Nose Surgery Q&A from AB Plastic Surgery

Hello, this is AB Plastic Surgery!

Today, I wrote this post to answer some of the questions you may have about nose surgery.^^

Nose surgery can have very positive effects by addressing appearance-related concerns,

but if it is performed using a method that does not suit you or a design that does not fit you, satisfaction may be low.

As a result, side effects may occur, or you may have to consider revision surgery.

That is why it is essential to consult with medical staff who have abundant clinical experience and the skills and knowledge to match.

So after deciding to undergo nose surgery, many questions may come up.

We at AB Plastic Surgery will give you clear answers, so please read carefully.^^

Can a 17-year-old minor get nose surgery?

It is safest to undergo nose surgery after the growth of the bones and cartilage has completely stopped.

Female: 15 years old (after completing first year of high school)

Male: 16–17 years old (after completing second year of high school)

👉 Why is surgery not recommended too early?

The facial skeleton may not have fully settled yet.

The person may follow trends or be influenced by friends.

The shape of the nose may still change while growth is ongoing.

Therefore, careful decision-making after 충분한 상담 is necessary.

Will the space between the eyebrows get narrower after nose surgery?

Many people think that if osteotomy (nose bone reduction) is performed, the area between the eyebrows will become narrower.

But! The change through osteotomy happens at the "middle bridge of the nose," and it is difficult to narrow the space between the eyebrows itself.

✅ Between the eyebrows: No direct change from nose surgery

✅ Middle bridge of the nose (bridge between the eyes): Can be narrowed through osteotomy

👉 If you are worried about the distance between your eyes being wide?

Rather than raising the bridge of the nose or doing osteotomy, it may be more effective to create a more balanced eye shape through epicanthoplasty.

I just want to smooth down the hump without surgery

Yes! That is possible. 😊

The method may vary depending on the degree of the hump.

✔ If the hump is severe

Hump reduction osteotomy + tip plasty are performed together to create a natural line.

✔ If the hump is not large

Performed with a non-open method without osteotomy

Smooth nose line completed with filler or autologous dermis insertion

Non-surgical methods are also possible depending on the condition of your nose, so it is important to receive an accurate consultation.

Nose surgery is not simply about changing the shape of the nose;

it is a procedure that must consider the balance of the entire face.

Careful decision-making and consultation with experienced medical staff are essential.
