Low Nose Surgery: Never Forcefully Raise the Nose!

<Actual DM Plastic Surgery rhinoplasty case>

Because the nose is located at the center of the face, even subtle changes in height can create a significant improvement.

More people are becoming interested in rhinoplasty!

Today, among the various types of noses—including aquiline, low, bulbous, long, and downturned noses—I would like to talk about the low nose, which is most common among East Asians.

Since the nose is at the center of the face, a low nose can make the face appear flat and the overall impression look plain.

In such cases, rhinoplasty can improve the three-dimensional appearance of the face. To achieve a harmonious and satisfying result, low nose surgery should be performed while balancing the individual’s facial proportions.

The key point to remember with low nose surgery is that the nose should never be lengthened or raised excessively.

Although it is understandable to want a more dramatic change because the existing nose is low, a higher nose is not always a more beautiful nose. If surgery is performed excessively with the sole aim of changing the shape of the nose, satisfaction may decrease, and the nose may stand out too much, disrupting the balance of the entire face.

Therefore, sufficient consultation with a plastic surgeon who has extensive clinical experience, along with individualized surgery and a design that considers overall proportions, is necessary.

I hope this will be helpful to those considering rhinoplasty to improve a low nose.

Natural three-dimensional definition: Low nose surgery at DM Plastic Surgery

A low nose has a low nasal bridge and therefore lacks three-dimensional definition.

By raising it to create a more defined shape, the gaze is drawn toward the center, which may create the visual effect of making the face appear smaller and more three-dimensional overall.

Even if the nasal bridge is currently low, it is important not to automatically aim for a high bridge. Instead, the most suitable nasal line and angle should be selected by considering the individual’s facial proportions.

For a satisfying result, surgery should be performed after sufficient consultation with an experienced medical team with extensive anatomical knowledge and surgical experience.

Recommended for those who:

• Have a wide-looking area between the eyes because of a low nose

• Are concerned about a drooping and blunt-looking nose

• Are considering surgery because their nose is small and low

• Have a low nasal bridge and lack three-dimensional definition

• Have a low nasal bridge and nasal tip

DM Plastic Surgery recommends low nose surgery to patients with these concerns.

An experienced specialist precisely analyzes the forehead, philtrum, and overall facial impression, identifies the most aesthetically suitable angle between the nasal bridge and forehead and the angle between the columella and philtrum, and performs the surgery to create the most ideal harmony with the patient’s face.

What are the features of low nose surgery at DM Plastic Surgery?

The procedure prioritizes accuracy and safety through precise 3D CT analysis.

A one-on-one customized rhinoplasty plan is established through consultation with a specialist in eye and nose surgery whose expertise has been demonstrated through extensive clinical experience and know-how, contributing to a high level of satisfaction.

How is the surgery performed?

Open and closed rhinoplasty each have different advantages, so it is important to discuss the options thoroughly with a plastic surgeon and choose the surgical method according to individual preferences.

After an incision is made to create space for the implant, an implant with a thickness and shape suitable for the individual is inserted.

Autologous cartilage is inserted into the nasal tip to balance the nasal bridge and tip. The procedure is then completed by suturing the incision.

When inserting an implant into the nasal bridge, DM Plastic Surgery adjusts the implant height by comprehensively considering the skin thickness, width of the nasal bones, the distance between the eyes, overall proportions, and individual condition.

To prevent the skin over the nasal bridge from becoming thin after rhinoplasty, the procedure may include covering the bridge once more with fascia.
