Over-projected nose correction

Feature of over-projected nose

If nose over-projected, nasal tip points downward.

We can call over-projected nose as long nose or pointy nose.

Over-projected nose can make a nose look too big.

Especially from the profile view, it can make face long.

Over-projected nose correction

The purpose of over-projected nose correction is to improve the angle between nasal tip and upper lips, and the length of a nose in proportion to face ratio to ideal.

The ideal angle from nasal tip to upper lips is 90 ~ 95 degrees.

Face can be divided vertically into three equal parts.

The ideal proportion of nose is 1/3 in whole face.

However, Over-projected nose has narrow angle and bigger than 1/3.

Therefore, Long nose rhinoplasty consider this point to make angle and ratio to ideal.

1) Incision along the area between the nostrils. (called the columella)

2) Removing front nasal septum.

3) Making a new nasal tip support.
