Short Nose Rhinoplasty (Revision)
A case study of a female patient in her 50s who underwent revision rhinoplasty to correct a nose that shortened over decades after her initial surgery.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 50s
# ‘My nose seems to be getting shorter and shorter after having surgery decades ago.’
* Consultation
# The patient felt that her nose had gradually shortened since undergoing rhinoplasty with an implant several decades ago.
# She also wanted to correct a slight deviation of the nasal tip and asymmetrical nostrils.
* Surgical Plan
# Bridge Rhinoplasty (Implant replacement)
# Tip Rhinoplasty (Short nose correction, nostril asymmetry correction)
* Post-operative Progress
# If the nose is short and the nostrils are highly visible, it can give a somewhat ‘light’ or less refined impression. Therefore, extending the height and length sufficiently is necessary to create a sophisticated and elegant look.
# When performing short nose rhinoplasty, it is crucial to thoroughly dissect the scar tissue and build a strong internal support structure so that the nasal tip tissue can be adequately extended and maintained.
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
