Before and after: What Nose Tip Surgery + "Cat Surgery" (Nasolabial Angle Surgery) Is

Many people think Lari Plastic Surgery only does eye surgery, so to welcome the New Year in 2020,

I’m posting a second consecutive nose surgery post!

#Nose tip surgery + #Cat surgery ......

I understand nose tip surgery, but what is cat surgery?

If it’s surgery for cats, shouldn’t you go to an animal hospital?? ㅠㅜ

Yes.. no.

If you look at cats, the angle between the nostrils and the upper lip is almost nonexistent, that is, it’s nearly 180 degrees and flat.

So I think it’s called cat surgery because it widens the narrow nasolabial angle.

Cat surgery = nasolabial angle surgery

Widen the nasolabial angle!

Then why on earth is this cat-or-dog surgery done?

1. In plastic surgery textbooks, the ideal nasolabial angle (the angle formed by the upper lip and the columella under the nose in side view) is about 105 degrees.

2. Widening the nasolabial angle makes the area around the mouth look less prominent and gives a more youthful appearance.

3. The nose looks more raised and defined.

In short, it’s a surgery done to become as cute as a cat. Heh

Relationship between the maxilla and the nasolabial angle area, and the overall face

Even this simple schematic makes it easy to see at a glance how much more positive a face looks when the nasolabial angle area is fuller and raised, compared to a face where that area is sunken. I found this very important illustration in a plastic surgery textbook by a specialist named McCarthy!

I’m a doctor who reads and studies books like this, hehe

Usually, #nasolabialanglesurgery is often done together with nose tip surgery.

When the nasolabial angle is widened, the base of the nose tip becomes broader and the tip appears lifted, so it pairs well with #nosetipsurgery, which creates a pointed, elevated nose tip.

What you should pay attention to in the front-view photos is the swelling after nose tip surgery and cat surgery.

Because only autologous tissue or rib cartilage is used, without silicone implants, the swelling is not severe.

Compared to before surgery, the nose tip becomes higher, and the nostrils look longer, like those of Westerners.

The scar from the incision under the nose is about this much, and it will fade over time.

The nose tip definitely looks lifted.

Then some people will surely say this.

"The nose tip is too lifted!"

Yes, that’s right. The nose tip is indeed very lifted.

Now... the purpose of this surgery is to make the nose tip look lifted.

That way, the mouth area looks less prominent, the nose tip becomes more defined, and the overall face appears younger.

In side view, the nasolabial angle was an acute angle under 90 degrees, but after surgery it changed into an obtuse angle close to 105 degrees!

The side profile looks more refined, doesn’t it?

Seen from other angles as well, the overall face becomes more three-dimensional and looks much younger.

It’s a pity I can’t show the whole face. ㅠㅜ

When you see the full face, the nose looks even prettier...

Looking only at the side view, the nose tip looks lifted,

but in the overall face, the nose tip is expressed as more defined, making the entire face look more refined.

Don’t forget that!!
