Introduction to the Case
At Noselab Plastic Surgery, Dr. Chayoung Kang specializes in advanced closed rhinoplasty techniques, offering patients scarless solutions for even the most complex revision cases. In this case study, we explore a challenging revision rhinoplasty aimed at correcting a deviated, small bulbous nose, while extending its length and achieving nostril symmetry.
Patient’s Primary Concerns
The patient visited our clinic in Seoul deeply dissatisfied with the results of a previous rhinoplasty. Their primary concerns included:
- Deviated Bridge: The nasal framework had shifted, creating a noticeably crooked appearance.
- Small, Bulbous Tip: The nasal tip lacked definition and appeared disproportionately round, blunt, and heavy.
- Short Nasal Length: The nose appeared overly upturned and short, exposing the nostrils.
- Nostril Asymmetry: The previous surgery left the patient with uneven, asymmetrical nostrils that drew unwanted attention.
Dr. Chayoung Kang’s Surgical Plan
Because the patient had already undergone previous surgeries, minimizing further tissue trauma was paramount. Dr. Kang opted for a 100% closed rhinoplasty approach, ensuring no external incisions or visible scarring across the columella. The comprehensive surgical plan included:
- Septal Reconstruction: Realigning the deviated septum to create a straight, stable foundation for the bridge.
- Tip Elongation and Refinement: Utilizing autologous cartilage to extend the nasal length, de-rotate the tip, and sculpt the bulbous tissue for a refined, elegant projection.
- Nostril Symmetry Correction: Carefully repositioning and suturing the alar cartilages through endonasal incisions to restore balance and symmetry to the nostrils.
Surgical Results
The revision surgery was a resounding success. By employing his signature closed rhinoplasty technique, Dr. Kang was able to straighten the deviated bridge and significantly improve the nasal tip’s definition. The length of the nose was beautifully extended, creating a more harmonious facial profile, and the nostrils were meticulously balanced. Best of all, the patient experienced a faster recovery with zero external scarring.
