If You're Curious About the Cases and Surgical Process of Your First Nose Surgery

If You're Curious About the Cases and Surgical Process of Your First Nose Surgery?

Now that December is here and 2019 is coming to an end, as the New Year approaches, there are people who want to make new plans and put them into action. Among them, one of the things many people think about is improving their appearance. Unlike in the past, when people only corrected external features that were causing discomfort in daily life, due to the development of modern medical technology, more and more people are now striving not only to fix external features that cause functional problems, but also to become more beautiful.

There are many aspects of appearance, but one area that more and more people seek to improve thanks to advances in medical technology is the features of the face.

Among facial features, the areas people commonly try to beautify are the eyes and nose. Among them, the nose is an important part because it is the most prominent, three-dimensional feature on the face. Because of that, even a small change can greatly improve the overall image.

 

Just as everyone has a different personality and appearance, when trying to improve the nose, there can be many different concerns. For those considering their first nose surgery, there are likely many worries.

From a hump nose, where the bridge protrudes and gives a stubborn and aged impression, to a long nose, which can make the philtrum look short and usually gives an older impression, a bulbous nose that gives a dull impression, a crooked nose, which is problematic not only aesthetically but also functionally, and an upturned nose that cannot create a refined image, there may be various concerns.

You may be wondering what kind of surgical process would be used for these various cases.

The nose also plays an important functional role, such as being responsible for the sense of smell, and because it is the most three-dimensional feature on the face, it is important to create a nose shape that achieves harmony and balance while considering facial proportions, and it is desirable to consider both aesthetics and functionality.

The key points of proper first-time nose surgery can be seen in four areas.

First, because each person has a nose shape that suits them best, it is important to design it while maintaining harmony and balance.

 Also, since it is the most three-dimensional feature on the face, it should be performed so that it has an effect from both the side and the front, considering the bridge of the nose and the forehead line, as well as the chin tip line, forehead, eyes, nose, mouth, cheeks, and facial contours.

Even when making changes, it is not right to pursue too much and perform an excessive surgery. It is important to identify the range and limits of what can be done and proceed safely.

Because the nose is also a sensory organ responsible for smell, it is also important to proceed in a way that considers both aesthetics and functionality, based on the medical team's sense of aesthetics and the functional structure of the nose.

I mentioned that balance is extremely important when it comes to the nose.

It is desirable to create the bridge height, nose tip shape, and nose line while considering the overall proportions of the upper, middle, and lower thirds of the face.

If the forehead and chin are underdeveloped and the midface appears prominent, raising and emphasizing the nose can make the midface stand out even more, so it is better to proceed in a way that makes the nose look softer.

Also, if volume is added to the forehead and chin, A more balanced overall facial appearance can be created.

If the forehead and chin are prominent and the midface appears sunken, it is desirable to create a balanced face by giving a natural point to the nose tip, with a higher nose tip and a bridge between the eyes that is not too high.

The key to proper first-time nose surgery is not to overdo it, and each person’s case is different. It is important to keep in mind that the surgical process must also change according to the many different cases.

At our clinic, in order to plan a surgical process suited to each case, we proceed after performing a detailed examination.
