Nose Type 04
Short Nose and Upturned Nose Rhinoplasty
A short nose or upturned nose is when the nose appears short and the nostrils are excessively visible. This occurs when the angle between the columella and the lips exceeds 110 degrees, requiring the elongation of soft tissues and the nasal tip to restore natural proportions.

Case
01
Septal Cartilage Extension
When autologous tissue alone is insufficient to extend the nose, septal cartilage or autologous cartilage grafts are used to adjust the nasal length. This technique allows precise positioning of the nasal tip to achieve the ideal length.

Alar Cartilage Repositioning
A drooping columella can increase nostril exposure, making the alar base appear lifted. When drooping of the lower alar cartilage causes this, repositioning and fixation of the cartilage corrects the appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Rhinoplasty
Is implant-free revision surgery possible for contracted nose cases?
Contracture is often caused by inflammation from implants like silicone or Gore-Tex. In revision surgery, it is recommended to avoid reusing implants. If contracture is implant-related, the standard is to remove the implant and perform the surgery without it.
Is implant-free rhinoplasty possible for everyone?
Whether or not to use an implant is a matter of choice. However, there may be limitations to how much the nasal bridge can be raised without an implant, which will be explained during consultation. If the nasal bridge is of average height, enhancing the nasal tip can make the nose stand out, making implant-free rhinoplasty a viable option.
Why does nasal tip drooping occur after rhinoplasty?
Since the implant is supported by the underlying bone, collapse of the nasal bridge is rare. However, if the nasal tip is lower than the bridge, it may appear as tip drooping. If the patient is prone to tip drooping, adjusting the bridge height or using supportive materials can minimize the risk. However, due to the constant pull of gravity, tip drooping may occur over 10 to 20 years as ligaments and surrounding tissues loosen with aging. Even without surgery, the nose naturally droops over time due to aging.
