Short Nose Rhinoplasty

* Basic Information

# Female in her 20s

# ‘My nose looks short and upturned. It also looks wide from the front, which is very stressful!’

* Consultation

# Her biggest concern was the short nasal tip, which made her nostrils overly visible from the front.

# She also requested correction for a bulbous nose. While traditionally called a ‘lucky nose’ in Korea, many now seek improvement due to its blunt and heavy appearance.

# We determined that refining the nasal tip while raising the bridge would result in a highly satisfying nasal profile.

* Surgical Plan

# Nasal Tip Surgery (Short nose correction, Bulbous nose refinement)

# Rhinoplasty Bridge (Implant, Osteotomy)

# Alar Reduction

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I consider short nose rhinoplasty?

Short nose rhinoplasty can be considered when the nose appears short and upturned, showing too much of the nostrils, or when the nose looks wide from the front. It can also be applied to improve a bulbous nose with a blunt tip.

Can a bulbous nose also be improved with short nose rhinoplasty?

Yes, it is possible. Many people wish to improve a bulbous nose due to its blunt appearance, and during short nose rhinoplasty, a blunt bulbous nose can be improved together with tip plasty.

What surgical methods are used for short nose rhinoplasty?

For short nose rhinoplasty, tip plasty is mainly used to improve a short nose and a bulbous nose, and bridge augmentation (implants, osteotomy) and alar reduction may also be planned. This creates a harmonious overall nasal line.

What kind of nose line can I expect after surgery?

After surgery, you can expect a straight-line nose that extends smoothly, transitioning from a round and cute nose. The short and blunt nose is improved, resulting in a more sophisticated image.

What are the possible side effects after short nose rhinoplasty?

Various complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery. Individual differences may exist, so caution is required, and a thorough consultation with a specialist is necessary.
