Dissatisfied with a Low Bridge and Sunken Nasolabial Angle?

* Basic Information

# Female in her 20s

# Low nasal bridge and a bulbous, wide-looking tip

# The nasolabial angle is deeply sunken, making the midface appear even more recessed.

* Consultation

# The patient’s primary concerns were the low bridge and the wide appearance of the nasal tip.

# She desired a straight-semi-basal (Jik-ban) line with overall dimension by enhancing the nasolabial angle.

* Surgical Plan

# Bridge Rhinoplasty

- Raising the bridge using an implant

# Tip Rhinoplasty

- Nasolabial angle correction

- Bulbous nose (복코) correction

* Post-operative Progress

1. In the post-operative results, a natural yet sharp straight-semi-basal tip was achieved without excessive nostril exposure.

2. As the bridge became smoothly elevated and the nasolabial angle was restored, the previously flat face gained dimension. This also created an effect where the face appeared smaller, leading to high patient satisfaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a low nose bridge be raised with surgery?

Yes, it is possible. In this case, a nose bridge augmentation was performed using an implant to raise the low nose bridge, improving the overall nose line.

What effects does nasolabial angle correction have?

Nasolabial angle correction adjusts the angle where the nose and philtrum meet, adding dimension to the midface. In this case, enhancing the nasolabial angle made the face appear more three-dimensional.

Can a bulbous nose also be corrected at the same time?

Yes, it can be corrected simultaneously. In this case, bulbous nose correction was performed along with nasolabial angle correction to improve the spread-out appearance of the nasal tip.

How does the nose line change after surgery?

After surgery, a natural yet sharp, semi-upward curved nose tip can be achieved. The nose bridge becomes smoothly higher, and the nasolabial angle is enhanced, improving overall facial dimension.

Can rhinoplasty make the face look smaller?

Yes, it is possible. As the nose bridge is raised and the nasolabial angle is enhanced, the previously flat-looking face gains dimension, creating the effect of a smaller face.

When can I check the post-operative progress?

In this case, the changes in the nose and the overall improvement in facial dimension could be confirmed through the 3-month post-operative photos.
