Adjusting the Approach According to the Type of Nostril-Lowering Procedure

Adjusting the approach according to the type of nostril-lowering procedure

Everyone has slightly different features and

an overall different atmosphere, and their goals

also vary. As a result, the standards each person

considers important among their external features

will inevitably be different.

The face appears as a unique image created by

the combination of detailed elements, such as

the overall lines and the position and shape of

the facial features. When the shape of the nose,

which is located in the center of the face, is not

well balanced, a person may feel that improvement

is needed aesthetically.

Because the nose is essential for breathing,

it should not be treated as merely an aesthetic

concern. Its functional aspects must also be

considered, and the procedure should be approached

with care to prevent problems. When the nasal tip

is short and the nostrils are exposed,

the nose should be corrected according to its type

through a nostril-lowering procedure.

Since the problematic area and its shape

may differ slightly from person to person,

the first step is to determine what type

the individual currently has.

If the nasal bridge has descended appropriately

with a suitable line and height, but the alae

appear blunt and the nasal tip looks as though

it is turned upward, a nostril-lowering procedure

can be applied to create a more harmonious

external shape of the nose.

Although an upturned nose and a “dragon nose,”

which can look similar because the nasal tip

appears elevated, have different structural causes,

the methods used for them are not the same.

Therefore, even when they look similar, it is

especially important to identify the cause

thoroughly and proceed with an appropriate plan.

An upturned nose with significant exposure of

the nasal cavity refers to a condition in which

the nose is short, causing the nasal tip to rise.

The end of the nose is pulled upward as if

it were being lifted, resulting in exposure

of even the nasal cavity.

In this case, rather than a nostril-lowering

procedure, the nose must be lengthened

to achieve the proper result.

Autologous tissue, such as rib cartilage or

septal cartilage, is mainly used. Since the issue

is caused by the nose being too short, lengthening

the nasal tip and lowering it allows the nostrils

to be exposed naturally and corrects the

upturned nose.

A “dragon nose” refers to a condition in which

the nostrils appear severely exposed from both

the front and the side. The issue concerns the

shape of the nasal alae themselves, rather than

the length of the nose.

In this case, cartilage is inserted to lower

the nostrils and compensate for a shape that

was somewhat incomplete.

As the causes and the methods that can help

are different, even if the appearance of a short

nose seems similar, it is necessary to examine

the details carefully and find a plan and design

suited to the individual.

To adjust and correct the nose according to

the type through a nostril-lowering procedure,

the first step is to determine whether the nose

falls within the relevant range of concerns.

If the nose is shorter than the normal nasal

length, making even the face appear flatter,

or if the point where the nose begins is located

lower than usual, it is considered a short nose.

In that case, correction suited to the symptoms

is needed to reduce nostril exposure, improve

the length, and restore harmony within the face.

If the nose is only slightly short, the nasal tip

can be lowered naturally by finely adding and

grafting the necessary amount of autologous

cartilage between the alar cartilage and the

septal cartilage.

At the same time, the shape of asymmetrical

nostrils can also be corrected along with

the shape of the nose. Although function is

of primary importance in this area, external

factors also have a significant effect, so they

must be considered from multiple perspectives

to ensure that aesthetic improvements are

made as well.

If the alae are raised, causing the nasal tip

to rise and making the entire nose appear

shorter, a nostril-lowering procedure that

reshapes the problematic cartilage is appropriate.

After cutting the upper portion of the alar

cartilage, lowering it, and securing it in place,

the nasal tip is lowered as well. This makes

the nose appear longer and allows the previously

exposed nostrils to show only to a natural extent.

If the height still seems somewhat insufficient

even after both methods have been performed,

cartilage grafting can be combined with nasal

augmentation, placing an implant on the bridge

of the nose as well.

To determine the appropriate nasal length

and height, the overall nasal line must be

considered in relation to the person’s natural

face shape, cheekbone volume, and harmony

with the other facial features.

The goal is not simply to make a shortened

nose slightly longer, but to improve and correct

it naturally. Therefore, care must be taken based

on each person’s natural beauty, individuality,

and image so that functional damage or

inflammation does not occur.

The reason autologous tissue is grafted instead

of using artificial implants is that it can improve

the rate of integration and help reduce potential

future problems.

Although this is an area where aesthetic features

stand out, the nose is above all an important

organ responsible for breathing. It must therefore

be approached with particular care to prevent

symptoms such as damage to the internal tissue

or inflammation.

For this reason, it is important to carefully

examine the cause, shape, and internal structure,

and to consider the procedure cautiously at a

facility where you can consult directly with

the operating surgeon.

Everyone lives with some degree of concern

about the appearance they were born with.

In some cases, a person may overcome these

concerns to some extent through their own efforts,

but more often, this is not possible.

Cultivating inner beauty should come first,

but for those who frequently meet with many

people, appearance can become one of the major

factors influencing self-esteem.

When the appearance is improved in a positive

direction, it can help restore confidence and

contribute positively to a more active life.

Therefore, consider correcting the features

that have been a source of insecurity through

a nostril-lowering procedure and refining them

into the image you desire.
