Long Nose Surgery Before and After Photos: Removal of Drooping Tip Muscle, Removal of Hump, High and Elegant Nose > O.P Column

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

Today, I would like to present before and after photos of a long nose surgery.

The patient wanted to make the nose appear slightly shorter because it was a bit long, and had concerns about scars and recovery due to keloid-prone skin.

Since the patient had previously undergone nose filler and Hiko thread procedures, we started by dissolving these materials before proceeding with the surgery.

In the pre-surgery photos, the nasal tip appears droopy.

We performed the removal of the drooping tip muscle to excise the muscle pulling the tip downward.

Since the cartilage at the tip was separated, we also performed cartilage stitching to lift the nasal tip.

Additionally, because the bridge of the nose was slightly lower compared to the brow, we crushed and grafted some cartilage to the brow area.

We also performed surgery to smooth out the hump on the bridge of the nose.

In the post-surgery photos, you can see a significantly higher and more refined appearance.

The nasal tip cartilage stitching has narrowed the nostrils and elevated the tip.

From the front view, the previously wide appearance of the nose has been corrected.

Fortunately, despite concerns about keloid-prone skin, the surgical scars have healed well.

If you want to make the nasal tip appear shorter, raising the angle of the tip can generally make it look shorter and more feminine.

Compared to before the surgery, the nose now appears more feminine while avoiding the appearance of being too long.
