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

Today, I’d like to share the case of a 22-year-old female patient who underwent long nose rhinoplasty to improve her nasal breathing and address cosmetic concerns of a long, humped nose.

1. Patient’s Surgical History and Goals in Long Nose Rhinoplasty

This 22-year-old female patient underwent long nose rhinoplasty to address both functional breathing issues and cosmetic concerns.

History: Previous cheekbone reduction (1 year ago).
Goals: Relieve rhinitis symptoms, correct septal deviation, improve long humped nose appearance, refine drooping tip, and achieve a balanced result.

2.Pre-Surgical Assessment of Long Nose Rhinoplasty

The assessment revealed a prominent nasal hump, drooping tip, asymmetry, and an overall long nasal shape — key challenges in long nose rhinoplasty.

Front view: Broad nasal appearance, nostril asymmetry, drooping tip creating a hooked look.
Side view: Prominent dorsal hump, drooping columella.
Nostril view: Asymmetric base, uneven lateral walls.

3. Surgical Plan for Long Nose Rhinoplasty

The surgical strategy combined functional and aesthetic steps, making this long nose rhinoplasty a comprehensive corrective procedure.

Septoplasty: Correct septal deviation for better breathing.
Turbinate Reduction: Relieve rhinitis symptoms.
Septal Extension Graft: Stabilize and refine nasal shape.
Dorsal Hump Reduction: Smooth nasal bridge.
Lateral Osteotomy: Narrow bridge for balance.
Silicone Implant: Subtle height adjustment for harmony.

Front view: Reduced broadness, improved nostril symmetry, straightened nasal line.
Side view: Smooth nasal bridge, reduced hump, slightly elevated tip.
Nostril view: Balanced nasal base, reshaped lateral walls.

Key Considerations in Long Nose Rhinoplasty

This case emphasizes that successful long nose rhinoplasty requires balancing facial proportions while improving both function and aesthetics.

Correction of a long nose requires more than shortening; proportions and harmony must be prioritized. Adjustments to the columella, bridge height, and nasolabial angle are essential for natural results.

At Nose Lab Clinic, we tailor every long nose rhinoplasty to suit individual facial features, focusing on both function and aesthetics.

At Nose Lab, we perform all procedures via closed rhinoplasty.
