Short Nose Surgery Effects vs. Upturned Nose Correction: 3D Customized Improvement Methods
For those concerned about a short or upturned nose, the center of the face, we analyze the differences between short nose surgery and upturned nose correction. We provide detailed guidance on achieving natural, three-dimensional facial harmony through precise analysis and personalized solutions using 345 Plastic Surgery's exclusive 3D custom implants.

Short Nose Surgery and Upturned Nose Correction: What is the Difference?
Many people use the terms 'upturned nose' and 'short nose' interchangeably, but medically, there are detailed differences. While an upturned nose simply refers to a shape where the nasal tip is tilted upward, a short nose refers to a case where the nasal tip is tilted upward and the actual length of the nose is short compared to the overall facial proportions.

At 345 Plastic Surgery, rather than a uniform correction that simply lengthens the nose, we propose a customized solution by closely analyzing the individual's facial proportions, skin elasticity, and tissue condition.
Precise Short Nose Correction Using 3D Custom Implants
Short nose surgery is performed using either non-implant methods or a 3D customized implant. In particular, 345's 3D custom implants are designed to fit each patient's individual skeletal structure through precise analysis.
- Stable Adhesion: Compared to standard implants, it adheres closely to the surface of the nasal bone, reducing the lifting phenomenon.
- Reduced Risk of Side Effects: Helps minimize potential issues such as implant warping, visibility, and migration.
- Natural Line: Forms a smooth curve from the nasal bridge to the tip, improving any artificial appearance.

Candidates for Short Nose Surgery and Expected Effects
Beyond purely aesthetic purposes, surgery can be considered if the shape of the nose makes your impression look harsh or lacking in three-dimensional volume.
- When the nostrils are excessively exposed when viewed from the front
- When the midface appears relatively long due to a short nose
- When the nasal tip tilts up severely when smiling, altering the facial impression
- When the overall facial contour appears wide due to a short nose

The core of the surgery is to robustly reinforce the supportive structure of the nose and naturally extend the lacking soft tissue. Especially for patients with tight skin, it is important to find the most harmonious length within anatomical limits rather than forcing an excessive extension.
Reliable Safety System: The Principles of 345 Plastic Surgery
For satisfactory results, a safe surgical environment must be supported just as much as the medical team's proficiency. 345 Plastic Surgery operates a systematic system so that patients can receive treatment with peace of mind.

- Resident Anesthesiologist: A dedicated anesthesiologist monitors the entire surgical process.
- Doctor Call System: Ensures smooth communication and responsible care before and after surgery.
- No Ghost Surgeries: The attending specialist directly handles everything from consultation to surgery and aftercare.
Since the appropriate surgical method can vary depending on the individual's skin condition and the amount of septal cartilage, we highly recommend making a decision after sufficient consultation with a specialist who has abundant clinical experience.
