Achieving a Youthful Look with Hump and Long Nose Correction plus Fat Grafting :)

* Basic Information

# Female in her late teens

# Unevenness caused by a low, drooping nasal tip and a dorsal hump

# Flat facial profile due to lack of volume

* Consultation

# The patient’s biggest stress was that her face lacked dimension because the tip of her nose was low and droopy. We planned to create an ideal nasolabial angle at the tip while performing bulbous nose correction.

# We also decided to address the unevenness of the bridge caused by the dorsal hump.

# Her forehead was uneven and the overall lack of facial volume made her face appear longer. To overcome these drawbacks, we planned a full-face fat grafting procedure together with the rhinoplasty.

* Surgical Plan

# Bridge Rhinoplasty

- Hump correction

- Silicone implant

# Nasal Tip Surgery

- Bulbous nose correction

- Long nose correction

# Full-face Fat Grafting

* Post-operative Progress

1. In the post-operative results, a natural yet sharp nasal tip was achieved without excessive nostril exposure, exactly as the patient requested.

2. By shortening the long, drooping tip, a much more youthful facial shape was completed ^^

3. The wide bridge became narrower and higher, drawing focus to the center of the face. This added dimension to a previously flat profile, creating an effect where the face looks smaller, which the patient was very satisfied with.

4. Creating volume across the entire face through full-face fat grafting allows for a much more natural and ideal facial contour and nose line.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

What concerns did the patient in this case have?

The patient was concerned about a low and droopy nasal tip, a bumpy nasal bridge due to a dorsal hump, and a flat, long-looking face shape due to a lack of facial volume. The low nasal tip, in particular, was the biggest source of stress as it made her face appear less立体.

What surgical plan was established?

A rhinoplasty was planned, including nasal tip plasty to correct the low and droopy tip, addressing both a bulbous nose and a long nose, along with dorsal hump correction and nasal bridge augmentation using silicone implants. Additionally, full-face fat grafting was planned to address the lack of facial volume.

What changes occurred after the nose surgery?

After the surgery, a natural yet sharp nasal tip was achieved, and the previously long and droopy tip became shorter, resulting in a more youthful face shape. The wide nasal bridge became narrower and higher, creating a more立体 face and a smaller-looking effect.

Why was full-face fat grafting performed concurrently?

Full-face fat grafting was planned concurrently to overcome the patient's uneven forehead and overall lack of facial volume, which made her face appear longer. This allowed for the creation of a much more natural and ideal face shape and nose line.

What are the advantages of combining nose surgery and fat grafting?

By improving the shape of the nose with rhinoplasty and creating overall facial volume with full-face fat grafting, the face gains more立体ity, resulting in a more natural and ideal face shape and nose line. This is effective in creating a more youthful appearance.
