Hello.

This is Objet Plastic Surgery.

When the nostrils look spread out,

you may have thought

that you only needed to reduce the width of the nose.

But after actually getting a consultation,

you may have been caught off guard by comments like,

"It looks like the tip should be done at the same time."

"We need to look at the overall proportions."

You may have felt confused

after hearing things like that.

You probably thought

simply reducing the nostrils would be enough,

but after looking into it more closely,

it turns out to be more complicated than expected.

In fact, there are many different reasons

why the nostrils may appear wide.

So for some people,

simply reducing the nostrils

can make a clear difference,

while for others,

reducing only the nostrils can actually make the nose look worse.

Even with the same nasal ala reduction surgery,

the result can be completely different

depending on the condition of your nose.

So today,

we’ll organize things step by step:

which cases are suitable for nasal ala reduction,

which cases require a different approach,

and what criteria you should use

when choosing a clinic.

If you read to the end,

you’ll be able to judge more clearly

whether nasal ala reduction is the right choice for your nose.

A nose that only needs the nostrils reduced?

Not every bulbous nose is the same!

Not every bulbous nose is

the same.

There are cases where the bridge and tip

have a relatively appropriate height,

but the nostrils are spread wide.

In such cases,

nasal ala reduction alone can be enough

to create a noticeably more refined impression.

If the bridge is somewhat raised

and the tip is not blunt,

but only the width of the nose is broad,

then simply reducing the nostrils

can make the overall nasal proportions

look much more balanced.

This kind of nose already has

vertical dimension and structure.

So if you adjust only the horizontal width,

the balance can be restored naturally.

To put it simply,

it is like a building that already stands tall enough,

where you only need to tidy up

the parts that stick out on both sides.

Since the height is sufficient,

the whole structure can be completed beautifully

even by reducing only the width.

Therefore, if the bridge and tip

are already well-formed and slender,

nasal ala reduction surgery alone

can deliver satisfying results.

A nose like this

should not be treated by reducing only the nostrils!

On the other hand,

what happens if the bridge is low

and the tip is blunt,

but only the nostrils are reduced?

In this case,

the bluntness of the tip may stand out even more.

If a nose is overall low and wide,

narrowing only the width

can make the tip appear relatively larger

and more dull.

It is similar to narrowing only the sides

of a low building.

If the height is low

and the width is reduced as well,

the low and flat feeling

can actually become more pronounced.

In fact, in such cases,

people sometimes undergo only nasal ala reduction surgery

and then later worry about revision surgery because of complaints like:

"It looks more cramped than before."

"I think the tip looks even more blunt."

In situations like this,

rather than reducing the nostrils,

it is much more natural to enhance the bridge and tip together

so the overall dimensionality improves.

In the end, what matters is whether the nostrils appear wide because of the nostrils themselves,

or because the overall height and proportions make them look relatively wide.

Only by accurately distinguishing between those two can you find the right solution.

The right choice for my nose,

what should I look at? OO!

If you’ve read this far,

you’re probably wondering:

"Then how can I tell which case my nose falls into?"

The answer is simple.

Choose a clinic that looks not only at the width of the nose,

but also at the overall proportions.

Just because it is nasal ala reduction surgery,

does not mean the clinic should focus only on the nostrils.

A truly skilled clinic is one that carefully looks at

which parts of your nose should be reduced

and which parts should be preserved.

They should also assess the overall details,

including the height of the bridge,

the angle of the tip,

and how thick the skin is.

They also need to consider

how much the nostrils have spread.

Only by comprehensively evaluating all of these factors

can they create a nose that fits the proportions.

Rather than simply saying,

"We only need to reduce the nostrils,"

it is more like saying,

"Since the bridge and tip are at this level,

adjusting only the nostrils will be enough."

Or,

"If we reduce only the nostrils,

the tip may look even more blunt,

so it would be better to consider the tip as well."

A clinic that explains things with specific reasons like this

is one you can trust.

During the consultation process,

please check whether they do more than simply explain the surgical method,

and whether they accurately analyze the current condition of your nose

and suggest the best direction accordingly.

Today, we talked about

cases where nasal ala reduction surgery is suitable

and cases where it is not,

as well as the criteria for choosing a clinic.

In the end, what matters is

looking at the nose as a whole.

You should reduce what needs to be reduced

and preserve what needs to be preserved

to create a nose with balanced proportions.

Director Park Si-hyun

of Objet Plastic Surgery

when consulting with people considering

nasal ala reduction surgery,

does not look only at the width of the nose.

He carefully analyzes the overall nasal structure,

including the bridge, tip, and skin thickness,

and provides a personalized diagnosis

that best suits each patient’s facial proportions.

If you are considering nasal ala reduction,

please be sure to consult with medical staff

who look at the overall proportions as well.

This has been Objet Plastic Surgery.

Thank you.
