Today, we are going to show a case of short nose (upturned nose) rhinoplasty.

The ideal ratio of nose is 1/3 in whole face.

The ideal angle from nasal tip to upper lips is 90 ~ 100 degree.

But if ratio of nose is under 1/3, and the angle is over 100 degree, can say nose is short.

This short nose or upturned nose can corrected to the ideal shape by rhinoplasty.

This woman had a short nose. And can see her nostrils from frontal view.

Her nasal tip was short too.

To correct her short (upturned) nose, Dr. Cho Bae-Jung used donated rib cartilage for her nasal tip. And Dr. Cho made her nasal line natural, from bridge to tip, using dermis.

Notice: In a case of short nose, nasal septum cartilage also can be short or weak. In this situation, it is not a good idea to harvesting them for nasal tip plasty. (Dr. Cho Bae-Jung)
