Arrowhead Nose SurgeryIdeal Proportions

Ideal nose proportion — diagram measuring horizontal and vertical facial proportions (1:1:0.8)

  • When the vertical facial ratio from the upper face to the lower face is1:1:0.8,

  • When the width of the nasal base and the distance between the eyes are the same and equal to 0.8 of the overall face

This is the most ideal proportion.

Arrowhead nose surgery is

a nasal line correction procedure suitable for those whose nasal tip droops below the alar rims from the bridge, creating an arrow-like appearance.

This generally occurs when the nasal tip cartilage is small or the columella (pillar) supporting the nasal tip is weak,

When you have an arrowhead nose, the elongated nasal length can make even the midface appear longer, which may make you look older.

At Hyundai Aesthetics, we assess the overall facial proportions to lift the drooping nasal tip and, when needed, perform surgical methods that reduce the nostril width and adjust the alar position,

providing not only correction of the nasal line but also a natural-looking effect that balances the overall vertical length of the face.

A confident nosefrom every angle!

  • Correction of a downward nasal line

  • A more dimensional impression

  • Personalized surgical plan

  • Effect of reducing the vertical facial length

※ After surgery and treatment, complications that may commonly occur depending on the individual, such as bleeding, infection, and inflammation, may occur, so caution is required.

Arrowhead Nose Surgery Surgical Method

TYPE 01

When the nasal bridge is low with a hump

TYPE 01 before procedure — diagram of a nose with a low bridge and humpTYPE 01 after procedure — diagram of a smoothly corrected nose

The protruding bone on the nasal bridge is removed to create a smooth contour, the length of the nasal tip cartilage is shortened, then lifted upward and fixed in place to correct the nasal tip. Depending on the case, the nasal bridge may be augmented with an implant, while the nasal tip may be treated using septal cartilage to raise the columella as part of the surgery.

TYPE 02

When the cartilage droops downward

By partially excising the nasal tip cartilage and firmly suturing it together, the cartilage is lifted upward and the nasal length is reduced to correct the arrowhead nose shape.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are treatment costs at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam communicated?

Treatment costs at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam vary depending on the area, extent, options, and anesthesia method. An accurate estimate is provided through a free one-on-one consultation. We prioritize a personalized quote tailored to each patient's diagnostic results, rather than comparison quotes or promotional prices.

How long does recovery take?

Generally, swelling and bruising subside within 1–2 weeks, and the natural final result settles in after 2–3 months. Non-incisional and minimal-incision methods have a shorter downtime, while incisional and revision surgery can take somewhat longer to recover. We provide the precise recovery schedule for each procedure during your consultation.

How can I get a consultation at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam?

You can visit our main clinic on Dosan-daero in Gangnam for an in-person consultation, or have a remote consultation by phone, KakaoTalk, or online form. Through a free one-on-one consultation, we provide comprehensive guidance covering diagnosis, treatment options, an estimate, and the expected recovery schedule. In accordance with Article 56 of Korea's Medical Service Act, reviews and before-and-after materials are provided only on the basis of prior consent.

Can I see before-and-after photos in advance?

In accordance with the advertising provisions of Article 56 of Korea's Medical Service Act, before-and-after cases may be viewed for medical purposes only by patients who have given prior consent and attended an in-person consultation. Publicly available materials are limited to de-identified cases for which consent has been completed. Detailed cases are explained directly by our medical staff during your consultation.

How are post-surgery side effects and aftercare handled?

Every surgery carries some possibility of side effects. Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam monitors recovery-phase symptoms such as swelling, bruising, tightness, and a foreign-body sensation through a post-surgery regular check-up and care system (the Mihak Care System). We operate a 24-hour emergency contact line and an aftercare program.

What is the difference between rhinoplasty with implants and no-prosthesis rhinoplasty?

Implant-based rhinoplasty reinforces the bridge and tip with silicone or Gore-Tex, while no-prosthesis rhinoplasty uses only your own cartilage and dermis. Our Gangnam no-prosthesis rhinoplasty is recommended for patients who want to avoid implant-related side effects such as a foreign-body sensation, contracture, or exposure. The choice depends on the length of the bridge and skin thickness.

Can a hump nose or deviated nose also be corrected?

Our Gangnam Hyundai Aesthetic hump-nose and deviated-nose correction repositions both the bone and cartilage structures together to improve the side profile and frontal symmetry at the same time. Many cases require correction at the bone-and-cartilage level rather than simply inserting an implant.

Is revision rhinoplasty also possible?

Contracture, deviation, exposure of a previous implant, or reduced function can be corrected with revision surgery. We prioritize removing the existing implant and reconstructing the nose primarily with your own tissue. At our Gangnam Hyundai Aesthetic clinic, we explain a case-by-case reconstruction plan during your consultation.
