LUHO PLASTIC SURGERY

LUHO Long Nose/Downturned Nose Surgery

By correcting the length of the nose and the nasal tip, it creates a brighter, more youthful appearance.

A long nose or downturned nose can make the face appear longer and older due to an imbalance between the face and nose. It is also often accompanied by a Hump nose, which may create a darker-looking impression.

When the septal cartilage has grown long and descended, or when the alar cartilages at the nasal tip point downward, reshaping the cartilage can restore overall balance and create a brighter, more youthful appearance.

LUHO Plastic Surgery Long Nose/Downturned Nose Surgery Methods

Alar Cartilage Resection

*A - Nasal tip cartilage

This method removes part of the upper wing portion of the nasal tip cartilage, called the alar cartilage, and sutures the cartilage together.

Septal Cartilage Support

*A - Nasal tip cartilage / B - Septal cartilage support

This surgical method places a septal cartilage support in the columella area to support and elevate the nasal tip cartilage.

Muscle Resection

*A - Muscle resection

When muscles pull the nasal tip downward, the muscles are cut to correct the length of the nasal tip. This also helps prevent the nose from drooping when smiling or pronouncing sounds such as “oh” and “woo.”

Septal Cartilage Resection

*A - Cartilage resection

If the septal cartilage is long, an additional procedure may be performed to trim the end of the cartilage.

Alar Cartilage Surgery to Prevent Recurrence

When loose skin at the nasal tip makes the nose appear long, the elongated skin tissue inside the columella is removed to reduce nasal length.
