Creating Facial Harmony Through Nostril Reduction at Yongsan Plastic Surgery

Hello.

This is Mutoel Plastic Surgery.

What do you consider the most important factor when judging the aesthetics of appearance?

In particular, the nose, which sits at the center of the eyes, nose, and mouth, is a feature that can greatly change the impression.

Because it is located at the center of the face, it is not simply a matter of height or lowness.

Even if the bridge is very well-defined, if the nostrils spread widely, the overall look can seem dull and it is difficult to create a refined impression.

On the other hand, if it is reduced too much, it can start to look artificial, and the naturalness of the appearance is lost.

For these reasons, many people consider nostril reduction surgery at Yongsan Plastic Surgery.

Today, we will talk about how this surgery is performed and the advantages of combining it with other procedures.

How is it performed?

First, depending on the incision location and method, it can be divided into external alar incision and internal alar incision.

An external alar incision is made along the outer skin of the nostril, while an internal alar incision is made inside the nostril to minimize scarring.

The incision location varies depending on skin thickness, nostril width, and nostril shape, and in some cases, both methods may be used together.

For example, if there is not much tissue on the nostrils but the nostrils themselves are large and make the nose look wide, the skin and tissue of the nostrils are partially removed, then repositioned and sutured.

Because the suture line is located near the groove below the alar rim, it can reduce the burden of scarring and create a natural shape.

Also, even in the same situation, if the base of the nostrils is wide, a thick thread may be used to pull both alar rims inward toward the center.

As you can see, the procedure method can vary greatly even with small differences, so it is most important to undergo the procedure with a skilled specialist at Yongsan Plastic Surgery who has experience with a wide range of cases from the design stage.

In what cases is it recommended?

The most typical case we often mention at Yongsan Plastic Surgery is when the tip of the nose looks fine, but the sides appear wide.

This includes cases where the nostrils spread especially when smiling, making the face look larger, or where the bridge itself is slender but the overall balance still feels off.

In particular, Korean and other Asian noses often have a relatively low bridge and more developed nostrils, so simple rhinoplasty alone may make it difficult to achieve the refined image you want.

Also, when the septal cartilage or the structure of the nasal tip cartilage is underdeveloped and the nose looks blunt, reducing the nostrils can make it appear sharper and more three-dimensional.

What are the benefits of combining it with nose lifting/filler?

Filler is excellent for reinforcing the bridge of the nose and the glabella.

If surgery has organized the volume in the lower area, adding filler to reinforce the upper bridge creates a much more refined overall line.

The important thing here is not to overdo it, but to adjust it naturally to match the facial proportions.

Also, when the lower part of the nose is refined, the bridge may appear relatively lower. If balance is adjusted with filler, the result can be made much more naturally complete than when each procedure is done separately.

In addition, if nose lifting is performed together, dissolvable threads are used at the tip of the nose to bring it together and support it, allowing the tip to sit more sharply and stably.

Rather than simply narrowing it from the sides, this helps bring out three-dimensionality along the vertical axis, making it possible to improve the balance of the entire face more effectively.

In particular, for people whose nasal tip spreads due to weak cartilage, combining it with nose lifting is a good option.

Is there a recovery process and any precautions?

Although it is a relatively simple surgery, recovery and aftercare are important.

Bruising and swelling vary from person to person, but they generally subside within about a week, and suture removal is usually performed between 7 and 9 days after the procedure.

In the early stage, you may feel a pulling sensation around the area, but this becomes more natural over time, and the scar gradually fades over several months.

The important thing is to avoid excessive movement of the surgical area in the early stage and allow time for stable recovery.

Also, smoking and drinking delay recovery and are not good for scar healing, so it is recommended to avoid them for at least two weeks.

The most important thing is

Before nose surgery, many people worry, "What if it looks obvious?" "What if it becomes too small and looks awkward?"

These days, rather than reducing it too much, the focus is on creating a natural proportion that harmonizes with the face, so the artificial results seen in the past are no longer common.

Rather, if it is corrected appropriately, the overall facial impression can become much cleaner and more refined.

The important thing is to proceed with a specialist at Yongsan Plastic Surgery who understands your facial proportions, skin, and cartilage structure well and approaches the procedure in a more detailed way.

In closing...

I think of this not simply as a surgery to make the nose smaller, but as a process of restoring harmony to the entire face.

In particular, if it is combined with nose lifting and filler to enhance the line of the bridge and tip, you can achieve a much more complete result.

It may feel like a small change, but once the balance of the center of the face changes, the overall impression changes greatly.

If you want a refined image without overdoing it, I believe this can definitely be a good choice.

The key point is to proceed safely through customized design at Yongsan Plastic Surgery and sufficient consultation. Please remember that.

That is all for today, and we will come back next time with even better information.
