[M Medi][AB Plastic Surgery] Talking About the Key to Elegant Nose Surgery

As the summer vacation season and long holiday weekends approach, more people are visiting plastic surgery clinics for rhinoplasty.

The nose, located at the center of the face, is an important area that adds dimensionality and helps balance the entire face.

It is also a commonly performed procedure for both men and women because changes in height and shape can alter one’s appearance.

Recently, the trend in rhinoplasty has been toward an “elegant nose,” which refers to a nose line that is both natural and striking.

In general, rhinoplasty is divided into ultra-natural, natural, striking, and very striking categories depending on the height, nasolabial angle, and tip shape of the nose.

Elegant nose surgery refers to a nose line that sits between a natural line and a striking line.

At first glance, these may seem like contradictory features, but it is receiving strong support from medical consumers because it can create both a striking and natural impression at the same time.

Before undergoing elegant nose surgery, a 3D-CT scan is essential to analyze each person’s various nose types, such as a low nose, bulbous nose, hump nose, short nose, or crooked nose.

This is because safe results can only be achieved when internal factors are also considered, such as the amount of septal cartilage that can be harvested through 3D-CT and any functional abnormalities.

If problems such as nasal valve stenosis, septal deviation, or hypertrophic rhinitis are found on the 3D-CT scan,

it is possible to proceed with surgery that considers both cosmetic improvement and functional improvement.

In addition, the key to successful elegant nose surgery is designing a plan that brings out the individual’s unique features.

Through a one-on-one customized plan, the angles of the columella and nasolabial angle should be carefully adjusted,

and the curve of the elegant line should be created by taking advantage of the person’s facial features so that the overall harmony from the nasal bridge to the tip is achieved.

Dr. Kim Joo-yeon of AB Plastic Surgery Clinic said, "Elegant nose surgery plays an important role in the medical team’s sense of design and experience. If it is raised indiscriminately without restraint, dissatisfaction with the result or side effects caused by implants may make revision surgery unavoidable." She emphasized,

"Rather than choosing a hospital based only on rhinoplasty reviews or cost, you must consider whether a board-certified plastic surgeon and an anesthesiologist with extensive clinical experience are on site at the medical institution, whether preoperative examinations such as 3D-CT are properly conducted, and whether the safety system and aftercare program are systematically prepared," she advised.
