Cartilage Reshaping
The nasal tip often looks short and lifted because the alar cartilages that form the tip sit too high. We move the raised alar cartilages downward to lengthen the nasal tip.
Rhinoplasty
Short Nose Rhinoplasty
Lengthening the short nose and lowering the lifted nasal tip
Rhinoplasty that does not take into account each person's different skin thickness, bone structure, and face shape tends to leave an artificial look, such as an excessively high or thin nasal tip, and is more likely to lead to revision surgery. Face Plus Plastic Surgery's rhinoplasty is a surgical approach that considers both the function and shape of the nose through anatomical analysis inside the nose + balance with the face shape + use of autologous tissue. We design the nasal bridge and nasal tip line in harmony with the overall face shape and facial features.
- Procedure time
- About 1.5 hours
- Anesthesia
- Sedation
- Stitch removal
- Day 7
- Recovery time
- Daily activities possible after 3 days
* May vary depending on the patient's condition and surgical method.

01
Design Based on Anatomical Analysis with 3D-CT and Facial Balance
Face Plus rhinoplasty, beautiful inside and out, considers both function and shape using autologous tissue. The surgical method differs depending on the type of nose, such as nasal tip surgery · low nasal bridge · bulbous nasal tip · deviated nose · short nose · drooping nasal tip · hump nose.
02
Short Nose (Upturned Nose)
A nose with a short length and a lifted tip, so that the nostrils are visible when viewed from the front, is commonly called a pig nose or an upturned nose. In many cases, the nasal root, where the line of the nasal bridge begins, sits lower than normal, which makes the nose look short.
Upturned nose surgery uses augmentation rhinoplasty to lengthen the nasal root, which lengthens the short nose, and performs a corrective surgery that lowers the lifted tip, improving the look to a more refined impression.
- First, we check the position of the nasal root of the short nose (upturned nose)

Short Nose Rhinoplasty Surgical Methods
02
Cartilage Grafting
This method is used when moving the cartilage alone is not enough to lengthen the nasal tip. By adding a cartilage graft between the septal cartilage and the alar cartilages, the length of the nasal tip is lengthened reliably.
04
FacePlus Short Nose Rhinoplasty Is Recommended for People Like These
- Those who want a more refined impression by lengthening the nose
- Those who want to raise a low nasal bridge
- Those who want a brighter, more polished impression
- Those who want to relieve an outward complex by lowering nostrils that look lifted
05
In Rhinoplasty, the Medical Team's Aesthetic Sense Matters as Much as Surgical Technique
A medical team with long surgical experience and an accumulation of data from diverse rhinoplasty cases
designs the most ideal nasal bridge and nasal tip line in consideration of facial balance
- Surgery performed by a dedicated medical team with aesthetic sense
- Golden-ratio design that considers facial balance
- Custom implants made to suit your skin and skeletal structure
- Bruising and swelling management for faster recovery

Septal Cartilage, Ear Cartilage, Autologous Rib Cartilage — Which Autologous Cartilage Is Good for Nasal Tip Surgery?
— Dr. Park Jung Keun, Plastic Surgery Specialist · Face Plus Talk
Rhinoplasty is broadly divided into nasal bridge surgery and nasal tip surgery. The two cannot be called separate, but the materials used for the two areas are very different. Generally, implants such as silicone are used for the nasal bridge, and autologous cartilage is used for nasal tip surgery. I will tell you about the three representative types of autologous cartilage.
First, the one most people know is ear cartilage. Ear cartilage can be harvested through an incision in front of or behind the ear. I usually harvest cartilage from behind the ear. I usually compare ear cartilage and septal cartilage in terms of whether it is thick, how strong it is, how much can be obtained, and so on. But it is hard to speak about this uniformly. This is because the amount of cartilage differs a lot from person to person and from site to site, and strength and thickness also differ greatly.
Second is the septal cartilage inside the nose. The septal cartilage is located inside the nose, in the middle of the nostril interior, and is a structure that divides the two sides. In fact, it is a structure that is not much needed, so if some supporting portion is left, removing it causes no problem at all. Septal cartilage is originally plentiful and thick, so it is a material widely used in recent rhinoplasty. Unlike ear cartilage, septal cartilage is flat and wide, so it is effective for making structures like support pieces.
Third is autologous rib cartilage. Autologous rib cartilage is the cartilage attached to the ribs, and it is the most abundant in both quantity and thickness. However, it must be harvested through an incision in the chest area, and other systemic risks also increase, so it is used as a last resort whenever possible. An incision of about 3-5 cm is made in the chest area, and the cartilage is sufficient in size and very thick.
Then which cartilage is the best material? There are the general characteristics of each cartilage described above, but in practice there are quite a lot of exceptions. It is important to know enough about the autologous cartilage used in rhinoplasty, but I would like to say that the choice of cartilage is not necessarily tied to the surgical result. What matters is flexibly using sufficient tissue.
