Revision Rhinoplasty for a Blunt and Short Nose by Dr. Young Moon Yoo of VIBE Plastic Surgery

👀 Pre-Surgery Concerns

: Despite having previous nose surgery, the patient was dissatisfied because the tip of the nose still appeared blunt and short.

: The overall impression felt strong and stifling, and most importantly, the patient expressed feeling self-conscious whenever looking in the mirror.

📝 Surgical Plan

: Correction of a bulbous and short nose using autologous rib cartilage

• Stable reconstruction of the nasal columella and tip using autologous rib cartilage
• Refining the blunt bulbous nose and designing the short nose to appear naturally longer
• Focusing on a natural and feminine line rather than excessive height

🛌 Post-Surgery Changes: Towards a Soft and Sophisticated Image

The nose was refined into a more delicate and slim line, completely improving the previously short and blunt impression.

A sense of three-dimensionality was added to the entire face, transforming the overall vibe into something more sophisticated.

Above all, the patient regained a lot of confidence due to feedback from others saying, ‘You look different, but it doesn’t look like you had surgery.’

😊 Post-Surgery Satisfaction

The patient mentioned that their self-esteem regarding their appearance rose significantly, and they became much more confident in daily life, whether taking photos or meeting people.

‘I hear a lot that my impression has become softer. Now, I smile when I look in the mirror.’

Hearing this comment was truly rewarding.
