The nose is the centrepiece that shapes the dimension of the whole face, and one of the features that can instantly “refresh your look” and make you stand out. That is why the Semi Open nose augmentation programme has become a popular choice for people who want a softly refined nose with seamless results, while keeping it safe and natural-looking.

ProgrammeWhat is Semi Open nose augmentation?

The Semi Open technique combines the closed and open approaches. The surgeon makes a small incision inside the nostril and may open the nose tip very slightly to gain better access to the nasal structure, while still leaving no visible external scar that stands out. This makes it suitable for people who want fine reshaping without going as far as a fully open procedure.

Nose concerns that can be corrected with the nose augmentation programme Semi Open

  1. Short nose
    • A short nose can make the face look flat and lacking in dimension
    • A silicone implant combined with ear cartilage support at the tip helps the nose look slimmer and longer
  2. Low or flat nasal bridge
    • Makes the face look flat, without a focal point
    • A silicone implant raises the nasal bridge to suit the face
  3. Hooked nose tip or drooping nose tip
    • Makes the face look stern rather than gentle
    • Tip augmentation techniques can lift the tip slightly so the face looks softer
  4. Large nose, or a wide or overly round tip
    • Throws off facial proportions
    • The tip can be refined using cartilage shaping and a silicone implant
  5. Nose lacks dimension and looks flat in profile
    • Makes the facial structure look unremarkable
    • Raising the bridge and augmenting the tip gives the nose more dimension
  6. Thin nasal skin at risk of implant extrusion
    • An augmentation that is too thick may risk extrusion in the future
    • Ear cartilage can be used to support the tip, reducing pressure and increasing safety
  7. Slightly crooked or tilted nose
    • Some people have a crooked nose from birth or from an accident
    • A custom-designed silicone implant helps the nose look straighter
  8. Wide nostrils or large alar base
    • Makes the nose look large and out of proportion with the face
    • Alar reduction can be performed together with nose augmentation for a slimmer shape
  9. Had nose augmentation before but unhappy with the result
    • The nose looks stiff and unnatural
    • Can be corrected by reshaping the silicone or adding cartilage for a softer look
  10. Slightly crooked nose, but you do not want an open rhinoplasty
    • In cases where little correction of the bone structure is needed
    • A silicone implant and tip refinement can help the nose look more balanced

Choosing the Semi Open nose augmentation programme is suitable for first-time nose surgery patients who want a more attractive, natural-looking nose without major surgery. For more advice, consult a surgeon to assess your nasal structure and design a nose shape that suits your face.

Benefits of the Semi Open nose augmentation programme

  • Small incision with no visible external scar, as the incision is made inside the nostril
  • Less swelling and bruising and a faster recovery, as the nasal structure is not altered excessively
  • Suitable for first-time nose augmentation or for people whose existing nasal structure is fairly good
  • The nose implant can be designed to suit your facial structure, with the height and shape chosen for each individual
  • The tip can be made softer using ear cartilage or your own tissue

Who is it suitable for?

  • People with a low nasal bridge who want more height to suit their face
  • People with a short nose or a thin tip who want more length or a softer tip
  • People who want to revise a previous nose augmentation to look more natural
  • People who want a nose with more dimension without significantly changing the nasal structure
  • People who want alar reduction for smaller nostrils and a slimmer, well-shaped nose

Materials used in nose augmentation

1. Tip support with ear cartilage Another increasingly popular material for supporting the nose tip is cartilage taken from behind the patient’s own ear. It adds strength and reduces the risk of a thinning tip or implant extrusion in the future.

Highlights

  • Strengthens the nose tip
  • Reduces tension and the risk of extrusion
  • Suitable for people who want a projected tip but have thin skin

Suitable for

  • People with thin skin at the nose tip
  • People who want a projected, natural-looking tip

2.Tip support with tailbone tissue Using tissue from the tailbone area (dermofat graft) is another safe way to augment the nose tip. The tissue is flexible and highly compatible with the body.

Highlights

  • Reduces the risk of allergic reactions or complications, as it uses your own tissue
  • Helps the tip look soft and natural
  • Reduces the chance of a thinning tip or extrusion in the long term

Suitable for

  • People who want a natural-looking nose augmentation
  • People who do not want to use external implant materials

Comparison of tip support materials: benefits, considerations and who each technique suits

Technique Material used Highlights Who is it for?
Ear cartilage Ear cartilage Strong, projected tip, lower risk of extrusion Thin skin at the tip, want a projected tip
Tailbone tissue Your own tissue Natural, fewer allergic reactions, lower risk of extrusion Concerned about using external materials

Steps of the Semi Open nose augmentation programme

  1. The surgeon first assesses your nasal and facial structure to see which procedures are suitable, then marks the surgical points
  2. The surgeon injects local anaesthetic into the nose and any areas that would otherwise be painful. If tip support is needed, the material agreed between the patient and surgeon may be used (such as ear cartilage or tailbone tissue)
  3. Once the anaesthetic takes effect, the surgeon makes incisions inside both nostrils
  4. With SLC’s technique, medical-grade silicone is carved case by case, which gives a soft, attractive nose shape
  5. Once the shape is attractive and balanced according to the surgeon’s assessment, the incisions are closed meticulously

Aftercare following the Semi Open nose augmentation programme

  • Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling during the first 48 hours
  • Avoid sleeping on your side or front to prevent pressure on the nose
  • Avoid strenuous exercise and any activity that could knock the nose
  • Avoid fermented and pickled foods, spicy food and alcohol during recovery
  • Clean the wound as instructed by your doctor
