Get a Great Nose and Rhinitis Relief Together! At VIBE Plastic Surgery :)

* Basic Information

# Male in his 20s

# Aesthetic concerns: An uneven nasal bridge due to a hump, and a drooping nasal tip.

# Functional concerns: Nasal congestion and rhinitis symptoms caused by a deviated septum!

* Consultation

# We planned to improve the uneven appearance caused by the hump. Since the drooping tip made the nose look overall long and gave an aged impression, we aimed to refine these features.

# We also decided to address the breathing discomfort caused by rhinitis simultaneously.

* Surgical Plan

# Bridge Rhinoplasty (Hump reduction, osteotomy, silicone implant)

# Tip Rhinoplasty (Bulbous tip and drooping tip correction)

# Functional Rhinoplasty

* Post-operative Progress

# We used osteotomy and an implant to raise the bridge, creating a slim and sophisticated look.

# To correct the aged impression caused by a long, drooping tip, we used autologous cartilage to create a well-defined, upright nasal tip.

# As the nose became more defined, the overall facial profile transformed into a masculine yet refined look. This was a highly satisfying case as it improved both aesthetic appearance and functional rhinitis issues.

# When undergoing nose surgery, functional aspects must be considered. If you have difficulty breathing, resolve it at the same time!

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have rhinitis surgery and nose aesthetic surgery at the same time?

Yes, it is possible. As in the case of this 20-year-old male patient, nose aesthetic surgery can be planned to simultaneously improve rhinitis symptoms caused by a deviated septum and cosmetic problems such as a hooked nose and a droopy nasal tip. You can achieve both functional improvement and aesthetic satisfaction.

How is hooked nose correction performed?

Hooked nose correction involves trimming the hump and performing osteotomy, and if necessary, using silicone implants to improve the bridge line. This can transform a bumpy nose bridge into a slender and sophisticated look.

What surgery is performed when the nasal tip appears droopy?

Nasal tip aesthetic surgery is performed to improve the impression of a droopy nasal tip that makes the nose look long or aged. In this case, autologous cartilage was used to correct the droopy nasal tip, creating a sophisticated impression.

Can rhinitis symptoms improve after nose aesthetic surgery?

Yes, they can improve. If functional problems such as a deviated septum are present, functional nose aesthetic surgery can be performed simultaneously to alleviate rhinitis symptoms and improve breathing difficulties.

In what cases is autologous cartilage used for nose aesthetic surgery?

Autologous cartilage is mainly used for nasal tip aesthetic surgery. In this case, autologous cartilage was used to correct a droopy nasal tip, improving the impression of a long and aged-looking nose.
