A harmonious facial profile often centers around a balanced, well-proportioned nose. However, dealing with a complex nasal structure—such as a combination of a deviated bridge and an upturned tip—requires exceptional surgical skill. At Noselab Plastic Surgery in Seoul, South Korea, Dr. Chayoung Kang specializes in addressing these intricate challenges using advanced closed rhinoplasty techniques, ensuring beautiful results without visible external scarring.
Pre-Operative Analysis: The Challenge of a Deviated and Upturned Nose
In this case study, the patient presented with several overlapping aesthetic and functional concerns:
- Deviated Nose: The nasal bridge and septum were noticeably crooked, disrupting overall facial symmetry and potentially causing breathing difficulties.
- Upturned (Short) Nose: The nasal tip was over-rotated and short, leading to excessive nostril exposure from the front view (often referred to as a “piggy nose”).
- Nostril Asymmetry: Due to the underlying deviation and tip position, the nostrils were uneven in shape and size.
The Surgical Plan: A Closed Rhinoplasty Approach
As a renowned closed rhinoplasty specialist, Dr. Chayoung Kang designed a comprehensive surgical plan that addressed all concerns through incisions hidden entirely inside the nostrils. The surgical goals included:
- Septal Reconstruction and Deviation Correction: Realigning the deviated septum to create a straight, stable foundation for the nasal bridge.
- Nasal Length Design: Using autologous cartilage to safely extend the nasal framework, de-rotating the tip to correct the upturned appearance and reduce nostril visibility.
- Nostril Symmetry and Tip Refinement: Meticulously adjusting the alar cartilages to achieve balanced, symmetrical nostrils and a refined, natural-looking tip.
Surgical Results: Achieving Balance and Symmetry
The post-operative results highlight the transformative power of a well-executed closed rhinoplasty. The patient’s nasal bridge is now beautifully straight, bringing a new level of harmony to the face. By precisely extending the nasal length, Dr. Kang successfully corrected the upturned tip, eliminating the excessive nostril show. Furthermore, the nostrils are now highly symmetrical, and the entire procedure was completed without leaving any external columellar scars.
