Is It Always Possible to Raise the Tip of the Nose? Director Lee Kyung-mook's Answer!

Is It Always Possible to Raise the Tip of the Nose?

Director Lee Kyung-mook's Answer!

Hello.

This is Obje Plastic Surgery.

If you searched for nose surgery because you thought

that even if the tip of your nose were just a little higher,

it would give you a much more refined impression,

You may have come across statements like these:

"It is dangerous for people with thin skin."

"Just because you get nose surgery

does not mean it will definitely become higher."

When you first looked it up,

you may have done so casually,

thinking,

"Maybe I can just raise the tip a little?"

But after reading posts like these,

you may have started to feel uneasy.

In fact, raising the tip of the nose

is not as simple as you might think.

It is not something that can be raised

definitely to the exact extent you want,

because the possible range changes depending on

the structure of the nose and the condition of the skin.

So today, we will explain one by one

whether raising the tip of the nose

is truly possible for everyone,

and in what cases there are limitations.

If you read until the end,

you will be able to judge more clearly

how much your nose can be raised.

Raising the tip of the nose: the decision is made by OO

When thinking about nose surgery,

most people focus only on cartilage or implants.

In fact, the most important thing is the

"skin" that covers the outside of the nose.

No matter how beautifully the internal structure is made,

if there is not enough room when it is covered with skin,

you ultimately have to lower it again.

What this means is that when raising the tip of the nose,

the internal structure is created with cartilage and implants,

and the skin has to cover it

for the final nose shape to be completed.

The problem occurs here.

If there is not enough room in the skin,

it cannot properly cover a structure that has been raised too much,

and as the skin is pulled tight,

the implant or cartilage may become visible,

or

the nostrils may spread apart in a straight line.

In particular, if the tip of the nose originally has little volume

or the skin is thin,

these problems can easily appear

even with just a slight overcorrection.

That is why the final factor in nose surgery is skin.

No matter how perfectly the internal structure is made,

if the skin cannot naturally cover it,

an unsatisfactory shape will inevitably result.

Therefore, if you are considering raising the tip of your nose,

you should first think not about "the height I want,"

but about "the height my skin can handle."

Target score 100?

An "80" may be better

During consultations,

many people show a photo of a high nose and say,

"Please make mine like this."

Of course, I understand that feeling completely.

But that level of height does not suit everyone.

When the doctor pulls the tip of the nose during simulation,

there are cases where the skin becomes too tight

or the nostrils become overly visible.

In such cases,

the direction has to be adjusted

to something a little lower than the height you want.

"Then does that mean I have to give up what I want?"

People ask this,

but rather than giving up,

if aiming for 100 points increases the risk of side effects,

it means adjusting it to around 70 to 80 points.

This actually creates a more natural result

that lasts longer.

Another thing I want to mention is that

an even 1 mm difference

can make a surprisingly big difference.

Looking only at the number,

it is easy to think, "Just 1 mm?"

but in reality, even a 1 mm difference

can completely change the impression.

So it is not about simply making it as high as possible,

but about finding the proper height

that best suits your face.

Here, the proper height means

looking comprehensively at the condition of the skin, the structure of the nose,

and the overall balance of the face

and determining the level that can remain most natural

and be maintained without side effects.

In the end, the most important thing in raising the tip of the nose

is not "the height I want,"

but

remember that it is about finding "the height that suits my face."

Why you should not decide, "I can raise it this much!"

If you look in the mirror at home

and lightly lift the tip of your nose with your hand,

you may think,

"Oh? This seems fine."

But that is only how it looks

when temporarily pushed up with your hand,

so it is very different from what it will be like after surgery.

At the hospital,

the doctor performs tests directly to check how much the tip can be raised,

whether the eyes will look too close together when the bridge is pulled,

and whether there is enough room in the skin,

checking each point one by one.

Through these tests, the doctor can determine things like,

"If we raise it 6 mm, the eyes may look too close together,"

"It is safest to raise the tip only up to this point."

Another important point is

for people who have eye surgery and nose surgery together.

Originally, they planned to do the inner corner of the eyes as well

and raise the nose,

but after testing, if raising the nose makes the eyes look too close together,

they may change the plan to skip the inner corner procedure

and do only double eyelids.

This is not something you can judge on your own at home,

so you must visit the clinic

and receive a doctor's diagnosis.

Raising the tip of the nose is not simply about deciding on the height,

but a procedure that must consider

the balance of the entire face,

so consultation with a specialist is truly important.

Today, we explained that raising the tip of the nose

is not always possible,

and that the possible height changes depending on

the condition of the skin and the overall facial balance.

I completely understand the desire to raise it

as much as you want,

but if it is raised too much,

it can lead to unnatural results or side effects.

So the most important thing is

finding the most natural height

within the range your skin can handle.

Director Lee Kyung-mook of Obje Plastic Surgery

diagnoses the condition of the skin and the structure of the nose in detail,

and finds the most suitable natural height

for each patient.

Rather than simply making it higher,

the priority is finding the proper balance that suits your face.

I hope this article has resolved all of your questions

about raising the tip of the nose.
