Low, Short Nose & Hump Nose Correction

* Basic Information

# Female in her 20s

# Low nasal bridge with an uneven line due to a hump

# Short-looking nose with a slightly upturned tip

* Consultation

# The patient was highly stressed by the uneven nasal line caused by a hump on a low bridge. We planned to create a natural yet sharp nasal line using septal cartilage and ear cartilage.

# She also wanted to improve the short appearance of her nose relative to her face shape caused by the upturned tip. We focused on the nasolabial angle by extending the tip to reduce nostril visibility from the front.

* Surgical Plan

# Bridge Rhinoplasty (Hump reduction, silicone implant)

# Tip Rhinoplasty (Extension graft with septal cartilage + Ear cartilage: Onlay graft)

* Post-operative Progress

# This patient had a low bridge with a very prominent unevenness along the nasal line.

# By smoothing the hump and raising the bridge, we transformed the line into something much smoother and more sophisticated.

# This was a satisfying case where nostril visibility from the front was significantly reduced, and the overall facial profile became more refined as the nose was heightened. ^^

Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions

How can a low, short nose and a hooked nose be improved?

Yes, a low, short nose and a hooked nose can be improved through bridge augmentation and tip plasty. In this case, the hump was trimmed, the bridge was raised with a silicone implant, and the nasal tip was extended using septal cartilage and ear cartilage to create a natural yet prominent nose line.

What materials can be used for rhinoplasty?

In this case, septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and a silicone implant were used for rhinoplasty. Septal cartilage was used to extend the nasal tip, and ear cartilage was grafted in layers to refine the tip shape, while a silicone implant was used for the nasal bridge.

Can a nose that appears short due to an upturned tip be improved?

Yes, a nose that appears short due to an upturned tip can be improved. In this case, the nasal tip was extended to make the nostrils less visible from the front, and attention was paid to the nasolabial angle to improve the impression of a nose that looked short compared to the face shape.

What changes can be expected after rhinoplasty?

After rhinoplasty, the bridge line can become smoother and more refined, and the nasal tip can be raised, reducing nostril exposure. In this case, a low and uneven nose was transformed into a refined line, and the overall facial line was also improved, resulting in satisfactory outcomes.

What are the possible complications or side effects after rhinoplasty?

Yes, complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry can occur after rhinoplasty. These may vary depending on the individual, so sufficient consultation and caution are required before surgery.
