Long Nose Rhinoplasty: Can Improvement Create a Younger-Looking Image?

<Actual DM Plastic Surgery rhinoplasty case>

The nose is located at the center of the face and is an area that influences the three-dimensional appearance of the face. Since the overall facial image can vary depending on its shape and height, satisfaction is higher when correction is carefully planned through a thorough consultation with an experienced specialist.

These days, when watching makeup videos, many of them focus on makeup techniques that make the midface appear shorter, such as tips for shortening the midface. 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 an arrow-shaped nose. An arrow-shaped nose can make the face look longer, and because it covers the philtrum and makes it appear shorter, it can create an older-looking impression.

It can also become more prominent when smiling, resulting in an unnatural appearance. This type of nose tends to look less three-dimensional, making the face appear older, dull, or droopy. It can also reduce the three-dimensional appearance of the entire face. By improving a long, drooping nasal tip, it is possible to create a more refined, youthful-looking face, which is why many people visit us with an interest in long nose and arrow-shaped nose rhinoplasty.

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

DM Plastic Surgery’s Features of Long Nose & Arrow-Shaped Nose Rhinoplasty

Long noses and arrow-shaped noses are generally caused by an overdeveloped septal cartilage, drooping nasal tip cartilage, or developed nasal tip muscles. Through a thorough consultation with a plastic surgeon with extensive clinical experience, a one-on-one customized plan is established for each patient, and the surgery is performed accordingly. This has resulted in high satisfaction among actual patients.

When the septal cartilage is significantly developed, it can be appropriately removed and corrected to create a much younger and brighter impression.

If you are considering arrow-shaped nose rhinoplasty, it is especially important to find a plastic surgeon with sufficient experience and surgical skill, as this surgery corrects the center of the face. At DM Plastic Surgery, a one-on-one customized plan is established through a thorough consultation with a plastic surgeon. We help improve the nose to achieve the ideal golden ratio while taking each person’s facial proportions and preferences into consideration.

With the expertise of our medical team, you can experience a shorter recovery period and return to your daily life more quickly, leading to high satisfaction among many of our patients!

DM Plastic Surgery recommends this procedure for people with the following concerns!

-Those who are concerned that their nose is unusually long in proportion to their face

-Those whose long nasal tip creates a strong, older-looking impression

-Those who are concerned that their drooping nasal tip resembles an arrow-shaped nose

DM Plastic Surgery recommends long nose & arrow-shaped nose rhinoplasty for patients with these concerns.

DM Plastic Surgery’s Long Nose & Arrow-Shaped Nose Surgical Method

Although the specific cases of long nose and arrow-shaped nose surgery may differ, both procedures aim to shorten the nose while lifting and elevating the drooping nasal tip. Therefore, to improve the drooping tip while creating a nose with proportions suited to each person’s face, it is advisable to seek a specialist with extensive clinical experience.

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

When the septal cartilage has grown long in the downward direction, the alar cartilage may also droop. In such cases, part of the end of the septal cartilage is removed, and the alar cartilage is rotated upward and secured.

When the alar cartilage supporting the nasal tip has drooped downward, causing the tip to appear lowered, the alar cartilage may be trimmed and secured to the septal cartilage to elevate the nasal tip and create a more attractive nose.
