Patient Background – Hanging and Long Nose with Short Columella


The patient had a long and drooping nose with a short columella, making the nasal tip appear downward and unbalanced.

The goal of this closed rhinoplasty korea was to lengthen the columella using autologous costal cartilage and refine the nasal tip angle for a natural profile.

Surgical Plan and Result – Restoring Proportion through Closed Rhinoplasty Korea


A scarless closed approach was used with rib cartilage grafting to extend the columella and lift the hanging tip.

The nasal line was designed to achieve balance between the bridge and tip, resulting in a natural and smooth contour.

After surgery, the closed rhinoplasty korea improved facial proportion and achieved elegant definition without visible scars.
