Hello,

this is VN Plastic Surgery.

The nose, located at the center of the face,

has a major impact because its appearance can change depending on various factors such as

crookedness, tip length, shape, and angle,

and depending on the length of the nose,

the entire face can look

shorter or longer.

Because of the length of the nose,

some people feel that the proportions made up of the forehead, philtrum, and chin

are not balanced,

and consider ways to compensate

with makeup.

Today,

we will explain the ideal facial golden ratio

and nose surgery that can make the midface look shorter

even without makeup.

Why does the midface

look longer?

The midface proportion

may not actually be long,

but it can still look long, or

the midface length may actually

be relatively long,

but it may not look long.

This is related to the length and shape of the nose.

That is because the nose

has a great effect

on the proportion of the midface.

Even if the midface is short,

if there is a hump on the nose

or if the nose droops downward,

the midface can appear longer.

As the nose, located at the center of the face,

plays an important role in

facial balance,

if the nose becomes longer,

it moves away from the golden ratio of the face.

If it droops downward,

the midface can look longer,

which may create a strong

and older-looking impression.

If the midface is long,

it can create a mature and sophisticated feel,

but for those who want a cute, youthful appearance,

it may feel unsuitable.

Ideally,

compared with the length of the face,

the forehead, nose, and chin tip

in a ratio of

1: 1: 0.8

is said to be the most perfect proportion.

When the midface proportion

becomes larger than this,

the face as a whole appears longer.

In the case of a long nose with a drooping tip,

​the proportions

can become even longer,

which may disrupt facial balance.

Through long nose surgery,

the drooped nasal tip can be lifted,

improving the nose to an appropriate length ratio.

Which people

are suitable candidates for

long nose surgery?

When the nose length is longer than one-third of the entire face

When the nasal tip droops and the nostrils are not visible

When the nasal tip drops significantly downward while smiling

Long nose surgery is recommended.

It is not simply a matter of

raising the bridge of the nose.

Because surgery must be performed with a delicate design that considers

the shape, length, and height of the nasal tip,

different for each person,

it is recommended that you carefully research and choose a clinic

that sufficiently considers your individual facial type

when performing the procedure.

How is a long nose

that makes the midface look longer

surgically treated?

First,

after removing the nasal tip cartilage,

it is lifted upward and sutured,

then a columella support is created using autologous cartilage,

and the nasal cartilage is moved upward and fixed in place.

To prevent recurrence,

the depressor septi nasi muscle is removed,

and depending on the case,

silicone is inserted into the bridge of the nose

or autologous tissue is inserted into the nasal tip.

VN Plastic Surgery

improves the length of the nose to an appropriate ratio

by lifting the drooped nasal tip through these surgical steps.
