Hello. I am Kim Hyung-taek, CEO and chief surgeon of Co-One Plastic Surgery, dedicated to finding a new harmony that suits each individual.

Today, someone considering arrow nose surgery and alar reduction surgery asked whether it is possible to improve flared nostrils and nasolabial folds.

Q. If I get alar reduction surgery with arrow nose surgery, can it fix wide flared nostrils?

When I smile, my nasolabial folds are this deep, and the lines extend even farther down to my lower lip than in the photo.

So since puberty, I have honestly never once smiled in front of people wide enough to show my teeth.

And because the folds are so deeply etched, after I smile a lot, the aftereffects are intense and leave marks.

The nasolabial folds above my mouth are not a concern, but I would like to at least reduce the lines that go down below my lips.

Another problem is that my nose spreads out too much to both sides.

Everyone’s nostrils spread when they smile, but my nose shape changes, and it seems to spread much more than other people’s.

Also, when my upper lip lifts, the sides of my nose rise upward along with it.

Because of that, lifting my upper lip feels difficult, and my nose has a slight hump.

From what I saw in posts I found on Naver Knowledge iN, they said it is because the muscles that pull around the mouth are strong, something like a smiling tip. Is that also the case for me?

What kind of plastic surgery should I get?

When the nasal tip droops and the nostrils spread to both sides while smiling, it is due to the muscles around the mouth.

As you mentioned, when the nasal tip droops while smiling, it can be called a smiling tip.

With this kind of nose shape, arrow nose surgery can cut the muscle between the nose and the philtrum to reduce the nose drooping downward.

The nose spreading sideways can be reduced by performing alar reduction surgery or by lifting the nasal tip.

It would be best to receive a detailed consultation for arrow nose surgery regarding your current condition and how it changes when you smile.

I hope you get good results.

I hope this consultation answer was helpful.

Thank you.

This is a case of a low nose where the nasal tip has sagged downward, making it look like an arrow nose.

The nose feels very pressed down. By correcting the depressor muscle of the nasal tip, we improved the sagging of the nasal tip.

This is a case where the overall face is low and flat.

Through osteotomy, we improved the wide nose, and by using the septal cartilage as an implant, we raised the nasal tip to add dimension.

This person visited because they wanted to change a blunt bulbous nose into a more feminine look.

We performed wide-nose surgery, which changed the dull impression, and you can see that it was transformed into a straight, refined nose.
