Hello, this is Dr. Kim Hyung-taek from Kowon Plastic Surgery Clinic.
Today, I am presenting before and after photos of a surgery for a low and broad nose.
The patient had a typically broad Asian nose with a low bridge and a blunt, wide nasal tip.
In the pre-surgery photos, the cartilage at the tip of the nose is spread out, making the nostrils appear flared when viewed from below.
To achieve a more natural look, we performed cartilage stitching to elevate the nasal tip.
From the front view, the low bridge is not very noticeable, but you can see that the septum is slightly deviated.
This is a case of mild septal deviation, which needed to be corrected during the surgery.
Although the deviation is not very noticeable when the nose is low, it becomes apparent as the bridge is elevated.
We used a 4mm silicone implant to avoid excessive height.
Since the septal cartilage was somewhat insufficient due to the low and small nose, we supplemented it with ear cartilage.
In addition to addressing the spread of the nasal tip cartilage, we also performed non-incision nostril reduction because the nostrils were significantly flared.
After the surgery, the broad nose has been successfully reduced in size.
Although many believe that nostril reduction is essential in broad nose surgeries, it is often possible to improve the appearance with just cartilage stitching.
However, some people are reluctant to undergo nostril reduction due to concerns about unnatural smiles or scarring.
It is worth noting that non-incision nostril reduction techniques are available and can be effective with minimal scarring.
Even if an incision is made, scarring and unnatural results are not inevitable, so there is no need to worry excessively.
This nose job case review was taken immediately after surgery, showing a clear before and after result and the overall transformation of the rhinoplasty.
