Rib-cartilage revision for a shortened, upturned nose: six months · Case 095
Follow rib-cartilage revision rhinoplasty for a shortened, upturned nose at Answer Plastic Surgery in Seoul, with before-and-after photos through six months.
Looking at the photographs
The patient described a nose that had become shortened and upturned after earlier surgery, and wanted a natural appearance with a relatively low bridge between the eyes. The supplied account identifies revision surgery using the patient’s own rib cartilage. On surgery day, the patient reported soreness around the cartilage-harvest area when leaning back or getting up. At one week, the patient was pleased with the lower nasal position and felt the previously uneven appearance looked more symmetrical. At two weeks, swelling still made the appearance feel unfamiliar, although the patient liked the lower nasal position and bridge height. At three weeks, swelling remained but the patient felt more confident meeting people. The one- and two-month accounts described growing satisfaction as swelling decreased. At three months, the patient felt the nose looked more natural and described increased nasal length. The six-month account continued to report satisfaction with the front view and a more natural appearance.
Treatment details
Procedure details come from the clinic-supplied patient account, not an operative report. The patient’s suggestion that earlier ear cartilage had been absorbed is not a confirmed clinical finding. The available photographs cover surgery day, one, two and three weeks, and one, two, three and six months. Lighting, makeup, camera angle and expression vary between stages.
