Short Nose Rhinoplasty
A case study of a 20-year-old female patient who underwent short nose correction, bulbous nose refinement, and bridge enhancement to achieve a sophisticated straight-semi-curved profile.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# ‘My nose looks short and upturned. It also looks wide from the front, which is very stressful!’
* Consultation
# Her biggest concern was the short nasal tip, which made her nostrils overly visible from the front.
# She also requested correction for a bulbous nose. While traditionally called a ‘lucky nose’ in Korea, many now seek improvement due to its blunt and heavy appearance.
# We determined that refining the nasal tip while raising the bridge would result in a highly satisfying nasal profile.
* Surgical Plan
# Nasal Tip Surgery (Short nose correction, Bulbous nose refinement)
# Rhinoplasty Bridge (Implant, Osteotomy)
# Alar Reduction
* Post-operative Progress
# The patient wanted to transition from a round, cute-looking nose to a sleek, straight-semi-curved (Jik-ban) line. We are pleased that the desired shape harmonizes perfectly with her overall facial features.
# By correcting the short and blunt appearance, her overall image now looks much more sophisticated!
Consultations and surgeries should always be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
