Short Nose Correction

This surgical procedure corrects a condition where, when viewed from the front, the tip of the nose points upwards,
and the nostrils are visible. It aims to extend the length of the nose to harmonize with the facial proportions.

What is NANA's

Short Nose Surgery?

Commonly known as a "upturned nose" or "short nose," a short nose
appears with the tip of the nose pointing upwards, exposing the nostrils.
It occurs due to the small size of the nasal bones, septal cartilage, and
inadequate skin tissue at the nasal tip. Short Nose Correction surgery involves
adjusting the position of the septal cartilage and the nasal tip, in order
to achieve a nose length that harmonizes with the proportions of the
face. It's a challenging surgical procedure as it requires not only the
correction of the septal cartilage and nasal tip but also the extension
of the inner mucous membrane and skin tissue.

What is the ideal angle
and
length for the side
profile
we envision?

The ideal length of the nose is when it constitutes one-third of the
vertical length of the face, and the angle between the forehead and
the nose should be around 130 degrees, while the angle between
the nose and lips is between 90 and 95 degrees. If the angle
formed between the nose tip and lips is greater than 110
degrees, it can give the appearance of a short or "upturned" nose.

Types that may require

short nose surgery

The need for short nose surgery isn't solely based on noses
where the nostrils are visible;
it can also be necessary for
cases with a longer nose length.

  • Short nasal bridge type requiring short nose correction at NANA Plastic Surgery Korea Short nasal bridge type requiring short nose correction at NANA Plastic Surgery Korea

    Noses with a short nasal bridge

    Noses where the length from the starting
    point of the bridge to the tip is shorter than
    what's proportionate to the face.

  • Significant upward nasal tip angle type requiring short nose correction at NANA Significant upward nasal tip angle type requiring short nose correction at NANA

    Cases with a significant upward tip angle

    Even when the nose length is relatively long,
    if the nose tip appears to be pointing upwards,
    creating a significant upward tip angle.

  • Upturned pig nose type with elevated nostrils requiring short nose correction at NANA Upturned pig nose type with elevated nostrils requiring short nose correction at NANA

    Resembling a "pig's nose"

    Cases where the nose length is long, but the
    nostrils are upturned and the tip is elevated, creating
    a nose appearance that resembles a "pig's nose."

Short Nose

Surgery Method

In the field of nasal reshaping, which is considered challenging among rhinoplasty procedures,
accurate analysis and skilled surgical techniques by a specialized surgeon are crucial.

#01

Before surgery, 3D-CT imaging is used to accurately assess the internal
structure of the nose, including width, asymmetry, and length.

#02

The entire nasal tissue is expanded to secure length, and the cartilage
of the nasal tip is separated from the dorsal cartilage.

#03

In the space created by the separation, non-septal cartilage is
used for extension grafting.

#04

The nasal tip cartilage is fixed to the extended non-septal cartilage,
lowering the cartilage while simultaneously raising the nasal bridge.

Advantages of Short Nose

Reshaping at Nana

The nose's connective tissues and skin are elongated

seamlessly, bringing down the previously raised nasal
tip
to create a naturally beautiful angle.

Adequate dissection of cartilage skin and connective tissue to elongate short nose skin at NANA

Adequate Dissection

Thorough dissection of cartilage, skin, and
connective tissues allows for the elongation of
short skin, preventing recurrence.

Robust cartilage support structure to lower nasal tip and prevent tip elevation recurrence at NANA

Robust Cartilage

Support Structure

Creating a sturdy cartilage support structure to
lower the nasal tip and prevent the phenomenon
of nasal tip elevation.

Selection of appropriate filling materials non-septal ear or rib cartilage for short nose at NANA

Selection of Appropriate

Filling Materials

Choosing suitable filling materials, such
as non-septal cartilage, ear cartilage, or rib cartilage,
based on the patient's condition.

Straight cartilage structure to prevent nasal bending after short nose correction at NANA

Straight Cartilage

Structure

Ensuring a straight cartilage structure to prevent the nose from
bending under any circumstances, as undue stress on the
cartilage structure is avoided in any process.

Q&A

  • Q I'm considering surgery due to a flat nose bridge.Will the implant be
    noticeable if I have thin skin?
    A If you have concerns about thin skin, excessive implant height may lead to visibility or an artificial appearance.
    However, various alternatives, such as naturally inserting a lower implant, using your own dermal fat to replace the implant,
    or encapsulating the implant with tissues like the periosteum, offer ways to address this issue.
    With accurate examinations and thorough consultations with a plastic surgery specialist, you can achieve satisfying results.
