The nose, located in the center of the face, is an important part of a beautiful appearance. The sense of three-dimensionality and balance can vary depending on the height and shape, and subtle differences can bring about a change in impression.Therefore, regardless of age or gender, nose surgery is one of the most popular surgeries. If you do not like the height of your nose or if the shape is distorted and causes appearance-related insecurities, you can consider rhinoplasty. Through rhinoplasty, you can adjust the shape or angle of the tip of your nose and raise the bridge of your nose to achieve the desired nose shape.
If you are planning to have rhinoplasty, the first thing to consider is the shape of your nose. Since each person has a different nose shape, starting from a low nose, upturned nose, long nose, hooked nose, bulbous nose, curved nose, etc., it is most important to comprehensively consider the current condition, size, and shape of the individual's nose and perform rhinoplasty using appropriate materials.
The materials commonly used in rhinoplasty include synthetic implants and autologous tissues. Synthetic implants include silicone, Gore-Tex, and Silitex, while autologous tissues include ear cartilage, septal cartilage, autologous dermis, and rib cartilage. Each material has different characteristics, so it is necessary to choose the material suitable for one's current situation through consultation with the medical professional.
When undergoing rhinoplasty, it is naturally important to choose a material that allows closer achievement of the desired nose shape. However, it is necessary to consider both functional and aesthetic aspects.
In particular, rhinoplasty may succeed in one attempt, of course, but there are many cases where people are not satisfied with one time and undergo multiple procedures. For that reason, it requires more caution than other surgeries. Trying to make one's nose look exactly like a famous celebrity's or arbitrarily increasing the bridge height can actually create an awkward shape, which may lead to a quick path to revision surgery.
Therefore, it is important to establish a detailed plan that suits you by comprehensively considering not only the height, shape, and length of the nose, but also the size of the nostrils and harmony with the face.
To achieve this, receiving the help of 3D-CT during nose surgery may be a desirable option. 3D-CT not only considers the external appearance of the nose, but also allows for a more detailed understanding of the internal nasal bone, crooked nose, and nasal septum cartilage. In addition, it can be helpful in many ways because it not only checks the aesthetic aspect, but also improves the functional aspect.
For more stable rhinoplasty, it is necessary to carefully check whether a safety system is in place and whether anesthesiology and pain medicine staff are resident at the clinic.
JAYJUN Plastic Surgery Director Kang Hyungjoo said, “When performing rhinoplasty, rather than simply focusing on raising the bridge of the nose, you can increase satisfaction by considering various factors such as the nasolabial angle, the height between the eyebrows, and the angle of the tip of the nose. To do so, it is important to properly establish appropriate materials and a personalized plan.”
