The nose is an important area that affects the image and impression of the face. Depending on the shape and size of the nose, it can have a significant impact on appearance.
Because even a small change can affect appearance, interest in rhinoplasty has continued in plastic surgery. At Gangnam Station Rhinoplasty, columella correction at Merry Plastic Surgery Clinic helps create a natural nasal line and nose tip.
The Role of the Columella

The columella refers to the part that acts as a pillar between the two nostrils. Because it supports the nose tip, the shape of the columella can make the nose look longer or the nostrils look larger. If the columella hangs down too far below the alar cartilage, the nose may look longer. If it is on the same line as the alar cartilage or positioned inward, the philtrum may look longer or the nose may appear wider.
🔍 What Is the Ideal Columella?
In general, when viewed from the front, the columella is considered ideal when it is positioned about 1–2 mm below the end point of the alar cartilage. However, this is only an ideal standard, and it is preferable to make natural improvements suited to each individual by considering both position and angle.
Gangnam Station Rhinoplasty, Columella,
At Merry Plastic Surgery Clinic

At Gangnam Station Rhinoplasty, Merry Plastic Surgery Clinic, the chief director, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Hong Seong-taek, who has extensive anatomical knowledge and surgical experience in rhinoplasty, personally oversees everything from consultation to surgery and aftercare in detail, helping create a natural columella that leads to a natural-looking nose tip.
Columella correction surgery should be performed according to each person’s columella shape and angle.
For women, maintaining a nasolabial angle of about 95–105 degrees, and for men, about 90–105 degrees, can help prevent the nose from looking relatively too long or too short because of the columella. In addition, adjusting the angle between the columella and the nose tip to about 45 degrees can help create a natural line all the way to the nose tip.
At Gangnam Station Rhinoplasty, Merry Plastic Surgery Clinic performs columella correction surgery so that the line from the nose tip to the lips can appear natural.
Thorough Aftercare System

Any surgery carries a risk of side effects. That is why it is always important to work on aftercare following surgery. Our clinic strives to reduce the risk of side effects and help patients manage their recovery through a thorough postoperative care system.
After surgery, to help prevent side effects and support faster recovery, we use various laser devices by surgery type and area, and carefully provide an appropriate aftercare system tailored to each individual.

At Gangnam Station Rhinoplasty, Merry Plastic Surgery Clinic considers safety first, even though external results are important, and strives to achieve a stable surgical plan and outcome.
Through 3D CT, remodeling, and nasal endoscopy, a systematic analysis of the inside of the nose is performed, and a harmonious nose shape and nasal line are designed by considering the height, angle, and length of the nose according to each person’s image.
If you are looking for a natural nasal line design for your nose, we hope you will explore columella correction at Gangnam Station Rhinoplasty, Merry Plastic Surgery Clinic. By carefully considering whether the columella is slightly recessed or overly recessed, and based on extensive anatomical knowledge and experience in rhinoplasty, a harmonious nasal line is created for each individual.
