Short Nose Correction?! At VIBE Plastic Surgery!

* Basic Information

# Female in her 20s

# Main Complaints: The tip of my nose is bulbous and short, and it looks spread out.

* Consultation

# Her biggest stress was that her nostrils were very visible because the tip of her nose was short. We decided to reduce the visibility of the nostrils through short nose correction.

# In the past, a ‘bulbous nose’ was said to bring good fortune, but many people now want to improve it because it can give a blunt or heavy impression.

# I believed we could achieve a satisfying result by slimming down the nasal tip, raising the bridge, and smoothing the overall line through short nose correction.

* Plan

# Tip Plasty (Short Nose & Bulbous Nose Correction)

# Rhinoplasty (Bridge Implant)

* Post-operative Progress

# You can see that as the bulbous and short nasal tip was corrected, the visibility of the nostrils significantly decreased.

# If the nostrils are too visible, the nose looks short and can give an unfavorable impression. The size of the visible nostril area must be reduced through accurate cause analysis.

What if your nostrils are too visible?? (1) If the alae (nostril wings) are upturned -> Short nose correction, Alar rim lowering (2) If the columella is drooping -> Columella correction (3) If the alae are wide -> Alar reduction

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

Frequently Asked Questions

When is short nose correction necessary?

Short nose correction is necessary when the tip of the nose is short, exposing too much of the nostrils, or when a short nose gives an unfavorable impression. In particular, if the alar cartilage is upturned, revealing a lot of the nostrils, it can be improved through short nose correction or alar rim lowering.

Can a bulbous nose be corrected at the same time?

Yes, a bulbous nose can be corrected at the same time. In the case presented in the post, a satisfactory result was achieved by simultaneously performing short nose correction and refining a blunt bulbous nose through tip plasty.

What are the causes of excessive nostril show?

There are three main causes of excessive nostril show: upturned alar cartilage, a drooping columella, or flared nostrils. Depending on the cause, improvement can be considered through methods such as short nose correction, alar rim lowering, columella correction, or alar reduction.

What kind of surgical plan is made for short nose correction?

For short nose correction, a customized plan is made according to the patient's nasal condition. In the case example, tip plasty (short nose and bulbous nose correction) and dorsal augmentation (implant) were performed to refine the nasal tip and raise the bridge line, completing a sleek nasal profile.

What changes can be expected after short nose correction?

After short nose correction, you can expect a noticeable reduction in nostril exposure as the blunt and short nasal tip is corrected. This can improve the impression of a short nose and achieve a sleek nasal profile.
