Additionally, septal cartilage and ear cartilage were used to structure and refine the nasal tip.To address the drooping of the tip, we performed a depressor septi muscle resection, which helps prevent the tip from pulling downward, particularly when smiling.There was also a slight dorsal hump on the nasal bridge, which we corrected through a hump removal procedure.<img src="http://www.kowonps.com/data/editor/2006/10c5f71a7b225b5bf68057b138615661_1593503657_6702.jpg" title="10c5f71a7b225b5bf68057b138615661_1593503657_6702.jpg">Here’s a basal (bottom-up) view after surgery.

When this happens, the nose can usually be re-extended by adding an additional piece of cartilage to restore the desired projection.With the right technique and thoughtful planning, even challenging cases like this one can achieve a natural, masculine, and refined result. At KOWON, we strive for balance, long-term stability, and patient satisfaction—especially in complex or revision cases.<img src="http://kowonps.com/data/editor/2311/f4b9bce7388ddf3b9abf9022fe11db46_1698994728_5983.gif" title="f4b9bce7388ddf3b9abf9022fe11db46_1698994728_5983.gif"> &nbsp;
