Our Upturned Nose Correction Treatments

Surgical Rhinoplasty

Achieve comprehensive nasal refinement through precise surgical techniques that reshape cartilage and bone structure, creating a more balanced nasal tip angle and improved facial harmony. This procedure addresses the underlying structural causes of an upturned nose by lengthening the nasal tip and reducing nostril show for natural-looking results.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Correct complications from previous nasal surgery that may have resulted in an overly upturned appearance, restoring natural nasal positioning and improving both function and aesthetics. Dr. Miller specializes in complex revision cases, using advanced techniques to address scar tissue and structural challenges from prior procedures.

Nose Tip Surgery

Focus specifically on tip refinement and projection to address upturned positioning while maintaining nasal harmony and creating natural-looking results with targeted precision. This specialized approach allows for focused correction of tip rotation and projection without affecting other areas of the nose.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes an upturned nose?

Upturned noses can result from genetics, birth defects, nasal trauma or injury, or complications from previous rhinoplasty procedures. The nasal tip appears angled upward, making the nose look short and the nostrils more prominent. This creates an imbalanced facial profile that many patients wish to refine.

Who is a good candidate for upturned nose correction?

Ideal candidates are in good health and want to improve their nasal profile by reducing the upturned appearance of their nose tip. Candidates should have realistic expectations about results. A consultation will help determine if surgical rhinoplasty or revision surgery is right for you.

What is recovery like after upturned nose correction?

Recovery varies by procedure. Surgical rhinoplasty typically requires 1-2 weeks before returning to normal activities, with swelling and bruising subsiding within 2-3 weeks. Full results are visible after 6-12 months as healing progresses.

How long do upturned nose correction results last?

Results from surgical rhinoplasty are permanent, though natural aging continues. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and following post-operative instructions helps preserve your refined nasal profile.

What are the risks of upturned nose correction?

As with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks including temporary numbness, bruising, swelling, asymmetry, or scarring. These complications are rare, and Dr. Miller uses meticulous techniques and detailed follow-up care to minimize risks and ensure optimal results.

Can upturned nose correction be combined with other procedures?

Yes. Many patients choose to combine nasal correction with chin augmentation, facelift, or other facial procedures for comprehensive facial harmony. Dr. Miller will create a personalized plan to help you achieve natural-looking, balanced results that enhance your entire facial profile.

What should I expect during my consultation?

During your consultation, Dr. Miller will evaluate your nasal structure, discuss your goals, and review treatment options. You'll receive a detailed surgical plan and a clear understanding of what to expect before, during, and after your upturned nose correction procedure. The NatraLook process ensures natural-looking results that complement your facial features.
