Short Nose Revision Surgery!

* Basic Information

# Female in her 20s

# Medical History: Underwent nasal tip cartilage tying several years ago

# Main Complaints: The nose became shorter after the previous surgery, making the nostrils very visible. I also want to improve the bulbous look of my nose!

* Consultation

1. She had nose surgery several years ago, but was dissatisfied because the tip was too short and blunt.

2. We planned to lengthen the nasal tip while making it more defined and sophisticated.

* Surgical Plan

1. Bridge Rhinoplasty

- Augmentation

- Hump correction

2. Tip Rhinoplasty

- Bulbous nose correction

- Short nose correction

* Post-operative Progress

# You can see that the bulbous tip has been corrected, and at the same time, the visibility of the nostrils has significantly decreased.

# A short nose with excessive nostril visibility can give a somewhat ‘light’ or less refined impression. Therefore, the height and length must be sufficiently extended to create a sophisticated and high-end look.

# When performing short nose surgery, especially revision cases, it is crucial to sufficiently dissect scar tissue and build a strong internal support structure so that the tip tissue can be fully extended and maintained.

# Excessive nostril visibility makes the nose look shorter and can create an unfavorable impression. The visible nostril size must be reduced through accurate cause analysis.

What if your nostrils are too visible?? (1) If the tip itself is short and upturned -> Short nose correction (2) If only the alar rims are retracted -> Alar rim lowering (3) If the columella is drooping -> Columella correction (4) If the nostrils are wide -> Alar reduction

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

Frequently Asked Questions

In what cases is short nose revision surgery necessary?

Yes, it may be necessary if you are dissatisfied with your nose tip being too short or blunt after a previous nose surgery, or if your nostrils are too visible, making your impression seem light. It helps to extend the length of the nose tip and create a sophisticated impression.

What are the important considerations for short nose revision surgery?

Yes, during short nose revision surgery, it is important to sufficiently dissect scar tissue and firmly establish a support structure inside the nose so that the nasal tip tissue can be adequately extended and maintained. This ensures stable and satisfactory results.

What causes the nostrils to be very visible?

Yes, there are various reasons why nostrils may be very visible. These include cases where the nose tip itself is short and upturned, only the alar cartilages are upturned, the columella is drooping, or the alar cartilages are flared. Accurate analysis of the cause is necessary for appropriate correction.

Can a bulbous nose also be improved with short nose revision surgery?

Yes, bulbous nose correction can be performed concurrently when planning short nose revision surgery. By including bulbous nose correction during the nose tip shaping process, a blunt nose tip can be improved, making the overall nose shape sharper and more refined.

What is the process for short nose revision surgery?

Yes, short nose revision surgery typically involves bridge augmentation (rhinoplasty, hump correction) and nose tip plasty (bulbous nose correction, short nose correction). It is planned to extend the length of the nose tip and improve the overall nose shape according to the patient's concerns and nasal condition.
