The nasal tip is the central component of facial aesthetics and is important in the overall appearance of the nose. Footplates, located at the posterior end of the medial crura, significantly impact the aesthetic outcome of the nasal columella. In our case, a 60-year-old woman with an abnormal nasal shape due to footplate deformity underwent successful correction through rhinoplasty. Successful correction using rhinoplasty highlights its potential benefits in addressing nasal columellar irregularities and their functional aspects.
