What is Upturned Nose?


 
 

Upturned nose refers to excessively visible nostrils due to rotated nasal tip. It can be caused by congenital reason or contracture from complications of rhinoplasty. It is considered as deformity that is very complicated to be corrected. You can get the ideal nose curve back by April31 PS Correction Technique.

02. Acquired

Upturned nasal tip due to contracture complication after rhinoplasty




Why is there no recurrence after April31 PS Upturned Nosed Correction?


April31 PS Dynamic Correction Technique with sufficient cartilage release allowing

Soft and mobile nasal tip!


Rather than mere cartilage graft on the nasal tip, April31 PS Correction Technique projects and lengthens the tip with sufficient release of alar cartilage to make the nostrils less visible, to prevent recurrence and to create ideal nose curve.

Since the surgery should be performed under the consideration of the level of mouth protrusion, height of the bridge and overall facial balance, effective result can only be achieved by designing the right surgical method according to the severity of upturned nose.


 

 

01. Dynamic Tip Extension Level 1

Prevent re-shortening of the tip by correction with sufficient release

of the alar cartilage

 

 

02. Dynamic Tip Extension Level 2

Sufficient release and fixation by dual insertion to prevent recurrence

and achieve effective extension
