Protruding Mouth Rhinoplasty + Cat Surgery Introduced by Dr. Seo Seung-jo of Uber Plastic Surgery! Can It Improve a Protruding Mouth, Lantern Jaw, and Narrow Nasolabial Angle?

Hello, this is Uber Plastic Surgery!

Today's topic for "Uber Informs" is

protruding mouth rhinoplasty.

When you hear protruding mouth rhinoplasty,

you might find it a bit unfamiliar!

Today, along with Dr. Seo Seung-jo of Uber Plastic Surgery,

we will learn more about it in detail!

Usually, if you have a protruding mouth,

you might consider double jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery),

but protruding mouth rhinoplasty is a procedure that combines

rhinoplasty and cat surgery.

Here, cat surgery is also known as nasolabial angle surgery,

and it is a surgery that improves a narrow nasolabial angle

by grafting autologous cartilage into the philtrum connecting the nose and mouth!

Then, let's first look into the types of protruding mouths

that are suitable for protruding mouth rhinoplasty.

To give you a little TMI,

Dr. Seo Seung-jo of Uber Plastic Surgery also

has a slightly recessed chin,

while his mouth protrudes and his nasolabial angle is relatively large,

so he can be considered to have a protruding mouth!

The first type is like Dr. Seo Seung-jo of Uber Plastic Surgery,

where the chin is recessed and the mouth protrudes,

giving the side profile a rounder rather than a three-dimensional feel.

The second type is when the midface is deeply sunken

while the mouth appears to protrude.

This is also commonly referred to as a lantern jaw.

Unlike Dr. Seo Seung-jo's case, in this type,

the nasolabial angle is mostly curled deeply inward.

The type we recommend for protruding mouth rhinoplasty,

which is today's topic for "Uber Informs,"

is the second type, where the midface is sunken while the lower face protrudes,

making the mouth look like it's sticking out.

Recently, columella fillers (nasolabial angle fillers) have been trending.

However, if the columella is brought out through filler injections,

the nose can sometimes appear short and unnatural.

Therefore, for those who feel that their midface

looks compressed or sunken,

rather than just a filler procedure, we recommend

undergoing nose elevation and columella filling together!

This will give you a much more three-dimensional look,

and even if an implant is placed in the nose, you will achieve a much more natural feel!

For a nose to look beautiful, the shape of the nose itself is important,

but the harmony between the face and the nose is crucial.

In that regard, the biggest advantage of protruding mouth rhinoplasty is

that it sets the harmony of the nasal tip - lips - chin tip line as its main goal,

allowing for a highly satisfying rhinoplasty procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of surgery is Protruding Mouth Rhinoplasty?

Yes, it is a surgery that combines rhinoplasty and cat surgery (nasolabial angle surgery). Instead of double jaw surgery, it raises the nose and implants autologous cartilage into the philtrum, which connects the nose and mouth, to improve the narrow nasolabial angle, thereby correcting a protruding mouth.

What is Cat Surgery (Nasolabial Angle Surgery)?

It is a surgery that involves implanting autologous cartilage into the philtrum area, which connects the nose and mouth. It fills in a sunken or narrow nasolabial angle, making the mouth appear less protruding and enhancing the three-dimensionality of the face.

Which face shape is Protruding Mouth Rhinoplasty most recommended for?

It is most recommended for those with a sunken mid-face and a protruding mouth, often seen in prognathism. If the nasolabial angle is rolled inward, performing nose augmentation and columella filling together can achieve a much more three-dimensional and natural result.

Is it possible to improve a protruding mouth with nasolabial angle filler treatment?

Yes, it is possible, but caution is needed. If the columella is filled with filler, the nose may appear short and unnatural. Therefore, if the mid-face appears sunken, surgical methods using cartilage are more recommended than fillers.

What is the biggest advantage of Protruding Mouth Rhinoplasty?

The biggest advantage is that it can improve the harmony of the line connecting the nasal tip, lips, and chin. It does not simply change the shape of the nose but considers the overall facial proportions, resulting in very high satisfaction after surgery.
