Hello. I am the Director of KOWON Plastic Surgery .
In this patient's case, when viewed from the front, nasal tip was raised, resulting in upturned nose shape, and nasal bridge was twisted to one side.
Also, they were concerned because nostril was visible too clearly.
So, I had to proceed with surgery for the upturned nasal tip and deviated nose .
Cases with this shape cannot be improved by simply lowering nasal tip .
A successful deviated nose surgery requires correcting the center of the nose while simultaneously trimming the angle and length of nasal tip .
The issue of the upturned nasal tip was addressed by using nasal tip cartilage repositioning and nasal tip suturing to bring it down naturally, and the length was also increased to match the overall facial proportions.
And we installed supports between the cartilage to ensure stable maintenance for a long period.
Feeling that properly aligning the flow of the nasal midline was paramount rather than merely focusing on height, I precisely corrected the tilted nasal bridge to align with the facial center baseline, thereby improving the frontal asymmetry.

In addition to this, alar reduction was performed to balance alar base / nostril wing width, thereby mitigating the exposure of nostril .
Only by meticulously refining the angle and line of nasolabial angle where columella meets the philtrum, can a natural three-dimensional effect be achieved from any angle.
By further refining the harmony of the overall line extending from the base of the nose to the philtrum, we were able to complete a much more stable and smooth nose line, not only from the front but also from the side angle.

This was also a case where the patient was very concerned because, when viewed from the front nasal bridge was clearly twisted to one side, making the overall symmetry of the face appear broken, and nasal tip was lifted upward, causing severe nostril exposure.
To resolve these complex structural issues, we first performed a deviated nose surgery to straighten the central axis of nasal bridge which was shifted to one side, by aligning it with the midline of the face. Subsequently, the elevated nasal tip was repositioned through cartilage repositioning and suturing to allow it to descend smoothly, and sturdy supports were reinforced between the cartilages to extend the overall length of the nose stably.
In addition, by performing alar reduction to balance the width of alar base / nostril wing , and correcting nasolabial angle line, we naturally improved the exposure of nostril that was prominent from the front.

After surgery, not only was the previously awkward exposure nostril neatly concealed, but the asymmetrical nasal bridge and nasal tip were straightened, transforming the impression into a more three-dimensional and sophisticated one. At KOWON Plastic Surgery , we precisely analyze each individual's facial proportions and structural characteristics of the nose to create natural and harmonious lines that look natural from any angle.
[In conclusion]
In cases like this one, where nasal bridge is bent and nasal tip is upturned, it is difficult to achieve satisfactory results by merely refining the external appearance. The key to deviated nose surgery lies in the precision required to accurately identify the internal structural causes, straighten the central axis of nasal bridge , and three-dimensionally adjust the angle and length of nasal tip .
As the nose is located at the center of the facial features, even a minute difference of 0.1mm can significantly change one's impression.
Therefore, the overall facial proportions and even nasolabial angle are calculated meticulously.
A custom design must be applied to achieve natural harmony from both the front and the side.
Equipped with extensive clinical experience and know-how KOWON Plastic Surgery provides personalized 1:1 diagnoses that consider both the functional and cosmetic aspects of the nose simultaneously, completing a stable and sophisticated line that remains consistent over time.
