The Two Big Names Among Celebrities with Beautiful Noses? A Detailed Analysis of Shin Se-kyung and Oh Yeon-seo’s Noses (Nose Line Tips)

Hello, this is Obje Plastic Surgery.

Today, I’d like to talk about something many people ask about during rhinoplasty consultations. The question is: “What kind of nose line should I choose if I want a nose as pretty as a celebrity’s?”

Because so many people really worry about this, most of the patients who visit us bring photos of specific celebrities for consultation. I think that’s because they feel a conversation with a clear example will communicate more effectively.

What’s interesting, though, is that we are shown photos of Shin Se-kyung and Oh Yeon-seo very often. Since we see these photos so frequently, I ask why they chose those two.

Shin Se-kyung’s nose, Oh Yeon-seo’s nose are the prettiest.

I just want it to look pretty like that.

That’s usually the answer we get. It’s certainly true that both Shin Se-kyung’s nose and Oh Yeon-seo’s nose are objectively beautiful.

So what are the characteristics of a celebrity nose that everyone has to admit is beautiful? Let me explain in detail.

A Nose Line That Represents the Trend in Rhinoplasty?

The Common Features of Shin Se-kyung’s Nose and Oh Yeon-seo’s Nose

From the 1990s to the early 2000s, the main reason for rhinoplasty was to improve a low nasal bridge. As a result, surgical methods were also focused on raising the “bridge.” (To put it a little more exaggeratedly, just raising the bridge was enough.)

Because of that, the main goal was to increase the bridge height with an implant, and details such as the height of the tip or the line connecting the bridge and tip were not fully considered.

The fact that the implant used most commonly at the time was L-shaped silicone also shows what rhinoplasty trends were like back then. Since L-shaped silicone is placed as a connected implant from the bridge to the tip, it was difficult to create a detailed nose line.

But nowadays, rhinoplasty is no longer just about raising the bridge. As rhinoplasty methods have advanced, the trend has shifted from focusing only on the bridge to also paying attention to the nasal tip.

Surgery has evolved from a method centered on raising the bridge to one that carefully creates the line formed by the bridge and the tip. As a result, a variety of nose designs have emerged.

Examples include the semi-upturned nose, which creates a soft curve as the bridge connects to the tip and emphasizes a feminine impression; the straight nose, which makes the line close to a straight line and emphasizes a metropolitan impression; and the straight-semi-upturned nose, which finds a middle ground between the two and creates a smooth line, emphasizing a natural yet refined impression.

Another reason these various nose lines have formed into a kind of trend is the influence of the noses of popular celebrities. When dramas starring celebrities with a pure and feminine mood become popular, the semi-upturned nose may be in style; when celebrities with a chic or glamorous impression draw attention, the straight nose may be preferred.

Even so, regardless of trends, the photos people steadily show us while saying, “Please make it like this celebrity,” are of Shin Se-kyung and Oh Yeon-seo. In that sense, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they are the very figures leading rhinoplasty trends across generations. ^^

But you may be wondering that there is a separate reason why Shin Se-kyung’s nose and Oh Yeon-seo’s nose are beautiful, right? I’ll explain that reason in more detail.

Why Are Shin Se-kyung’s and Oh Yeon-seo’s Noses So Beautiful?

It’s because the 00, 00, and 00 are harmonious.

First, shall we analyze Shin Se-kyung’s nose line?

Many people think Shin Se-kyung has a very high nasal bridge. But if you look closely, the bridge between the eyes is not especially high. It gradually rises from the nasal ridge and connects to the tip with a straight-semi-upturned line, which gives her a pure yet sophisticated impression.

The volume of the columella is also naturally balanced, which is why Shin Se-kyung’s nose makes us admire it as an “ideal nose line from a textbook” in plastic surgery.

In general, rhinoplasty focuses on the bridge and the tip (and in the past, the bridge was the only thing considered, so taking the tip into account is already a big improvement^^). However, the columella also needs to be considered carefully. That’s because the columella plays a role in shaping the overall impression and mood of the nose.

That is why the proportion created by the three elements — the bridge, the tip, and the columella — is crucial in making a beautiful nose.

