Rhinoplasty by Type: Which Rhinoplasty Do I Need?

Hello!

There's a lot of fine dust today tooㅠㅠ

Everyone, be careful not to catch a cold

and make sure to wear a mask!!!

This time, we will learn about

rhinoplasty tailored to each individual's nose shape :)

Everyone has a different nose shape!What kind of rhinoplasty do I need?

Not everyone has the same nose,

so if you're not sure what suits you best,

shall we ask the God of Noses, Dr. Seo Seung-jo~?

Hello, I'm the God of Noses! Dr. Seo Seung-jo ^^ I will tell you about rhinoplasty by type!

Bulbous Nose

Flat Nose

Short and Upturned Nose

Hump Nose

Deviated Nose

Long and Arrow Nose

etc.

I will explain in detail

for each of the various nose shapes!

What is a Bulbous Nose?Generally, it refers to a nose that looks large because the skin at the nasal tip is thick or blunt. In the past, this type of nose was called a "lucky nose" as a symbol of abundance, but recently, more and more people want to correct it because it gives an unrefined impression.

Bulbous Nose Surgery Method

In most bulbous nose surgeries,

there are many cases of failure due to

an incorrect approach to the various causes of a bulbous nose.

At Uber Plastic Surgery,

through a systematic analysis of the causes of a bulbous nose,

we strive to create a refined and slim nose!

What is a Flat Nose?Literally, it refers to a nose that lacks dimensionality because the nasal bridge is low or the nose is small. Most Asians have a low nose and a depressed midface, giving a flat impression to the face.In this case, raising the nose can give the face dimensionality and a refined image!

Flat Nose Surgery Method

The nasal bridge is mainly raised using an implant,

and the nasal tip is raised using autologous tissue

to create a balanced and refined nose.

What is a Short / Upturned Nose?It is a nose where the overall length is short or the nasal tip is highly upturned, making the nostrils very visible from the front.The development of the septal cartilage is weak, and the alar cartilages are often small. It makes the face look flat and gives an unrefined impression because the nostrils are exposed!

Short / Upturned Nose Surgery Method

The nasal bridge is mainly raised using an implant,

and the nasal tip is raised using autologous tissue

to create a balanced and refined nose.

Inserting a high implant

does not necessarily result in a high and refined nose!

Through rhinoplasty by type,

accurate and systematic analysis is important.

What is a Hump Nose?It refers to a nose where the middle part of the nasal dorsum, where the nasal bone, septal cartilage, and upper lateral cartilage meet, protrudes.This is mostly caused by genetic factors, but it can also occur when the bone and cartilage grow excessively during the healing process of a trauma.A hump nose accompanied by a drooping nasal tip or a short nose often gives a strong or unrefined impression!

Hump Nose Surgery Method

1. When the nasal bridge is not high and has a mild bump

The protruding nasal dorsum is slightly shaved down,

and an implant is carved to fit the curve of the nasal dorsum

to raise the bridge and resolve the hump nose.

2. When the nasal bridge is high and has a hump

The hump is partially removed to the desired height,

and after raising the nasal tip, the slightly curved nasal dorsum

is partially grafted with cartilage and dermis

to resolve it without raising the nasal bridge.

What is a Deviated Nose?It refers to a case where the axis of the nose, including the nasal bridge and tip, is bent or deviates from the central axis of the face. It can occur due to congenital facial asymmetry or deformation of the nasal bone and cartilage caused by trauma. Such a deviated nose not only affects the overall impression of the face but can also cause functional problems such as nasal congestion!

Deviated Nose Surgery Method

1. Nasal Axis Correction

If only the nasal cartilage is deviated, osteotomy is

not performed; only the protruding part is shaved down,

and the deviated upper lateral cartilage is separated

from the septal cartilage to perform spreader grafts, etc.,

to straighten it.

2. Septoplasty

Most deviated noses are accompanied by

nasal congestion and nostril asymmetry

due to the deviation of the septal cartilage.

Through septoplasty,

the deviated septum must be corrected

to not only improve function but also

straighten the axis of the nose.

What is a Long / Arrow Nose?It refers to a case where the nose exceeds 1/3 of the face, or the nasal tip droops and the alae sag.In this case, it gives an older-looking impression.

Long / Arrow Nose Surgery Method

Using septal cartilage or ear cartilage,

the alar cartilage is rotated upwards and fixed,

and to prevent recurrence, the depressor septi nasi muscle

is resected.

I'm not sure if the explanation was conveyed well hehe

See you next time with better information~

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a bulbous nose correction performed?

Bulbous nose correction is performed by systematically analyzing the cause of the bulbous nose to create a refined and slim nose. It's not just about raising the tip of the nose; approaching the surgery according to the specific cause of thick or blunt nasal tip skin is crucial to reduce surgical failure and achieve satisfactory results.

Do I always need to insert an implant during hump nose surgery?

No, the surgical method varies depending on the height of the nasal bridge. If the nasal bridge is low, the protruding part is slightly shaved, and an implant is used. However, if the nasal bridge is already high, only the hump can be partially removed, and the nasal bridge can be corrected without an implant through cartilage or dermal grafting.

Can correcting a deviated nose also improve nasal congestion?

Yes, functional problems like nasal congestion can be improved simultaneously. A deviated nose often accompanies a deviated septum, so by correcting the deviated septum through septoplasty, the central axis of the nose is straightened, resolving nasal congestion symptoms at the same time.

How are long noses or arrow noses surgically corrected?

Long or arrow noses are corrected by rotating and fixing the drooping nasal tip upwards. Septal cartilage or ear cartilage is used to raise the alar cartilage, and the depressor septi nasi muscle is resected to prevent the nose from drooping again after surgery, improving an aged appearance.

What is the surgical method for a short and upturned nose?

For a short and upturned nose, an implant is used for the nasal bridge, and autologous tissue is used for the nasal tip to extend the length of the nose and achieve balance. It's important not to simply insert a high implant, but to accurately analyze the individual's facial proportions and the development of the septal cartilage to create a sophisticated nose shape.
