A Natural Design Considering Facial Features in Alar Base Reduction Surgery

The nose played an important role in forming a person’s overall image. That is why many people consider rhinoplasty to improve their appearance.

Because the nose is a three-dimensional structure with height on the face, the impression it gives can change depending on its height and shape.

In particular, not only the height of the nose but also the angle between the columella and the philtrum is important.

The columella can have a significant effect on the shape of the nose and can make the nose look longer or shorter, which can also affect the overall length of the face.

If the columella is retracted, the nose may appear short or upturned. At Merry Plastic Surgery Clinic, board-certified plastic surgeon Director Hong Seong-taek provides systematic help from consultation and planning to surgery and aftercare, directly overseeing a natural columella reduction procedure that takes facial features into account so you can achieve a natural and pleasant-looking image.

What Is Columella Reduction Surgery?

The columella refers to the part that supports the tip of the nose like a pillar between the two nostrils. If the shape of the columella is not natural, it can make the side profile of the face or the nose line look awkward even after nose surgery. The ideal columella shape is a nasolabial angle of 95 to 100 degrees, which is the angle formed by the columella and the lip, and an angle of about 45 degrees between the columella and the nasal tip.

If it looks too short or sunken, the columella may appear recessed, making the philtrum look longer or the nose look shorter. It can also have negative effects, such as making the philtrum look hollow and the mouth appear protruded. Columella reduction surgery can improve these concerns, helping create a more natural impression.

thinks of a beautiful nose as

What kind of nose is beautiful and attractive? Is it simply a nose with a high bridge?

The most important thing for a nose to be beautiful for me is that it harmonizes with the face.

Above the nose are the forehead and eyes, and on the sides are the cheekbones, while below are the philtrum and lips. To give a natural and beautiful impression at first glance, the nose must harmonize with these areas.

No matter how aesthetically beautiful a nose is, if it does not suit the person, it cannot be called natural. By considering the proportions of the upper, middle, and lower parts of the face and making appropriate adjustments, it is possible to achieve a nose line and shape that match the face shape and increase satisfaction.

At Merry Plastic Surgery Clinic, we strive not only to create a beautiful nose, but also to produce satisfying results with a harmonious line and shape that suit each person’s face shape.

Careful, Systematic Aftercare

At Merry Plastic Surgery Clinic, we also strive to provide systematic aftercare after surgery.

The columella is a detail that requires even more attention than rhinoplasty itself. Only when aftercare is carried out properly after surgery can stable surgical results be achieved.

At our clinic, based on precise analysis and the customized surgical plan of a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive surgical experience, we provide a design that harmonizes with your face.

Even after surgery, we carefully monitor each patient through systematic aftercare so they can return to daily life as quickly as possible and focus on recovery. If you are curious about detailed columella design right now, we hope you will visit Merry Plastic Surgery Clinic!
