Before and After Photos of a Long, Low Nose Surgery: Creating a Defined, Beautiful Profile Without Alar Reduction > O.P Column

Hello, this is Dr. Kim Hyung-taek from Kowon Plastic Surgery Clinic.

Today, I’d like to introduce a case of surgery for a long and low nose.

Patients with this nose shape often appear to have a flat and lifeless facial profile.

In the pre-surgery photo, you can see that the nasal bridge is low and the nasal tip is broad, giving a blunt appearance.

The side view shows that the nose appears slightly long.

In the post-surgery frontal view, the once blunt nasal tip has been significantly improved.

Additionally, we performed a correction to the depressor septi nasi muscle to lift the nasal tip.

From the base view, the nasal tip has been elevated, and the nostrils are now in a more natural position.

With this level of alar shape, proper elevation of the nasal tip is often sufficient to achieve a beautiful result without the need for alar reduction.

From the side view, the facial contours are visibly improved, adding dimension to the face.

The difference between the pre- and post-surgery appearance is striking.

The face now looks much more vibrant and attractive.
