Pre-surgery Evaluation and Design for Mild Contracted Nose Correction

The patient presented with a mild contracted nose deformity and an upturned nasal tip following previous rhinoplasty using an implant.

The main goal of this Mild Contracted Nose Correction was to reduce nostril exposure, restore a natural nasal tip angle, and smooth out irregularities along the nasal bridge.Since the deformation was not severe, maintaining existing soft tissue while reconstructing the weakened framework was prioritized.

Surgical Plan for Contracted and Upturned Nose Correction

The operation was performed through a Closed Rhinoplasty approach to minimize incision and recovery time.

During surgery, the previously inserted implant and surrounding scar tissue were carefully removed.To restore support, autologous rib cartilage was used to reconstruct the damaged septal and alar cartilage, which is critical in preventing recurrence of nasal contracture.

This Mild Contracted Nose Correction aimed to re-establish the nasal tip support while gently lowering the upturned nose angle, resulting in improved nostril symmetry.

By combining Upturned Nose Correction with cartilage reconstruction, the nasal contour was stabilized and reshaped into a more natural form.
