🔎 Initial Assessment and Concerns

At Nose Lab Clinic, we met a patient seeking upturned nose correction due to excessive nostril exposure and a broad nasal base. The patient wanted a natural and balanced result without artificial elongation.

Frontal View

Severe nostril exposure from the front
Wide nasal bridge
Low nasal dorsum
Mildly crooked nasal axis

Side Profile

Upturned tip with visible nostrils
Protruding upper lip
Uneven dorsal contour

Nasal Base

Enlarged nostrils
Rightward columellar deviation
Mild nostril asymmetry

💉 Surgical Goals and Plan

Our plan focused on aesthetic balance and functional enhancement while maintaining natural proportions.

Reduce nostril exposure through upturned nose correction
Refine and lower the nasal base
Straighten columella
Smooth dorsal line
Correct nasolabial angle
Restore tip definition using cartilage reshaping
Treat deviated septum and turbinate hypertrophy for breathing improvement

This upturned nose correction case required a careful balance of aesthetics and function. The patient desired a nose that appeared refined yet natural — without being overdone.

We achieved that with a closed (scarless) approach, using precise cartilage grafting and reshaping techniques.

Importantly, functional breathing issues were also resolved — a reminder that many rhinoplasty cases involve both cosmetic and medical elements.

All procedures at Nose Lab are performed using a closed rhinoplasty approach to ensure no external scars.
