YUNO PLASTIC surgery
Short nose correction
This procedure is designed for cases where the nose appears short and upturned,
making the nostrils overly visible from the front.
By extending the length of the nose, it improves the overall nasal shape and balance.
Short and Upturned Nose,
Proportionate Improvement
In mild cases, tip plasty alone may provide improvement.
However, to address the root cause, it is often necessary to extend the overall length of the nose.
Short nose correction
method
Depending on the cause of a short and upturned nose,
different approaches are used to create a balanced and proportionate nasal shape.
Upturned Nasal Tip
(Cartilage Repositioning)
The alar cartilage inside the nasal tip may be positioned upward, causing the tip to appear upturned.
In such cases, the upper portion of the alar cartilage is trimmed and repositioned downward.
By lowering and securing the cartilage, the tip is brought down, lengthening the nose and reducing nostril visibility.
Before Surgery
The upper portion of the alar cartilage,
which causes nostril exposure, is trimmed.
The trimmed cartilage is repositioned
downward and secured.
Improved into a balanced and
proportionate nose shape.
Short Nasal Length
(Cartilage Repositioning + Septal Extension Graft)
If cartilage repositioning alone is not sufficient to extend the nasal tip, a septal extension graft is performed.
Septal cartilage is placed between the septum and the alar cartilage to effectively lengthen the nasal tip.
Before Surgery
Autologous tissue is grafted between
the septum and alar cartilage to extend the length.
The extended structure is secured
in a downward position.
Improved into a balanced and
proportionate nose shape.
Complex Cases
(Cartilage Repositioning + Septal Extension + Augmentation Rhinoplasty)
In many cases where the nose is short and upturned, the nasal bridge is also low.
If both length and height need improvement, augmentation rhinoplasty is performed in addition.
Augmentation rhinoplasty refers to raising the nasal bridge and tip. Silicone implants are typically used for the bridge,
while autologous cartilage is used to support and shape the nasal tip, resulting in a smooth and balanced nose shape.
Before Surgery
Autologous tissue is grafted between the septum
and alar cartilage, and the tip cartilage
is repositioned to extend the length.
The extended structure is secured downward
and silicone is added to the nasal bridge
to enhance volume.
Resulting in a smooth and
balanced nose shape.
Rhinoplasty Materials
Rhinoplasty materials are broadly divided into artificial implants and autologous tissues.
Since each material has different characteristics, the choice is made based on
the individual’s nasal condition and preference.
Artificial Implants
Silicone
The most commonly used material in rhinoplasty.
It is used to raise the nasal bridge and is ideal for
creating a smooth and refined nasal line.
Gore-Tex
Developed to complement the limitations of silicone,
Gore-Tex has a porous surface that allows surrounding tissue
to grow into it after surgery, providing strong adherence.
AlloDerm
A processed human-derived material with cellular components
removed to reduce immune rejection. It is used to cover
thin nasal skin or to enhance the nasal tip.
Autologous Tissue
Ear Cartilage
A commonly used autologous material.
It is used to extend the nasal tip and is soft and flexible,
making it suitable for shaping the tip.
Septal Cartilage
A broad cartilage located inside the nose.
It is mainly used to elevate the nasal tip
or extend nasal length.
Costal Cartilage (Rib Cartilage)
Rib cartilage is firm and available in sufficient quantity,
making it an ideal material for rhinoplasty.
Dermis (Autologous Dermal Graft)
Usually harvested from the groin or buttock area.
It is often used to add volume beneath the skin when the nasal
skin is thin or when soft tissue is insufficient.
Fascia
A fibrous membrane that surrounds muscles, typically harvested
from the scalp. Temporal fascia is obtained through an incision
within the scalp to reduce implant visibility.
