Rhinoplasty at Jewelry Plastic Surgery: eleven techniques and how to choose
Jewelry plans nose work from 3D CT against two ratios — nasal length at about one third of the face and tip height at about one third of nasal height — then picks the technique for the specific issue: hump, deviation, shortness or a bulbous tip.

Implant or your own cartilage?
The bridge is usually built with an implant for controlled height while the tip uses the patient's own septal or ear cartilage to lower the risk of exposure. For revision cases with inflammation or contracture, Jewelry uses rib cartilage harvested through a roughly 2 cm flank incision.
Noses that need shape and breathing fixed together
Crooked and hump noses often come with a deviated septum, so Jewelry treats the bony and cartilaginous parts with separate techniques to straighten the line and improve breathing at once.
Related procedures at Jewelry Plastic Surgery
3D custom rhinoplasty
Designs the bridge and tip from each patient's real facial proportions, keeping tip height at about one third of nasal height for a balanced profile.
Spec-nose augmentation for a low bridge
Raises a flat or low bridge to fit facial proportion, combining an implant with the patient's own cartilage at the tip for a natural finish.
Rib cartilage rhinoplasty
Uses the patient's own rib cartilage harvested through a roughly 2 cm flank incision to build a strong nasal framework — the choice for revision cases with inflammation or contracture.
Slim bulbous nose correction
Refines a blunt tip and wide alae by thinning subcutaneous tissue and restructuring the tip cartilage into a slimmer, balanced shape.
Hump nose correction
Lowers a dorsal hump and can correct a deviated septum or drooping tip in the same session, planned from 3D CT imaging.
Dual crooked nose correction
Treats the deviated bone and the deviated cartilage each with its own technique, straightening the nose while also addressing breathing.
Short nose correction
Lengthens a short nose that shows the nostrils from the front, using a safely harvested amount of the patient's own cartilage and stabilising the tip against re-shortening.
Long nose correction
Trims over-long cartilage and rebuilds the tip strut so nasal length sits at about one third of the face, with hump or deviation correction possible in the same session.
Edge nose tip surgery
Shapes the tip into a soft curve slightly higher than the bridge, without turning up enough to expose the nostrils from the front.
Alar reduction
Narrows the alae to balance the face while keeping nostril length at about two thirds of the nose, with minimal tissue trauma to limit swelling.
Revision rhinoplasty
Analyses why the first operation failed using 3D CT, dissects only as far as needed to limit tissue damage, then rebuilds a balanced nasal line.
Frequently asked questions
- Will a corrected short nose shorten again?
- The hospital states that short-nose correction always includes tip work to build a support structure against re-shortening, with cartilage harvested within a safe range.
