APEX Short / Upturned Nose We extend the nose to a length that suits your facial proportions for a natural nasal line. Leave the piggy nose behind by extending the nose! A short or upturned nose refers to a nose whose nostrils are excessively visible from the front, or where the angle formed between the base of the nose and the upper lip is large; in most cases the nose is short in length, giving a somewhat lightweight impression. The causes can be divided into a congenitally short nasal framework and contracture following previous rhinoplasty. Surgery for a short or upturned nose moves the tip cartilage downward to extend the length of the nasal tip and adjusts the tip angle, improving the nasal line to fit your facial proportions. Correct a short, upturned nose and add refinement with an ideal nasal angle and height! Achieve a harmonious nose length and angle!

Prologue

An upturned nose is one in which the nostrils are excessively visible from the front or the angle between the base of the nose and the upper lip is large; in most cases the nose is short, giving a light impression.
It can be caused either by a congenitally short bony framework of the nose or by contracture following previous nose surgery. Upturned nose surgery moves the tip cartilage downward to lengthen the tip and adjusts its angle, creating a nose line in proportion with the face.

Short / upturned nose,
How is it corrected?

Learn how a short or upturned nose is corrected.

For a short nose, raising it with an implant alone pulls it further because of the insufficient tissue
rises, resulting in an unnatural nasal line. Unless the nose is severely short, a relatively simple
correction is possible with that method as well, but there is no single procedure that corrects it definitively
condition. The reason is A short nose is caused not only by the outer skin but also by the inner
because every component that determines the length of the nose - cartilage, mucosa, septum - is shortened
is the reason.

Short / Upturned Nose Surgery TIP

To correct the nose comprehensively - skin, cartilage, septum and more - the shape of the ala is adjusted to
correction is carried out together with that surgery.

Surgery

APEX Short / Upturned Nose Method

How is APEX short / upturned nose surgery performed?

Cartilage Reshaping

When the alar cartilage at the tip sits high, the tip turns up and the nose looks short.
Cutting the upper part of the alar cartilage at the tip and fixing it downward lowers the tip and makes the nose look longer.

Cartilage Grafting

Grafting autologous tissue such as ear or septal cartilage lowers the tip and makes the nose look longer.
