Nose tip extension surgery point

- The ideal nose length : 1/3 of overall face
- The ideal angle of 45 degree between nasal tip and columella

The nasolabial angle, the angle between the columella and the upper lip, often exceeds over 110 degrees, which is meant to be upturned or short nose. This leads to expose nostril way too much. Customized surgery method should be applied with this type of procedure based on ergonomically rhino analysis as improper use of prosthesis or poor technique affect on shortening the nose.

Short Nose Correction Surgical Method

Nose with blunt tip rhinoplasty surgical method
	METHOD 01 Cartilage Repositioning Surgery Naturally, the nasal tip cartilage that is angled upwards makes the nose look upturned and short. Thus, by incising the upper cartilage and repositioning it downwards, it can ultimately decrease the nasolabial angle and create an ideal nose tip.
	METHOD 02 Cartilage Transplant Surgery If cartilage repositioning still pose a shortfall, cartilage length may need to be reinforced with additional septal cartilage transplants to increase the length of the tip.
	METHOD 03 Cartilage Repositioning Surgery + Cartilage Transplant Surgery + Rhinoplasty This procedure is suitable for patient who desire to elevate nasal bridge and tip after getting above 2 surgeries. A prosthesis is implanted into the nasal bridge and cartilage from your ear is used for your nose tip.
