Low Nose Rhinoplasty (+ Forehead Fat Grafting)

* Basic Information

# Teenage female

# Low and blunt nose

# Flat forehead lacking volume

* Consultation

# The patient desired improvement for a low nasal bridge and a blunt nasal tip.

# Lack of volume and unevenness were also observed in the forehead area.

# We planned to raise the nose while simultaneously performing fat grafting on the forehead to create a voluminous and smooth facial shape. Since there was a slight tendency toward a receding chin, the chin tip was also included in the plan.

* Surgical Plan

# Rhinoplasty - Bridge (Silicone implant)

# Rhinoplasty - Tip (Septal cartilage: extension graft + Ear cartilage: onlay graft)

# Fat Grafting (Forehead, temples, chin tip)

* Post-operative Progress

# The nasal tip was made more defined and pointed using septal and ear cartilage.

# By adding volume to the forehead and chin at the same time, the overall facial line was completed with a much more sophisticated image.

# When planning rhinoplasty, you should not look at the nose in isolation, but rather consider the entire line connecting from the forehead to the nose and down to the chin.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are used for low nose augmentation?

For bridge augmentation, silicone implants are used, and for tip augmentation, we use extended grafts with septal cartilage and overlapping grafts with ear cartilage to create a sharp, defined tip. This may vary depending on the individual's nose condition and desired shape.

Why is forehead fat grafting performed along with nose augmentation?

When performing nose augmentation, it's not just about raising the nose, but also considering the harmony of the entire facial line from the forehead to the nose and chin. Giving volume to the forehead through fat grafting can make the facial line appear smoother and more sophisticated.

Which areas are treated with fat grafting?

In this case, fat grafting was performed on the forehead to improve the lack of volume and unevenness. Additionally, fat grafting was planned for the temples and the chin, which had a slight receding tendency, to balance the overall face.

What kind of facial line changes can be expected after nose augmentation?

After nose augmentation, the nasal tip becomes sharper, and simultaneously, volume is created in the forehead and chin, completing a much more sophisticated facial line. A natural line extending from the forehead to the nose and chin is important.

What should be considered when undergoing nose augmentation?

When planning nose augmentation, one should not only look at the nose but also consider the harmony of the overall facial line extending from the forehead to the nose and chin. Additionally, complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery, so caution is required.
