What is GNG Upturned/Short Nose Rhinoplasty?

Upturned/short nose refers to the shape of the nose where the nasal tip is turned upwards or a shortened nose.

GNG Upturned/Short Nose Rhinoplasty precisely identifies the issues and creates the best possible surgical plan for the case. As all of the surgeries are performed by specialists who have vast amounts of experience and know-how’s. The doctors’ goal will be to create the most ideal nose using the ratios on the face.

Diagnosis of Upturned/Short Nose

When seen from the front, upturned noses have a wider nasolabial angle than the average nose. Therefore, the inside of the nostrils can be seen from the front, and it resembles a pig’s nose.
For short noses, the nasolabial angle is not any different than the average nose, but due to the shortness, the proportion of the nose is not right.

GNG Upturned/short nose Surgery Method

Since upturned/short nose rhinoplasty is a difficult surgery, precise analysis must be made for correct diagnosis and customized surgery plan. Through our differentiated surgery methods, we help patients discover the most ideal ratio for the perfect-fitting nose!

01|Nasal Tip Extension

When the nose is too short

Your own/donated cartilage is used to create a long support implant to extend the length of the nose and firmly fasten it.

02|Lower Alar Cartilage

When nostrils are upturned

If your nostrils are upturned, then the alar cartilage is positioned downwards to fasten and ensure that the nostrils aren’t visible from the front view.

03|Lower Nasal Tip

When the nasal tip is upturned

If the nasal tip is upturned, the septal cartilage is harvested, then inserted and fastened on the nasal tip. After that, the nasal tip can be lowered.

Advantage of GNG Upturned/Short Nose Rhinoplasty

Point 1 The ideal ratio is considered before the length of the nose is extended

The most important aspect to consider in an upturned/short nose rhinoplasty is the extent to which the nasal flesh can extend, as well as, finding the ideally shaped nose according to the facial shape and ratio. At GNG, we have the skills to extract only the minimally required amount of septal cartilage to ensure the proper functionality of the nose. This allows unrestricted extension of the nose. If the nasal flesh is not enough, a skin graft is performed to yield more satisfying results.

Nasal Tip Extension With The Most Ideal Ratio

Point 2 GNG Upturned/Short Nose Rhinoplasty has a low recurrence rate as the support cartilage is custom designed to control the thickness of the cartilage support

The most worrisome part of the Upturned/Short nose Rhinoplasty is the chance of recurrence, and to prevent this, the supporting cartilage must be firmly fastened. To assist in this, GNG offers precise examinations to analyze the problems and to custom design the supporting cartilage. This strong support ensures that there will be recurrence.

Point 3 Minimize side effects as artificial implants aren’t used

Artificial implants such as L shaped silicone aren’t used for upturned/short nose rhinoplasty at GNG.
To extend the length of the nose, GNG uses own/donated cartilage which is stronger and minimizes the side effects (such as inflammation).

GNG Thorough Physical Examination

For our patient’s safety and an accurate surgery plan, we perform precise body examinations including nasal endoscopy, X-rays, and 3D CT Scans.

Usage of the HEPA filter ventilation system in all operation rooms.

What is a HEPA filter ventilated operation room?

The air outside the operating room is filtered cleanly by the HEPA filter and circulated inside.

Because air is circulated by providing clean air through a positive pressure system, you don’t need to worry about infection caused by air pollution thus having surgery with confidence.

Also, there is an air-shower system that shakes off contaminated dust before entering the operating room. We strive to do our best in preventing infection through sterilization and thorough infection control of all medical devices.

Be rest assured! GNG’s operation rooms are meticulously clean.
