The expression "slim nose" can refer to the width of the nasal bridge or to a slender appearance of the nasal tip. Case records document patient requests for a slender shape, as well as narrowing of the nasal bridge width while correcting asymmetry from prior surgeries. First, check which areas appeared wide and what the goal was to make them look more slender.
Case records also include notes where the nasal tip projection and nasolabial angle changed immediately after surgery, giving a slender impression. At this stage, the appearance in immediately postoperative photos should not be interpreted as long-term width changes. By distinguishing between the nasal bridge and nasal tip, patient requests and surgeon observations, and the timing of each photo, you can more accurately compare different slim-line cases.

A case of a patient seeking a slimmer line after a previous rhinoplasty. Nasal tip reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, nasal bridge implant replacement with lowering of the radix, nasal sill reduction, and full-face autologous fat grafting were performed together.
Patient goals
A case where post-surgical trauma caused a septal tear, resulting in a crooked nose and nostril asymmetry. Septal reconstruction was performed using autologous rib cartilage, along with realigning the columellar central axis and replacing the implant.
Patient goals
A high, deviated silicone implant was replaced to lower the radix, and septal extension was performed using donor rib cartilage. Partial soft tissue resection, cartilage tie, and rhinitis surgery addressed the bulbous tip and nasal obstruction.
Patient goals
A blunt, pug-like nose, retracted columella, and wide nasal bridge were transformed into a slim, three-dimensional profile using autologous rib cartilage tip plasty, columellar lowering, lateral osteotomy, and cartilage reduction with suturing.
Patient goals
A case of persistent nostril asymmetry and nasal valve stenosis after multiple surgeries, addressed by removing existing implants, performing septoplasty and turbinoplasty, and reconstructing the structure with rib cartilage and a skin graft.
Patient goals · Postoperative record
Foreign material was removed from the nasal bridge, and lateral osteotomy, a custom-carved silicone implant, and donor rib cartilage were used to eliminate the dorsal step-off, creating a slim, straight bridge line.
Patient goals · Postoperative record
For a blunt, wide bulbous nose and drooping tip following nasal filler injections, we performed filler removal, created a tip support structure using autologous rib cartilage, reinforced the septum, and thinned the skin.
Patient goals
In a case where residual artificial dermis from a previous procedure formed a dorsal hump and weakened the septal support, the artificial dermis was dissected and removed, lateral osteotomy and dorsal hump reduction were performed, the nasal tip was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, and the silicone implant was replaced.
Patient goals
For cleft lip- and palate-related asymmetry and alar deformities, septal reconstruction and dorsal augmentation were performed using autologous rib cartilage, along with alar reconstruction using ear cartilage and lateral osteotomy.
Patient goals
For an overly high "Pinocchio-like" deviated nose with septal damage, the silicone implant was removed, and autologous rib cartilage reconstruction, radix adjustment, and nasal sill reduction were performed.
Patient goals
To improve a dorsal hump, crooked nose, and drooping arrow nose when smiling, autologous rib cartilage was used to reposition the nasal tip, combined with lateral osteotomy, septoplasty, and rhinitis surgery.
Patient goals
A wide, blunt nasal bridge, drooping nasal tip, and retracted columella were corrected into a slim, three-dimensional profile using septal extension with autologous rib cartilage, nasolabial angle correction, and nostril sill reduction.
Patient goals
A case correcting a pinched nose caused by Medpor discovered after three surgeries and cartilage defects, through foreign material removal and full reconstruction of the alar cartilages and septum using autologous rib cartilage.
Patient goals
A case where a crooked nasal bone and drooping bulbous tip remaining after previous dorsal hump correction were straightened through lateral osteotomy, septal extension using autologous rib cartilage, hump rasping, and rhinitis surgery.
Patient goals
A case in which nasal tip plasty with autologous rib cartilage, lateral osteotomy, nasal floor reduction, and nasolabial angle correction were performed together to correct a blunt bulbous nose, wide nasal base, and crooked nasal bridge.
Postoperative record
To improve a wide nose and drooping tip in a patient with a history of cleft lip and palate surgery, autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction, nasal tip elevation, nasal sill reduction, and inferior turbinate surgery were performed.
Postoperative record
For a nasal bridge that became wide and crooked after filler injections, accompanied by a dorsal hump and bulbous tip, a combined procedure was performed consisting of lateral osteotomy, tip elevation using autologous rib cartilage, hump rasping, nasal sill reduction, and rhinitis surgery.
Patient goals · Postoperative record
For a wide nasal bridge and an upturned nasal tip resulting from repeated surgeries and nasal bridge thread-lifting procedures, foreign material was removed, lateral osteotomy was performed, and septal reconstruction was carried out by recycling existing autologous rib cartilage and supplementing with donor rib cartilage.

The records include both cases where nasal bridge width was addressed with osteotomy and cases where a slender appearance was observed after changes in nasal tip projection and the nasolabial angle. The same design phrase can refer to changes in different areas. Reviewing the surgery details to see whether the nasal bridge was narrowed or the nasal tip shape was altered helps clarify the differences behind a single umbrella term.
Some original records note that immediately after surgery, increased nasal tip projection and changes in the nasolabial angle created a slender appearance. Because this is an observation at that specific point in time, it does not replace long-term follow-up documentation. You can compare before-and-after appearances by checking the requested design, the areas actually operated on, and when the photos were taken.
