Short Nose Correction Korea: Natural Tip Refinement and Facial Balance Using Rib Cartilage

urgical Background: Why Short Nose Correction Korea Was Needed

This patient visited our clinic with concerns about a short, small, and slightly upturned nose.

Although she had no previous rhinoplasty history, she felt her nose lacked balance in relation to her facial proportions.

Because the skin elasticity was limited, this Short Nose Correction Korea case required a conservative, structure-focused approach.

Patient Goals for Short Nose Correction Korea

• Correct a short, upturned nasal shape

• Achieve natural height and projection without exaggeration

• Maintain a straight dorsal line

• Improve recessed chin for overall balance

• Ensure smooth harmony among facial thirdsThese goals aligned precisely with the foundational philosophy of Short Nose Correction Korea.

Surgical Plan: Technical Approach to Short Nose Correction Korea

The surgical design focused on safe augmentation, long-term stability, and functional improvement.

Safe Design Principles in Short Nose Correction Korea

Short noses often have tight skin and limited extensibility.

To prevent postoperative contraction or thinning, we designed the structure within a safe range, following the principles of Short Nose Correction Korea.

Rib Cartilage Framework for Short Nose Correction Korea

Autologous rib cartilage was used because it provides:

• Sufficient volume to lengthen the nasal structure

• Strong support for the tip

• Excellent long-term stability without foreign-body complicationsThis allowed a natural and proportional refinement.

Septal Extension & Functional Corrections

Using septal extension grafts, we corrected the upturned tip angle and refined the nasolabial angle.

At the same time, we performed septoplasty and inferior turbinate reduction to improve breathing—an important component of Short Nose Correction Korea.

Chin Implant to Complete Facial Harmony

A recessed chin can exaggerate the appearance of a short nose.

By enhancing chin projection, we improved:

• Facial symmetry

• Nose-to-chin ratio

• Side-profile aestheticsThis elevated the aesthetic result of Short Nose Correction Korea.

Expert Commentary on Short Nose Correction Korea

Surgical Insight from a Closed Rhinoplasty Specialist

Short noses require a fundamentally different approach than standard augmentation.

Attempting excessive height can overstretch the skin, leading to long-term complications.The key principles of Short Nose Correction Korea are:

• Respect skin tension limits

• Prioritize stability using rib cartilage

• Combine functional and aesthetic corrections

• Consider the entire facial framework, not the nose alone

By applying these principles, we achieved a natural, stable, and balanced result aligned with the patient's goals.

All procedures were performed using the closed (endonasal) rhinoplasty technique.
