Nose Surgery/ Rhinoplasty Methods

Open Rhinoplasty: Columella incision and additional incisions inside the nostrils
A surgeon can easily see the internal structure of a nose and perform a precise procedure which can bring satisfactory results. However, it takes a longer operative time than the closed method. It may leave small scar or redness if a surgeon doesn’t suture the incision carefully. This method is appropriate to those whose nose has asymmetry, severe hump, and severe deviation.

Closed Rhinoplasty: Incision only at the interior of the nostrils
It decreases operative time, lesser swelling and faster postoperative healing and avoidance of a scar along the columella. However, the closed method is limited to non-complicated surgeries (e.g. bulbous noses are not suitable for closed) as it limits seeing the complexity of the inner nose. This method is appropriate those who only needs to do general nose augmentation surgery.

Various types of nose augmentation (Nose bridge+tip)

Flat nose
Bulbous nose
Hump nose
Short nose
Long nose
Deviated nose

Flat Nose

Generally, 80% of Asian people have a flat nose. This is a procedure that makes a prominent nose on the nose bridge and tip by inserting autologous cartilage or implant.

Bulbous Nose

Bulbous Tip is caused when the skin of the nasal tip is too thick or has excess soft tissue and/or the septal cartilage is too thick or big. It is important to identify the cause of a bulbous nose. Nose with plenty of fat: Resect the lower part of nose cartilage and suture as subcutaneous tissue and fat is removed. Nose with wide cartilage: Wide cartilage is narrowed and lifted to create a slim and polished nose tip.

Hump Nose

An Humped nose (Humpectomy) is a human nose with a bump on the nasal bridge and a droopy nose tip. Humpectomy gives a beautiful and smooth nose by cutting the bump on nasal bone and cartilages and raising up a low nose tip.

Short Nose

The ideal length of the nose is one-third of the length of the face and the ideal nasolabial angle is between 95° and 105°. If the nasolabial angle exceeds 110°, the nose tip is upturned. As a result, the nostrils are overly exposed from a frontal view and the nose looks short. It is the procedure that extends the nasal cartilage and the skin after resecting the skin, covering the nose from the nasal bone and nasal cartilage. Materials used for upturned nose are rib cartilage or dermal fat or septal cartilage.

Long Nose

The Nose Tip is excessively droopy and nasolabial angle is smaller than normal angle. Also, nose length exceeds one third of the length of the whole face. This procedure can be performed in case of long or droopy alar cartilages. Droopy alar cartilage is cut and fixed with septal nasal cartilages to prevent the nose from lengthening over time.

Deviated Nose

The procedure is to correct the deviated part of the nose as we identify the causes of deviation. First, if nose has been injured, it is important to check the injury through a CT scan. This procedure is to correct the deviated part and create a pretty nose.
