Drooping arrow nose correction: checking whether there are any cartilage abnormalities Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery
Hello, this is Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery. Rhinoplasty can be considered a cosmetic surgery that helps improve existing nasal flaws or complexes and restore confidence. In particular, many people seem to look for information about their first nose surgery because they are unhappy with the nose shape they were born with. Among congenital nose shapes, the stress caused by a hump nose, an arrow-shaped nose, or a deviated nose can be quite significant. Today, we will look at drooping arrow nose correction, a topic we have covered the least so far.
Drooping arrow nose correction refers to rhinoplasty that lifts the nasal tip to improve a nose shape that congenitally droops severely downward, often described as an arrow-shaped nose. If you look at this before-and-after case of drooping arrow nose correction, you can see that the direction of the nasal tip was pointing downward. Looking at the preoperative nose, a slight hump and arrow-shaped nose were improved through drooping arrow nose correction. As in this case, when there is a slight hump, an implant can be placed along the nasal bridge to help complement it.
Although people with an arrow-shaped nose may feel stressed about it, an arrow-shaped nose is not necessarily an unattractive shape. Even among active celebrities, some have facial and nasal harmony that makes an arrow-shaped nose look balanced and attractive. However, when the degree of nasal drooping is severe, the harmony between the face and nose may be disrupted, the face may look older, or the smile may become a concern. In such cases, improving the angle of the nasal tip through drooping arrow nose correction may be helpful.
For a nose that droops downward, the nose may appear long and the midface may look elongated, so many people considering drooping arrow nose correction inquire about this concern. In drooping arrow nose correction, surgery is performed by designing a nasolabial angle that can look beautiful for each individual and improving the drooping of the nasal tip cartilage. In particular, when the nasal tip looks more drooped or longer when smiling, this is considered to be related to developed muscles around the nose, and improvement may also be made by partially resecting the muscles that cause the nasal tip to appear drooped.
As such, it is normal to correct an arrow-shaped nose using an appropriate method for each type. In this case, it is also a good idea to identify the exact cause through 3D-CT imaging during a consultation for drooping arrow nose correction. It is advisable to establish a surgical plan for drooping arrow nose correction by carefully assessing the length of the septal cartilage and the alar cartilage, and checking whether the alar cartilage is drooping and making the nose look arrow-shaped, or whether the septal cartilage is abnormally long.
For drooping arrow nose correction, it is important to choose medical staff dedicated to rhinoplasty who have a wide range of cases and extensive experience in nose surgery. In the case of an arrow-shaped nose, the nasal tip droops downward, making the nose look long and the midface appear elongated, so the medical team must be able to understand and manage facial harmony well. If the nose looks even longer after rhinoplasty or does not improve, revision surgery may be needed, so it is advisable to be careful when choosing a clinic from the beginning. Thank you.
