Short Nose Correction!!
A case study of a woman in her 50s who underwent rhinoplasty to correct a short nose, bulbous tip, and low bridge, improving both aesthetics and functional comfort.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 50s
# Primary Complaints: The bridge of the nose is so low that glasses keep sliding down. The tip of the nose is bulbous and short.
* Consultation
# She mentioned that the most uncomfortable part was her glasses sliding down due to the low bridge. Although she had wanted surgery for a long time, she was too afraid to go through with it until now, when she finally made the big decision!
# She was also stressed by the fact that her nostrils were very visible because her nose was quite short.
# We anticipated a satisfying result by refining the nasal tip, raising the bridge line, and smoothing the overall profile through short nose correction.
* Plan
# Tip Plasty (Bulbous Nose & Short Nose Correction)
# Rhinoplasty (Bridge Implant)
* Post-operative Progress
# You can see that as the bulbous tip was corrected, the visibility of the nostrils was significantly reduced at the same time.
# When the nostrils are overly visible, the nose appears short and can create a less-than-ideal impression. It is crucial to reduce the visible nostril size through accurate cause analysis.
What if the nostrils are too visible? (1) If the alae are upturned -> Short nose correction, Alar rim lowering (2) If the columella is drooping -> Columella correction (3) If the alae are flared -> Alar reduction
# She is very happy that her reading glasses no longer slide down now that her bridge is higher!
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
