Long Nose and Downturned Nose Surgery: A Shorter Midface Is the Trend!

<Actual DM Plastic Surgery rhinoplasty patient>

The nose is located at the center of the face and is an area that affects the three-dimensional appearance of the face.

Because the impression of the face can vary depending on the shape and height of the nose, thorough correction through sufficient consultation with an experienced specialist is important for achieving a satisfactory result.

These days, when you look at makeup videos, most of them focus on youthful makeup techniques that make the midface appear shorter, such as tips for reducing the appearance of the midface.

As a result, a short midface has become a new aesthetic standard.

When the distance from the eyebrows to the tip of the nose exceeds one-third of the total face length, it is considered a long nose. A nose with a drooping tip is called a downturned nose.

A downturned nose not only makes the face look longer, but can also cover the philtrum and make it appear shorter, creating an impression that looks older. When smiling, the downturned tip may become even more prominent and create an unnatural appearance.

This type of nose tends to make the face look older, dull, or droopy because it lacks three-dimensional definition. It can also reduce the overall three-dimensional appearance of the face. Improving a long, drooping nasal tip can help create a more refined, youthful appearance, which is why many people visit us with an interest in long-nose and downturned-nose surgery.

Today, we will discuss how these types of noses can be improved, including their causes, surgical methods, and recommended candidates :D

DM Plastic Surgery Long-Nose & Downturned-Nose Surgical Method

Although the specific cases may differ, long-nose and downturned-nose surgery share the goal of lifting and raising the drooping nasal tip while reducing the length of the nose.

To improve the drooping nasal tip while creating nasal proportions suited to each individual’s face, it is advisable to visit a specialist with extensive clinical experience.

At DM Plastic Surgery, an experienced plastic surgeon establishes a personalized plan after thorough consultation and personally performs the surgery.

When the septal cartilage has grown downward and become elongated, the lower lateral cartilages may also droop. In such cases, part of the septal cartilage is removed, and the lower lateral cartilages are rotated upward and fixed in place.

When the lower lateral cartilages supporting the nasal tip droop downward, causing the tip to appear lowered, the cartilages can be trimmed and fixed to the septal cartilage to raise the nasal tip and create a more aesthetically pleasing nose.
