For Low-Nose Rhinoplasty, Focus on Balance Rather Than Simply Adding Height

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

The number of people interested in rhinoplasty is increasing!

Today, among the various types of noses—including aquiline, low, bulbous, long, and downward-pointing noses—we would like to discuss 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 look flat and the overall impression appear plain.

In such cases, rhinoplasty can create a more three-dimensional appearance. However, the procedure should be designed to suit each individual's facial balance in order to achieve a harmonious and satisfactory result.

The key consideration in low-nose rhinoplasty is that the nose should not simply be lengthened or raised as much as possible.

We understand the desire to create a more dramatic change when the existing nose is low, but a higher nose is not always a more beautiful nose. If the procedure is performed excessively with the sole aim of changing the shape of the nose, satisfaction may decrease, and the nose may become overly prominent, disrupting the balance of the entire face. Therefore, a customized procedure based on the overall facial proportions, along with thorough consultation with a plastic surgeon who has extensive clinical experience, is necessary.

We hope this information will be helpful to those considering rhinoplasty to improve a low nose. 💖

Natural Three-Dimensional Definition: DM Plastic Surgery Clinic's Low-Nose Rhinoplasty

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

Raising the bridge can draw attention toward the center of the face and may create the visual effect of making the face look 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 while considering the individual's facial proportions.

For a satisfactory result, the procedure should be performed after sufficient consultation with a medical team with extensive anatomical knowledge and surgical experience.

Recommended for those who:

• Feel that the space between their eyes appears wide because of a low nose

• Are concerned about a drooping and blunt-looking nose

• Are considering rhinoplasty because their nose is small and low

• Feel that their face lacks three-dimensional definition because of a low nasal bridge

• Have both a low nasal bridge and a low nasal tip

At DM Plastic Surgery Clinic, low-nose rhinoplasty is recommended for patients with these concerns.

An experienced specialist carefully analyzes the forehead, philtrum, and overall facial impression to determine the most beautiful angle between the nasal bridge and forehead, as well as the angle between the columella and philtrum. The procedure is then personally performed to create the most ideal harmony with the individual's face.

What are the features of low-nose rhinoplasty at DM Plastic Surgery Clinic?

The procedure prioritizes precision and safety through detailed analysis using 3D CT. A one-to-one customized rhinoplasty plan is established through consultation with an eye and nose plastic surgery specialist whose extensive clinical experience and expertise have been demonstrated across numerous cases, contributing to a high level of satisfaction.

How is the procedure performed?

Open and closed rhinoplasty each have different advantages and characteristics. 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 bridge and tip. The procedure is then completed by suturing the incision.

When inserting an implant into the nasal bridge, DM Plastic Surgery Clinic adjusts the implant height by comprehensively considering the skin thickness, width of the nasal bones, the distance between the eyes, facial proportions, and overall condition. To help prevent the skin over the nasal bridge from becoming thinner after rhinoplasty, the procedure may also include wrapping the bridge once more with fascia.
