The Short Nose Correction has been the most challenging part of the history of rhinoplasty. This process is considered to be more challenging for Asians compared to Caucasians due to thicker skin soft tissue envelope and weaker cartilaginous frameworks. Furthermore, most Asian patients additionally require augmentation of the nasal dorsum and projection of the nasal tip, which complicates the short nose correction procedure.
In Short Nose Correction, the most important part is “skillfully lowering the angle of the nasal tip.” In order to do this, various surgical techniques are required. Since most patients are revision patients, the types of cartilages used also vary. Also, the doctor needs to take into consideration the degree of the nose, the density of soft tissues, and the amount of pressure applied to the nasal tip. With years of surgery experiences and know-how. we, Answer Plastic Surgery, promise you the best results.
If you have an infection for a long period of time, the soft tissues conglutinate (stick). This applies pressure on the cartilage of the nose wing and lifts the entire nose upward. A nose with “distortion” often overexposes the nostrils or outlines the prosthesis.
The cartilage is first excoriated (removed) from the surrounding tissues. Then, it is supported with orthotics after it is repositioned to its proper angle.
At Answer Plastic Surgery, we use various techniques for all cases of short nose correction. We generally use personalized artificial cartilages (fixed type; inflexible) or create downward pressure by using ear cartilage (unfixed type; flexible).

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
Generally, people do get scars around the mouth and nose after the operation. However, at Answer Plastic surgery, we use our ultra-fine equipment when suturing to minimize the scars. Over time, the scar will become unnoticeable.
When people do not have enough alar tissue cells, it is difficult to have an alar base surgery. In this case, those who have large nostrils often choose to reduce their nostrils.
Alar lifting is recommended for those whose have droopy alars. When the alars are sagging compared to the nasal column (the section between the nostrils), nostrils seem to be exposed. By lifting the alars, the amount of exposure can be reduced.