Shall we look at Oh Yeon-seo’s nose as well? Oh Yeon-seo’s nose also has a soft line from the bridge to the tip, and the point of the tip has a rounded feel. When you look at Oh Yeon-seo, you may get an elegant impression, but the reason she can also carry a pure and gentle mood is precisely because of this nose line.

However, the volume of the columella is slightly less than in Shin Se-kyung’s nose. Still, in terms of proportion, Oh Yeon-seo’s nose can also be described as an ideal nose shape, just like the one shown in plastic surgery textbooks. That’s why it makes anyone think, “Her nose is really beautiful.”

In fact, when we ask patients why these people’s noses look so beautiful, they do not talk about the angle of the nasolabial angle, the height of the bridge, or the shape of the tip. They often simply say, “It just looks pretty at a glance.”

In a way, this is the most important point. The shape of the nose that people instinctively find beautiful is already set. The noses that look beautiful at first glance, the noses that everyone instinctively finds beautiful, are those in which the relationship (proportion) among the three elements — the bridge, the tip, and the columella — is beautiful.

That is why, in order to achieve a nose like Shin Se-kyung’s or Oh Yeon-seo’s, it is very important to balance the proportions of the three rhinoplasty elements: the bridge, the tip, and the columella.

A Truly Beautiful Nose Is Pure and Refined!

It needs to convey innocence, naturalness, and sophistication all at once.

At Obje Plastic Surgery, we refer to nose types like Shin Se-kyung’s and Oh Yeon-seo’s as a pure and refined nose. Many people known as celebrities with beautiful noses, such as Minji from NewJeans and Sullyoon from NMIXX, have noses of this pure and refined type.

So what exactly is a pure and refined nose? The expression “pure and refined” refers to a nose shape that conveys innocence, naturalness, and sophistication all at the same time.

This is a term unique to Obje Plastic Surgery, created through analyzing the nose shapes that patients prefer, so it may feel unfamiliar to first-time visitors to the Obje blog. Let me explain it in a bit more detail!

Most people choose rhinoplasty because they want to make their overall impression more sophisticated. In fact, rhinoplasty often changes the overall mood a person naturally gives off. What matters, however, is that this change in atmosphere should happen naturally. (This is something both patients and medical staff agree on.)

That is why the nose shape people want most can be summed up as a natural yet sophisticated “refined nose.” At Obje Plastic Surgery, we add a sense of innocence to that and create a pure and refined nose line.

So when patients bring photos of noses like Shin Se-kyung’s or Oh Yeon-seo’s that many people want, we find the optimal proportions for their face so that the result of rhinoplasty naturally harmonizes innocence, naturalness, and sophistication.

To create a natural bridge that is not too high between the eyes, we first consider the height of the tip and design a beautiful tip. Then, we set the bridge height so that it connects smoothly from the nasal ridge to the tip, creating a beautiful nose line from any angle. Finally, we finish by adding volume so that the columella sits 1–2 mm slightly below the alar base.

At Obje Plastic Surgery, because the bridge, tip, and columella are operated on in a well-balanced way without any one feature being excessive, the overall impression can be changed naturally and elegantly.

Whenever a drama or movie becomes popular, rhinoplasty trends continue to change depending on the celebrities appearing in it. However, the noses that are consistently mentioned as beautiful celebrity noses and continue to lead trends are the pure and refined noses of Shin Se-kyung and Oh Yeon-seo. That is because they are the nose shapes many people want and the noses considered beautiful.

To achieve this pure and refined type of nose (or refined nose), it is important not simply to raise the bridge, but to operate while considering the bridge, the tip, and the columella as well. And please remember that the height and shape of the tip are especially important.

In particular, rhinoplasty is not only about changing the impression, but because the nose is located at the center of the face, it is most important to make the change natural while creating a sophisticated atmosphere.

If you are considering a pure and refined nose rhinoplasty that is harmonious from the bridge to the tip and columella, rather than a nose that only has a high bridge or a pointed tip, please remember Obje Plastic Surgery.

Also, if you have concerns about other nose shapes such as a blunt nose, a wide-fleshed nose, or a hooked nose, you can always contact Obje Plastic Surgery. We will guide you kindly and in detail.
