Hello, this is Dr. Chayoung Kang, Director of Noselab Rhinoplasty Clinic. Today we will introduce the rhinoplasty case of a man who had complex issues such as a deviated, upturned, hooked and short nose.

The nose looked small in comparision to the face

The short lenght of the nose is more noticeable.
It can be confirmed that the nose is definitely bent.
Noticeable mouth protrusion.

Columella slightly tilted to the right side.
Noticeable nostril asymmetry
Risk of nasal valve stenosis due to the nasal congestion.
Additional symptoms:

Surgical plan
Taking into account the patient’s requirements and condition, we made the following surgical plan:
Septal correction surgery
Inferior turbinates submucosal resection high-frequency laser surgery
Partial septal reconstruction surgery (as needed)
Septal extension graft using autologous rib cartilage.
Tipplasty and extension.
Nasal hump correction
Deviated nose correction through a lateral osteotomy.
Nasolabial angle correction
Before and After Surgery Photos
The nose was lenghtened and given a more masculine appearance by straightening the deviated nose.
Reduced the nostril exposure to make the appearance more natural.
Facial proportions enhancement after the short nose extension.
The previously hooked nose could be observed smoother.
General profile improvement by the natural-looking lowering of the upturned nose tip.
Improvement of the facial balance due to the lenghtening of the nose.
The nose shape looks straight after the deviated nose correction.
The side profile looks more balanced after the mouth protrusion correction.
Straightening of the columella tilted to the right side.
Improvement of the nostril asymmetry
The breathing is expected to improve through the widening othe intranasal space.

Overview
In this case we were able to solve complex issues such as a deviated, upturned and short nose at the same time. Especially in the case of male patients, very complex corrections may look unnatural in a negative way, so it is important to improve the overall facial balance while maintaining a masculine appearance.
The septal correction and inferior turbinate reduction surgery were performed in order to improve the symptoms of nasal congestion and rhinitis, so it is not simply about the cosmetic aspect, but it is also expected to be of great help in the patient’s life. It is also predicted that the decreased sense of smell will get better by the improvement of the intranasal structure.
The lenghtening extension and deviation correction played a great role in improving the patient’s facial proportions. Especially, the influence of the short nose on the midface, making it look shorter, was huge, but with this surgery we were able to solve these issues effectively.
Regarding the nasal hump correction and the adjustment of the nasolabial angle, we were able to achieve a great improvement on the side profile appearance. This contributed to make the patient’s side profile look more attractive.
Through the closed rhinoplasty approach we are able to shorten the recovery period, and avoid external surgical scars, contributing to the patient’s high satisfaction.
