❶ An implant or autologous tissue is used to increase the height of the nasal root, making the nose appear longer.

image

*B - Autologous Cartilage

❷ Ear cartilage or other material is inserted at the front of the nasal tip to make the nose appear longer.

CASE 02. An upturned nose with a very short nasal length and visible nostrils (Septal Extension Grafting)

*A - Cartilage Fixation

❷ Autologous cartilage is grafted into the space created by lowering the alar cartilage to secure the repositioned cartilage.

*B - Cartilage Grafting

❸ If the nasal tip is excessively upturned, autologous cartilage is grafted to the front of the nasal tip to lower it.

CASE 03. When the nose is short and the alar rim is retracted upward
