◆ What is Long Nose?
|
The ideal length of a nose is known to be one third of whole face. When the length between the eyebrows and nasal tip is longer than that, it can be classified as a long nose. Long nose with droopy nasal tip may look like an arrow from side profile and may also have a hump on the bridge. |
Suitable Surgical Method is Designed Based on The Cause |
|
01. Long Septum Cartilage |
|
|
▶ Septum Plasty Surgical method Remove some part from the end of septum cartilage to reduce the size. |
|
▶ Alar Cartilage Plasty Surgical Method Rotate the droopy nasal tip cartilage upward to reduce the length. Ear cartilage and septum cartilage may be applied for tip projection when necessary. |
02. Droopy Alar Cartilage |
|
|
The height of nasal bridge can be adjusted according to the projected nasal tip in process of shortening the nasal length.
Surgical Method No need to touch the normal length of septum cartilage, yet just remove some of the alar cartilage to push up the droopy nasal tip. |
Tip from April31 to prevent recurrence of Long Nose. - Fix another autogenous cartilage on the tip to prevent it from getting shorter(upturned) or droopy again. | |
