Columella Lengthening through Closed Rhinoplasty with Rib Cartilage

This case demonstrates a columella lengthening through closed rhinoplasty using autologous rib cartilage.

The patient presented with a short, upturned nose and retracted columella, resulting in excessive nostril exposure and imbalance.

At NoseLab Plastic Surgery, we performed precise columella lengthening through closed rhinoplasty to improve nasal proportion and restore a natural appearance.

The nasal septum was extended, and the tip support was internally reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage, achieving stable projection and a smoother columella contour.

Precise Columella Lengthening through Closed Rhinoplasty

Through accurate extension of the nasal framework, the columella lengthening through closed rhinoplasty technique provided natural elongation of the nasal base.

This adjustment softened the transition between the nasal tip and upper lip, achieving balanced nostril exposure without external scars.

Short Upturned Nose Correction with Autologous Rib Cartilage

The short upturned nose correction was performed simultaneously, using rib cartilage to support and lengthen the nasal structure.

This approach maintained nasal stability and achieved long-lasting, natural results.

After surgery, the patient’s nasal line appeared longer, smoother, and more proportional — all achieved through refined columella lengthening through closed rhinoplasty.
