To enhance the line with wide nose correction

Hello, this is Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery. A recent trend is that many celebrities have quickly risen to stardom with a youthful-looking image. As more people aspire to this youthful appearance, inquiries about plastic surgery have also been increasing. One common feature of this youthful look is a short midface. Accordingly, as more people prefer the appearance of a shorter midface, many patients visiting our clinic for wide nose correction recently have brought photos of celebrities with beautiful, moderately short noses, or have come in to improve their own long-looking noses.

For those who have a nose that appears long, the angle can be considered more important than the height when it comes to the shape of the nose. This is because even if the nose is high, if the nasolabial angle from the upper lip to the nasal tip becomes narrow, the overall facial proportions may be disrupted. The typical nasolabial angle is 90 to 110 degrees. If you have a relatively short nose, the nasolabial angle may be higher than this; if you have a long nose, it may be narrower than the standard angle. In such cases, wide nose correction may be considered.

Just as there is an ideal nasolabial angle, if it is too high or too low, the facial proportions can be thrown off, making it difficult to achieve a harmonious appearance. If the nasal tip is drooping without meeting the ideal standard, wide nose correction may be needed to lift the nasal tip and improve the overall length of the nose. A hooked or arrow-shaped nose refers to a nose shape in which the nasal tip droops downward, resembling an arrow.

There are quite a few celebrities who have an arrow-shaped nose, and when it harmonizes with their facial features, especially in male celebrities, it can create an attractive impression. However, in women, this nose shape can make the nose look longer and the midface appear elongated, which may become a source of stress.

There are several reasons why the nose may appear long. There is a high possibility that the alar cartilage at the nasal tip is large or that the septal cartilage is drooping, and in some cases the nasal tip cartilage and lateral nasal cartilage gradually spread apart. Therefore, when performing surgery for an arrow-shaped nose or a long nose, it is important to identify which case applies. In addition, wide nose correction or surgery to make the nose appear shorter is among the more demanding cartilage correction procedures. Since the overall harmony must be carefully designed according to each person’s facial features, it is advisable to entrust the procedure to an experienced specialist.

In such cases, by lifting the drooping nasal tip forward and upward, it is possible to improve a low nose while also correcting the impression of a long-looking nose. This was a case that clearly showed how much the length of the nose affects midface proportions. With proper improvement of wide nose correction and the nasolabial angle alone, the face can appear more three-dimensional and more youthful. Thank you.
