At Noselab Plastic Surgery in Seoul, South Korea, we specialize in advanced, scarless nose surgeries. Led by Dr. Chayoung Kang, a renowned closed rhinoplasty specialist, our clinic is dedicated to achieving natural, harmonious results without visible scarring. In this case study, we explore a comprehensive facial harmonization procedure involving the correction of a deviated and hump nose, hanging tip refinement, and a facial fat transplant.
Patient Consultation and Concerns
The patient visited Noselab Plastic Surgery seeking a solution for several aesthetic and functional concerns. During the comprehensive consultation with Dr. Kang, the following issues were identified:
- Deviated Nose: The nasal bridge was visibly crooked, affecting facial symmetry and causing mild breathing difficulties.
- Dorsal Hump: A prominent bump on the bridge of the nose disrupted the side profile.
- Hanging Tip (Drooping Columella): The nasal tip pointed downward, creating an elongated and somewhat heavy appearance to the lower third of the nose.
- Lack of Facial Volume: The patient felt their overall facial profile lacked dimension, particularly in the forehead and chin areas.
Dr. Chayoung Kang’s Surgical Plan
To address these complex issues without leaving any external scars, Dr. Kang designed a customized surgical plan utilizing his signature closed rhinoplasty technique:
- Closed Approach Deviated Nose Correction: Using internal incisions, Dr. Kang planned to perform an osteotomy to realign the nasal bones and straighten the septum, restoring both symmetry and airflow.
- Hump Reduction: The dorsal hump would be carefully shaved down to create a smooth, elegant nasal bridge.
- Hanging Tip Refinement: By reshaping the lower lateral cartilages and elevating the columella, Dr. Kang aimed to lift the drooping tip, creating a more youthful and refined nasolabial angle.
- Facial Fat Transplant: To complement the new nose, autologous fat grafting was planned for the forehead and chin to enhance the overall three-dimensional profile of the face.
The Procedure and Results
The surgery was performed entirely through the nostrils, ensuring zero external scarring—a hallmark of Dr. Kang’s expertise. The hump was meticulously reduced, and the deviated bones were reset to a straight, midline position. The hanging tip was lifted and secured, providing a delicate and feminine projection.
Simultaneously, the fat transplant added soft, natural volume to the patient’s face, perfectly balancing the newly refined nose. The recovery was smooth, with significantly less swelling compared to traditional open rhinoplasty.
Why Choose Closed Rhinoplasty?
Patients with complex nasal deformities often believe that open rhinoplasty is their only option. However, in the hands of a highly skilled specialist like Dr. Chayoung Kang, even severe deviations and prominent humps can be corrected using the closed approach. Benefits include no visible scarring, reduced tissue trauma, faster recovery, and a more natural-looking result.
