Correcting a Nose That Looked Older: Long Nose and Hooked Nose Surgery

<Actual nose surgery case at DM Plastic Surgery>

The nose is located at the center of the face and is the area that determines facial dimensionality. Since the image of the face can change depending on the shape and height of the nose, careful correction through thorough consultation with an experienced specialist is important for a high level of satisfaction.

These days, when you look at makeup videos, most of them focus on tips for making the middle third of the face look shorter, and makeup videos that make the middle third of the face appear shorter and more youthful have become a new beauty standard.

When the length from the eyebrows to the tip of the nose exceeds one-third of the entire face, it is called a long nose. A nose with a drooping tip is called a hooked nose. A hooked nose not only makes the face look longer, but also covers the philtrum, making it look shorter and giving an older impression. When smiling, the hooked nose may stand out even more, creating an unnatural impression. Such a nose tends to reduce facial dimensionality and can easily look aged, blunt, or drooping. In addition, it tends to reduce the overall three-dimensional balance of the face, so improving a long and drooping nasal tip can help create a more refined, youthful-looking face. That is why many people visit the clinic with interest in long nose and hooked nose surgery.

Today, we will look at how these nose types can be improved, including the causes, surgical methods, and who is recommended for the procedure :D

The Features of DM Plastic Surgery’s Long Nose & Hooked Nose Surgery

The main causes of long nose and hooked nose include an overdeveloped septal cartilage, drooping nasal tip cartilage, and developed nasal tip muscles. Through thorough consultation with a plastic surgery specialist who has extensive clinical experience, a personalized 1:1 plan is established before surgery, which is why patients who have actually undergone the procedure report high satisfaction.

In cases where the septal cartilage is excessively developed, it can be corrected by properly resecting and adjusting the septal cartilage, allowing for a much younger and brighter impression.

If you are considering hooked nose surgery, because it is a procedure that corrects the center of the face, it is especially important to find a plastic surgery specialist with both sufficient experience and surgical skill. At DM Plastic Surgery, we establish a personalized 1:1 plan through thorough consultation with a plastic surgery specialist, and we help improve the nose into the most ideal golden ratio while considering each person’s proportions and preferences.

Thanks to the expertise of the medical team, the recovery period can be kept short and return to daily life can be faster, which is why satisfaction is high and many people visit us!

DM Plastic Surgery Long Nose & Hooked Nose Surgery Method

Although long nose and hooked nose surgeries differ by case, they share the same purpose: lifting and raising the drooping nasal tip while shortening the length of the nose. Therefore, to improve the nose to a proportion that suits each individual’s face while also correcting a drooping nasal tip, it is best to visit a specialist with extensive clinical experience.

At DM Plastic Surgery, our plastic surgery specialists, full of expertise, establish a customized plan after thorough consultation and perform the surgery themselves.

If the septal cartilage has grown long downward, the alar cartilage also tends to sag. In that case, part of the end of the septal cartilage is removed, and the position of the alar cartilage is rotated upward and fixed. If the alar cartilage supporting the nasal tip sags downward and makes the tip look dropped, the alar cartilage is resected and fixed to the septal cartilage to raise the nasal tip, which can create a more attractive nose.
