Low Nose Surgery
Low nose surgery is typically required when the bridge of the nose is low. In most cases, a low bridge is accompanied by a low nose tip. Therefore, the procedure often involves raising both the bridge and the tip of the nose. Asians, in particular, tend to have a low bridge, necessitating a significant lift. This often involves the use of artificial implants, which can increase the risk of complications compared to using autologous (one’s own) tissue. It’s crucial to understand the patient’s individual condition and use only the necessary amount of materials to avoid overdoing the surgery.
When is Low Nose Surgery Needed?
Low nose surgery may be necessary in the following cases:
① When the face lacks three-dimensionality and appears flat.
② When the tip of the nose is low, with minimal protrusion.
③ When the bridge of the nose is low.
④ When the nose appears low and short in comparison to the rest of the facial structure.
Method of Low Nose Surgery
If only the bridge of the nose needs to be raised, a closed nose surgery, also known as endonasal rhinoplasty, is a viable option. This minimally invasive approach involves making incisions inside the nostrils, which results in no visible scarring on the outside of the nose. The surgeon can then access and reshape the nasal bridge to achieve the desired elevation and contour.
However, if the tip of the nose also requires modification, an open surgery, or open rhinoplasty, is generally considered more advantageous. In this procedure, an incision is made across the columella, the tissue between the nostrils, allowing the surgeon to lift the skin and fully expose both the bridge and the tip of the nose. This comprehensive view provides greater precision and control, enabling the surgeon to make more intricate adjustments to the tip’s shape, angle, and projection, in addition to raising the bridge. This method, although more invasive, typically leads to more satisfactory and harmonious results, especially in cases where multiple areas of the nose need correction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why consider low nose surgery in South Korea at THE PLUS PS?
South Korea, particularly Gangnam, is renowned for advanced cosmetic surgery techniques, including low nose surgery. THE PLUS PS offers expert surgeons who are experienced in tailoring procedures to fit individual patient needs, ensuring both aesthetic and functional enhancements. This attention to detail, combined with state-of-the-art facilities, makes South Korea an attractive destination for this procedure.
What are the advantages of closed versus open rhinoplasty at THE PLUS PS?
At THE PLUS PS, closed rhinoplasty is generally used when only the nasal bridge needs adjustment, offering a minimally invasive technique with no visible external scars. In contrast, open rhinoplasty provides a more comprehensive approach for rebuilding both the bridge and the tip, essential for difficult cases requiring intricate support and precision. The choice of method ensures optimal results, tailored to the patient’s specific needs.
How does THE PLUS PS manage risks associated with implants in low nose surgery?
THE PLUS PS prioritizes patient safety by carefully evaluating the patient’s nasal structure and selecting the appropriate material—whether artificial implants or autologous tissue. They aim to minimize complications by using the least amount of material necessary and preferring autologous tissue when suitable, thus reducing the chances of rejection or other post-surgery complications.
