A Sophisticated, Three-Dimensional Look Achieved Through Short Nose Correction and Forehead Volumizing!
See how a 30-year-old patient achieved a sophisticated profile through short nose correction and full-face fat grafting after unsuccessful Hiko thread treatments.

* Basic Information
# Female in her 30s
# Medical History: 3 previous Hiko thread lift procedures (+)
# Complaints: Despite multiple Hiko treatments, there was no effect. The nose looks short, blunt, and upturned. The line connecting the forehead to the bridge of the nose is too flat.
* Consultation
# The patient visited us seeking correction for a short nose. She had undergone Hiko thread lifts three times based on recommendations that it would improve her condition, but she was never satisfied. (Of course, Hiko treatments can never truly correct a short nose!)
# We planned to improve the short nose while simultaneously creating a more three-dimensional facial shape by adding volume to the forehead.
* Surgical Plan
# Short Nose Rhinoplasty
- Removal of Hiko threads
- Tip plasty (Bulbous nose & Short nose correction)
- Nasal bridge implant
# Fat Grafting (Full face including forehead and temples)





* Post-operative Progress
# After correcting the short nose, a much more sophisticated and sleek nasal line was achieved, and the patient was very satisfied.
# She was particularly happy that the excessively visible nostrils were naturally lowered and that the line from the forehead to the bridge of the nose became more elegant!
# When planning rhinoplasty, you shouldn’t look at the nose in isolation. You must consider the overall proportions and changes of the entire face to find ideal beauty!
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
