Transforming Your Look to a More Youthful Appearance After Arrow Nose Surgery

Hello. We are OjiKO Plastic Surgery & Nplus, always thinking only about your beautiful and healthy nose.

This time, we have prepared information about arrow nose surgery.

These days, as the saying goes that appearance is also a qualification, many people are highly interested in taking care of their looks, and thorough self-management by improving areas they feel are lacking has become a trend. While things like dieting to lose weight or caring for the skin can be handled on your own, trying to change the face is difficult with makeup or photography techniques alone, so many people have become more interested in plastic surgery. Among facial features, the nose is located at the center of the face, so even a small change can have a big effect. Because an arrow nose can create an older-looking impression, people who are stressed by a prematurely aged appearance are looking for information about arrow nose surgery.

Among our facial features, the nose is located at the center of the face and is the most three-dimensional area, so if its balance is off, it draws the eye more than other areas. There are various reasons why people consider nose surgery, and among them, we would like to explain arrow nose surgery, which is performed when the nose makes a person look older.

What is arrow nose surgery? An arrow nose makes the overall impression appear stronger and older. It refers to a nose that is long overall, or a nose tip that droops downward into an arrow-like shape. In many cases, the septal cartilage has developed beyond the average, making the nose longer overall, or the shape may result from the development of the alar cartilage at the tip of the nose. The surgery that corrects this is called arrow nose surgery.

When performing arrow nose surgery, because each person's nose differs slightly in structure, a thorough examination and analysis of the cause of the arrow nose should be done through tests such as 3D-CT, and after accurately identifying the internal structure, including the development of the septal cartilage, surgery tailored to the individual should be performed.

At Nplus, we not only correct the length of the septal cartilage and the nose tip cartilage, but also the 'septal depressor muscle' that pulls the nose tip downward, so we perform nose tip correction that does not droop even when smiling.

In general arrow nose surgery, when the septal cartilage is overly developed in length, the surgery is performed by resecting part of the septal cartilage. When the length has increased due to the size of the alar cartilage at the tip of the nose, the surgery has been performed by trimming the nose tip cartilage to correct the size and repositioning the cartilage above the existing alar cartilage.

However, this has only a minimal corrective effect when smiling, so at Nplus we perform the above general arrow nose surgery methods along with additional correction of the septal depressor muscle.

For septal depressor muscle correction, some people experience a significant drooping of the nose tip when smiling. Therefore, by performing surgery to correct the length of the septal depressor muscle, we aim to prevent the nose tip from drooping even when smiling.

In addition, when undergoing arrow nose surgery, you should also look into functional aspects. If you look at reviews of arrow nose rhinoplasty, many people have difficulty breathing due to internal structural problems. In such cases, functional nose surgery to improve nasal congestion can be performed at the same time as the surgery. This is because if the surgery is performed with an aesthetic or cost-focused approach without considering functional aspects, nasal congestion may become more severe after surgery, leading to revision surgery.

Therefore, because arrow nose surgery involves two or more procedures being performed at the same time, we recommend having the surgery performed by medical staff with extensive anatomical knowledge of the nose and abundant medical experience. It is best to carefully check and proceed at a place where consultation, surgery, and aftercare are all handled thoroughly, and where both the arrow nose and the internal structure can be examined. At Nplus, when performing arrow nose surgery, we identify the exact cause and, to check the internal structure, we conduct analysis based on 3D-CT imaging and internal endoscopy, then perform surgery tailored to each individual.

That concludes our summary of Nplus arrow nose surgery. We hope this article was very helpful for those who are considering plastic surgery because they look older than their age, or who are feeling stressed about it. Thank you ^^
