What is a short/upturned nose surgery?
A surgery for short nose or upturned nose which has visible nostril. This is the most difficult surgery among nose surgeries. If nose wing which covers upper nostril is short in front and back, nostril can be seen from the front. If the nose is not grown fully, it looks small, short and upturned in the face.

If nose is short and looks upturned, we perform a surgery which extends nose length by relocate wing cartilage to extend inside and outside skin of nose at the same time. If it is not enough, we separate tip cartilage and outside cartilage and then use septum cartilage to make a support of nose tip.
- The method which makes nose bridge higher : Short/upturned nose has a visible nostrils and the nose starting point is low and it is located down compare to normal nose that is why the nose looks short. In this case, we need to make the nose bridge higher and then the nose looks longer.
- Cartilage surgery : The cartilage does a main role in making nose tip look upturned. If the wing cartilage which is a part of the nose tip is up, the nose looks upturned. In this case, cutting up the upper part of the wing cartilage and fixing the bridge to downward is making the cartilage look longer downward.
- Cartilage transplantation : If adjusting cartilage is not enough to extend the nose length, we can implant additional cartilage between septum cartilage and wing cartilage to extend for sure. Normally, we use septum cartilage for implant.
- Cartilage surgery+Cartilage transplantation+Nose augmentation : We separate wing cartilage from the nose bridge cartilage and relocate forward and implant septum cartilage in between to fix it not to move back. And we gather the wing cartilage, put silitex longer than original on the nose bridge and implant cartilage on the tip to make it protruded.
