It Is Suitable For

What is Nose Column Correction?
If you have a large and rounded nose, the nasal column at the bottom / between the nostrils can be hidden by the ala or nostrils when viewed from the side. This problem is called 'retracted columella'. This procedure helps to pull the nasal column a bit downwards and 'expose' it to give you a more prominent feature.
How It Works
Our affiliated doctor will determine the nose column lengthening required to attain the most satisfactory outcome. A tissue or cartilage composite with rib cartilage or nasal septum may be used as grafting materials. This will depend on your condition.
