Surgical Background in Long Nose Rhinoplasty Korea

This patient visited our clinic seeking improvement for a long, drooping nasal tip and a bulbous tip shape, which together created a heavy appearance. She also showed asymmetry in the nasal bridge and a flat profile due to mouth protrusion. Chronic nasal congestion caused by a deviated septum and rhinitis further affected her comfort.

These combined aesthetic and functional challenges made her an ideal candidate for Long Nose Rhinoplasty Korea, where both structural refinement and airway correction are addressed simultaneously.

Surgical Plan and Techniques for Tip Refinement

Rib Cartilage Reshaping for Drooping and Bulbous Tip

Using autologous rib cartilage, we designed a stronger and more stable framework to correct the long, downward-pointing nasal tip. Rib cartilage grafting is especially effective in Long Nose Rhinoplasty Korea, as it allows predictable shaping and long-term stability while refining the bulbous tip into a more elegant contour.

Nasolabial Angle Improvement for Facial Balance

Her protruding mouth flattened the profile and reduced facial definition. By adjusting the nasolabial angle, we improved the transition between the nose and upper lip, creating a more balanced and sophisticated profile that is commonly targeted in advanced Long Nose Rhinoplasty Korea procedures.

Custom Bridge Implant for Symmetry

A custom-carved silicone implant replaced the previous dorsal implant. The new design corrected bridge asymmetry and provided a smooth, natural contour that complements the newly refined nasal tip.

Functional Corrections: Septoplasty and Turbinate Reduction

To address the patient’s breathing difficulties, septoplasty and inferior turbinate reduction were performed in the same session. This holistic approach is typical of comprehensive Long Nose Rhinoplasty Korea, where both beauty and function must be preserved or restored.

The refined nasal tip, improved nasolabial angle, corrected bridge asymmetry, and restored airway function produced a balanced and natural aesthetic result. The nose now harmonizes with the patient’s facial proportions, giving a more youthful and polished appearance without exaggeration—hallmarks of successful Long Nose Rhinoplasty Korea.

Surgeon’s Commentary on Long Nose Rhinoplasty Korea

Correcting a long and drooping nose requires precise control of tip rotation, projection, and structural support. Autologous rib cartilage is the most reliable material for these goals in Long Nose Rhinoplasty Korea, especially when dealing with bulbous or elongated tips.

Refining the nasolabial angle can dramatically improve the perception of depth in the profile, particularly in patients with mouth protrusion.

Functional issues such as septal deviation must also be corrected to ensure long-term breathing stability and surgical durability.

This case demonstrates that when aesthetic refinement and functional correction are planned together, patients can achieve highly natural, stable, and harmonious results.
