Augmentation Rhinoplasty
This procedure raises the bridge of the nose using implants, while the tip is defined through the use of a cartilage graft. The overall facial dimension, nasal bone height, and nasal bone width is determined carefully during consultation in order to ensure a natural-looking, proportional nose is produced. In rhinoplasty, silicone is often used due to its flexible properties, which make it easy to contour and shape the nose. Additionally, silicone also provides the advantage of being easily removable.
At SNU we provide strong support to the nasal tip by using ear cartilages to shape the nasal tip. Ear cartilages are soft structures that support the new shape of the nose while reducing the tension formation at the tip.

Tip Plasty
Bulbous Nose
The main goal of the bulbous nose correction is to reduce the size of the nasal tip by removing excess soft tissues. The surgical techniques include repositioning the nasal cartilages to reduce the size of the nose, support the nasal tip using the patient’s own cartilage (ear/septal), and remove excess soft tissue. Ear cartilages may be placed to shape the nasal tip. Through bulbous nose correction, a more refined and sophisticated nasal tip can be achieved.
Broad and Flat Nasal Tip
The broad and flat nasal tip can be corrected through repositioning the nasal tip cartilages. By repositioning the cartilages that shape the nostrils, the size of the flared nostrils can be changed, and the angle of the nose can be corrected. Using the patient’s own cartilage (ear/septal) may be utilized to help support the nasal tip and heightening the tip.

Hump Nose | Deviated Nose
The hump correction involves two important steps: smoothen out the nose bridge, and elevating the drooping nose tip to obtain the harmonious and ideal nose shape. In order to achieve the first step, the protruding portion may be shaved. In some cases, silicone implants can be inserted to elevate the dorsum. The droopy tip can be corrected through modifying the nasal cartilages and by using ear cartilages.
