Short Nose and Upturned Nose Before and After Photos: Septal Extension, Asymmetric Nostril Correction > O.P Column

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

Today, I am sharing before and after photos of a surgery for a short and upturned nose.

In the front view, the nasal tip is quite short, with the nostrils visible. From the side view, the nasal tip appears upturned, similar to a pig-like nose.

Although the bridge of the nose appears somewhat elevated, it was actually filled with filler, which was dissolved and removed before the surgery.

 

For the bridge, we used a 4mm medium-sized silicone implant to achieve a natural look.

We also used ear cartilage in addition to the septal cartilage due to a lack of sufficient septal material.

We performed a slight reduction of a low hump on the bridge.

To address the short nasal tip, we stacked about five layers of cartilage to extend the length as much as possible.

After the surgery, the nasal tip has become longer, significantly changing the overall facial appearance.

The nose now looks more natural, feminine, and refined.

The nasal tip has narrowed and elevated, giving a more defined appearance.

Before the surgery, there was a slight asymmetry in the nostrils due to a deviated septum.

Since perfect correction is challenging, some minor asymmetry may remain.

​

In the after photos, you can see that the nasal tip has been sufficiently extended.
