image, it has also been one of the nose shapes that people disliked, since physiognomy says it lets wealth leak away.

The cause of a short nose is usually a small nasal bone or cartilage, and it tends to reduce facial depth, making the face look flat.

It is also important to determine whether the nose is an upturned nose with the nostrils highly visible from the front, whether the alar cartilage at the tip is turned upward, or whether the nose is simply short in length. A proper surgery must be performed based on the specific nose type in order to achieve clear improvement and high satisfaction.

These types of noses can be improved by using an implant or autologous tissue to raise the low starting point of the nose. Today, let’s take a closer look at how short-nose surgery is performed :D

A short nose that is common among East Asians

As mentioned earlier, a short nose refers to a nose that is shorter than one-third of the total length of the face and is upturned, with the nostrils highly visible from the front. It also includes a nose that has become shorter due to contracture, one of the side effects of rhinoplasty.

For this type of nose, not only the height but also the length must be improved at the same time. If an implant is used without correction, it may become even shorter and look more upturned, making it one of the more difficult procedures among rhinoplasties.

If the alar cartilage at the tip of the nose is directed upward, the tip may look upturned and the nose may appear shorter. In such cases, improvement can be achieved through cartilage surgery. If the upper part of the alar cartilage at the tip is removed and then moved downward and fixed in place, the height of the nasal tip can be lowered and the length can be increased!

Even a short nose can look better!

At DM Plastic Surgery, through sufficient consultation with specialized eye and nose surgery medical staff whose skills have been proven through extensive clinical experience and know-how, we perform 1:1 customized rhinoplasty tailored to each person’s preferences and nose condition.

By accurately understanding the current condition and applying the appropriate surgical method, clear improvement is possible. We help improve the image into the most ideal nose by considering the overall proportions, harmony, and angles. In addition, 3D-CT analysis allows for a safer and more three-dimensional evaluation, and we identify even the internal structure, muscle layer, and skin tissue conditions that cannot be confirmed through a general consultation to establish an accurate surgical plan.

Surgical methods by short-nose type

If the alar cartilage that forms the tip of the nose is raised upward, a portion of the upper alar cartilage is removed through cartilage surgery and the position is lowered to correct it.

If correction is difficult with the cartilage surgery mentioned above, a portion of the alar cartilage is removed and septal cartilage is grafted between the ends to increase the length of the nasal tip.

After correcting the length of a short nose with the two surgical methods explained above, this method corrects the length and height of the bridge and nasal tip using an implant and autologous cartilage.

There are various methods, so the most important thing is to understand the condition and problem of the nose. The surgery must be performed with the method that is appropriate for the individual in order to achieve high satisfaction, and since it leads to clear improvement, we recommend visiting our clinic and receiving 충분한 consultation with experienced medical staff.
