Hello, this is Dr. Cha-Young Kang, Director of Nose Lab Clinic.

Today, I’d like to share a case of Customized Nose Reshaping and Chin Augmentation, focusing on how combining these two procedures helped achieve harmony and balance in the patient’s overall facial proportions.

1. Key Concerns Before Surgery

Protruding mouth and a small nasolabial angle

Rounded, asymmetrical nostrils
Receding chin (microgenia)

2. Surgical Plan and Execution for Customized Nose Reshaping and Chin Augmentation

a. Nasal Structure Enhancement

Utilized septal cartilage and donated rib cartilage for septal extension graft.
Sculpted a straight-line nasal bridge (dorsum) for a more refined profile.
Lowered the columella for a natural columellar show.
Adjusted the nasolabial angle to enhance the balance between the nose and lips.

b. Chin Augmentation

Implanted a customized chin prosthesis to correct the receding chin and improve the facial profile.

c. Detailed Refinements

Adjusted the glabella height for facial balance with the brow bone.
Corrected asymmetry and rounded nostril shape.
Focused on improving frontal symmetry while maintaining natural contours.

This case highlights the importance of addressing the entire facial structure rather than focusing only on the nose. While nasal reshaping was the primary procedure, chin augmentation significantly enhanced the overall facial profile.

Key success factors included:

Tailored design: From nasal tip to chin projection, every step was customized.
Functional and aesthetic balance: Improvements were made while ensuring nasal airway functionality.
