Won’t Nose Surgery Make My Nostrils Uneven? Dr. Jang Uk’s Answer!

Won’t nose surgery make my nostrils uneven?

Dr. Jang Uk’s answer!

Hello.

This is Objet Plastic Surgery.

People considering nose surgery generally fall into two broad groups.

Those who want a nose with a more defined, striking impression, even if it is a little glamorous, and those who want a nose that looks natural and subtle without drawing attention.

Today’s post is for the second group,

those who want natural-looking results.

The more natural a nose you want,

the more concerned you become with whether the two nostrils look symmetrical from the front.

You may have seen cases among people around you who had nose surgery, where the nostril shape looks pulled to one side and the impression seems awkward.

So today, we will calmly explain

why results can make the nostril shapes look different left and right,

and what should be checked to ensure a nose that suits your face

and stays stable over time.

If you read to the end,

it will become clearer what criteria you should use

when considering nose surgery.

Uneven nostrils,

You can spot it by looking at these two parts

First, the conclusion.

Uneven nostrils after nose surgery are not a problem of shape itself,

but a matter of how the nasal structure is arranged.

In particular, two parts greatly affect the result.

The first is the firmness of the columella and

the balance of the cartilage on both sides.

At the tip of the nose, there is a central pillar called the columella.

The word “pillar” may sound difficult,

but you can think of it as the vertical line that divides the space between the two nostrils.

If the columella provides firm support, and the thickness and position of the cartilage on both sides are balanced,

the nostrils take on a symmetrical oval shape.

On the other hand, if the columella is weak, or if the thickness and position of the cartilage on both sides are slightly off,

one nostril may look larger,

or the other may look narrowly compressed,

creating asymmetry.

The second is

the angle of the nasal tip.

When trying to enhance the bridge line,

if the nasal tip is lifted too far upward,

from the front

the nostrils appear elongated horizontally,

showing an “11” shape.

In this state,

even slight left-right asymmetry becomes much more noticeable.

If the tip is even slightly crooked,

it can lead to nostrils that look uneven.

In the end, the result of uneven nostrils after nose surgery

depends on how the columella, cartilage, and tip angle are designed.

A trendy nose

vs. a nose that suits my face

Now there is a second point to cover.

Among people considering nose surgery, many show a celebrity’s nose or a nose seen on social media and say,

“Please make my nose like this.”

That feeling is completely understandable, but a trendy nose shape does not necessarily suit every face in the same way.

Even with the same nose design, it may look natural on one person and awkward on another.

The reason is simple.

The nose is a feature that is seen together with the rest of the face.

The angle of the forehead, the width between the eyes,

the length of the midface, the distance to the mouth,

the skin thickness, and the width of the nostrils.

All of these factors must come together with the nose shape

to create a natural impression.

The golden ratio often mentioned in nose design works the same way.

You may have heard that

the nose length should be one-third of the total face length,

the width of the nostrils should match the distance between the eyes,

and the ideal nasal tip angle is 95 to 105 degrees.

These numbers can be useful as reference points, but they are not a single correct answer that applies equally to everyone.

If the starting point of the bridge is set too high for someone with a slightly low forehead,

the impression can become artificial,

and

if a large implant is forced onto someone with thin skin,

the contour may become visibly apparent over time.

In particular, if the height and angle of the nasal tip are decided without considering facial proportions,

it can easily lead to the uneven nostril appearance mentioned earlier.

In the end, the standard for nose surgery should not be “a nose known to look pretty,”

but “a nose that is harmonious within my face and remains stable over time.”

Jaryeon Nose, the two secrets to long-lasting results

Lastly, I’d like to talk about the “Jaryeon Nose” approach pursued at Objet.

Jaryeon Nose focuses on achieving two goals together.

A shape that looks good right now,

and a shape that stays the same over time.

To do this, two main points are prioritized when designing the structure.

First, the use of autologous tissue.

When shaping the nasal tip,

we primarily use your own tissue, such as ear cartilage or dermis.

Autologous tissue naturally settles in with the surrounding tissue over time.

So compared with implants, there are fewer changes in shape,

and even after 1 year or 5 years,

the nasal tip line remains stable without becoming significantly distorted.

Second, reinforcing the columellar structure.

In Jaryeon Nose,

additional autologous cartilage is used to support the columella from the inside.

With this support,

time-related drooping of the nasal tip

or a shift that makes the nostrils appear pulled to one side can be reduced.

For the bridge as well,

the width between the eyes, the curve of the forehead,

and the thickness and elasticity of the skin are all considered,

and the type and thickness of the implant are chosen differently for each person

within the overall facial proportions.

Only then can the bridge line remain unobtrusive over time

and settle naturally within the face.

Lastly, aftercare is also important.

For the first month after surgery,

you should avoid pressure or rubbing against the nose,

and

up to 3 months,

the internal structure is still in the stabilization period as it settles into place.

If stress is applied during this period,

the carefully established symmetry on both sides may shift slightly.

You need to get through this period well

so that the designed structure settles fully

and remains stable over time.

Today, we looked at why the nostril shape can appear different left and right after nose surgery,

the 기준 for a nose that suits your face,

and why Jaryeon Nose maintains its result over time.

The goal of nose surgery

is not to create a pretty nose,

but one that harmonizes with your face and

remains the same even after 1 year or 5 years.

Dr. Jang Uk of Objet Plastic Surgery primarily uses autologous tissue such as ear cartilage or dermis when shaping the nasal tip,

and adds autologous cartilage to the columella to reinforce the structure so that the left-right symmetry of the nostrils does not become distorted over time.

The starting point and height of the bridge are also determined within the overall facial proportions,

so the result is a natural fit within the face not only immediately after surgery but also

even after 1 year or 5 years.

If you are worried about uneven nostrils after nose surgery

and want a natural-looking nose that lasts,

we recommend starting with a consultation that looks at the proportions of your face,

the condition of your skin, and the state of your cartilage together.
