Short & Low Nose Rhinoplasty

* Basic Information

# Female in her 20s

# Low nose that appears short due to a slightly upturned tip

* Consultation

# Due to her low bridge, she had tried fillers, but the filler spread out, making the bridge too thick and giving her a strong ‘Avatar-like’ appearance, which was a major concern.

# She wanted to improve the short appearance, minimize nostril visibility, and achieve a glamorous semi-curved (Ban-beoseon) line.

# Because of the low nose, her midface appeared sunken and her mouth looked relatively protruded; she hoped to improve these aspects as well.

* Plan

# Bridge Rhinoplasty (Dissolving fillers, silicone implant)

# Tip Rhinoplasty (Septal extension graft, short nose correction)

* Post-operative Progress

# By improving the low bridge and short tip, the overall line has become much more sophisticated.

# This was a satisfying case where the nose was raised glamorously without showing too much of the nostrils, refining the entire facial profile. Notably, as the nose became higher, the midface gained volume, which also made the mouth protrusion appear corrected!

My bridge and tip were so low that I used to get fillers, but the tip didn’t improve at all and only the bridge got wider, giving me that ‘Avatar nose’ look. That’s why I decided to have surgery ㅠㅠ! I had consultations at four different places, but because my nose was so small and low, when I showed them photos of the style I wanted, they all said ‘this kind of nose is difficult’ or ‘do you really think your nose can look like this?’. I was getting discouraged until I met Dr. Young-moon Yoo. He confidently told me that the line I wanted was definitely possible and that he could raise the height as much as possible. His confidence is why I chose VIBE Plastic Surgery. I used silicone for the bridge and ear cartilage/septum for the tip. After surgery, breathing through my mouth because of the packing and some pain for the first 2-3 days (maybe because of the septal work) was a bit tough, but I loved that there was almost no swelling! Now that a month has passed, the swelling has gone down and the nose has settled naturally. I’m so happy with it. I wanted a glamorous look, so I kept asking to ‘make it as high as possible’ right until the surgery started, and it actually turned out higher than I expected. I’m 100% satisfied!! My friends all say it turned out great and looks beautiful. It came out in the exact semi-curved line I wanted, so I’m very happy. The bridge is perfectly smooth without any bumps, which I think is a testament to the doctor’s skill! Thank you, Doctor, for recreating my nose 🙇🏻‍♀️ - Real Patient Review

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

Frequently Asked Questions

How is short nose rhinoplasty performed?

Short nose rhinoplasty is performed by extending the nasal tip. In this case, a septal extension graft was used to correct the short nose and make the nostrils less visible. A silicone implant was used on the bridge of the nose to create the overall line.

Is it possible to have low nose rhinoplasty even if I have experience with fillers?

Yes, it is possible. The patient in this case also had fillers for a low nose, but was concerned about the spreading phenomenon making it look like an 'avatar nose'. After dissolving the fillers before surgery, a bridge rhinoplasty was performed to create a natural line.

Can rhinoplasty improve a protruding mouth?

Yes, it can be improved. In this case, the low nose made the midface appear sunken, which relatively made the mouth look protruding. As the nose was raised, the midface became more prominent, achieving the effect of correcting the protruding mouth.

Can it be difficult to achieve the desired nose line?

No, that's not the case. In this case, other hospitals said it would be difficult, but Director Yoo Young-moon confidently stated that the desired line could be achieved. You can consult to confirm the possible lines according to your individual nose condition.

What materials can be used for rhinoplasty?

In this case, a silicone implant was used for the bridge of the nose, and a septal extension graft and ear cartilage were used for tip rhinoplasty. Various materials suitable for the patient can be used according to the surgical plan.
