Large Nose Correction: Balanced Facial Design with Closed Rhinoplasty

Hello, I’m Dr. Cha-Young Kang, Director of Nose Lab Clinic.

Today, I will introduce a case of large nose correction where improving the nasal structure helped enhance the patient’s overall facial harmony and proportions.

Patient’s Requirements

Reduce the size and prominence of the nose
Design a nose that harmonizes with the patient’s face
Complementary procedures: autologous fat grafting and chin augmentation

Preoperative frontal, side, and 45-degree views of a patient with large nose before correction surgery (closed rhinoplasty) — Design consultation front, side profile, and 45-degree angle view.

Pre-operative Analysis

Frontal view:

Bulbous nasal tip
Long and large nose
Deviated nasal bridge

Side profile view:

Droopy nasal tip
Hooked bridge
Prominent nasal projection
Recessed chin

Nostril and nasal base:

Wide nasal base
Asymmetric nostrils

Design consultation side profile, 45-degree angle and nostril view.

Surgical Plan

Nasal structure correction:

Outer osteotomy for narrowing
Tip correction and relocation with autologous rib cartilage
Nasal base reduction
Septal deviation correction

Overall facial balance:

Chin augmentation to correct retrusion
Autologous fat grafting to restore volume and enhance facial contour

Surgical Results

Frontal view:

Sharper nasal tip
Adjusted nasal length
Natural and proportional nasal line

Side profile:

Correction of the droopy tip
Smooth nasal bridge
Balanced chin projection

Nostril view:

Reduced nasal base width
Improved nostril symmetry

Expert’s Opinion

There are physical limitations in making a large nose dramatically smaller. However, by focusing on the harmony of the entire face, it is possible to create the impression of a smaller, refined nose.

In this case, we did not only reshape the nose but also addressed overall facial proportions. By performing autologous fat grafting to supplement depressed areas and chin augmentation to enhance projection, we achieved a balanced three-dimensional effect. As a result, the patient’s nose appeared significantly smaller and more harmonious with the rest of the face.

At Nose Lab, our philosophy is to design customized surgeries that enhance the harmony of the whole face rather than focusing solely on the nose. This ensures natural and satisfying results.

Thank you,Dr. Cha-Young Kang
