Flat Nose and Notching Nose Correction through Closed Rhinoplasty with Nostril Asymmetry Balancing

Surgical Background and Patient Concerns (flat nose correction)

This patient presented with a flat nasal bridge, alar notching, and visible nostril asymmetry. The nose appeared short and wide due to lack of nasal height. The goal of this surgery was to achieve flat nose correction by elevating the bridge, correcting the notching deformity, and balancing the nostrils through a closed rhinoplasty approach.

Surgical Plan and Approach (notching correction and nostril balancing)

The flat nose correction was performed using a closed rhinoplasty method to minimize visible scars. Autologous cartilage was used to build nasal height and define the bridge. The notching along the alar rim was corrected by precise tissue repositioning, while nostril asymmetry was balanced by adjusting cartilage tension and base alignment.

This technique aligns with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons guidelines for safe and natural nasal reconstruction.

Postoperative Results and Improvements (nasal height and symmetry)

After surgery, the nasal bridge appeared higher and smoother. The flat nose correction resulted in a refined nasal line with improved projection and balanced nostrils. The alar notching was corrected, and the nose achieved natural symmetry and proportion from all angles.

Doctor’s Commentary (closed rhinoplasty for flat nose and notching deformity)

In flat nose and notching deformity cases, controlled cartilage grafting and soft-tissue redraping are crucial for lasting results. Closed rhinoplasty enables precision without external scars, ensuring both aesthetic refinement and structural stability.
