The nose is located in the center of the face, so it creates a greatly different impression depending on its angle, height, shape, volume, and proportion. Even if the nose is slightly lower or higher, the first impression and personal image can drastically change, so those who aim for a favorable appearance may visit a plastic surgeon to try to improve the shape of the nose.Recently, as plastic surgery has become popular and demand has increased, people often come to consultations for rhinoplasty with photos of famous celebrities, influencers, or others whose noses they admire. However, this can be used to make it easier for patients to explain what they want and to help medical staff understand, but it is prohibited to hope that the height or shape of the nose can be accurately displayed on the patient's face.
Since the proportions and characteristics of the nose, harmony with the face, and scope of surgery are different for each individual, if you recklessly raise your nose or perform rhinoplasty to imitate the noses of others or celebrities, you may end up with unharmonious results, various side effects, or reoperations.
Additionally, gender-specific characteristics must be considered when performing rhinoplasty. Satisfactory rhinoplasty can only be achieved by recognizing the differences in nasal tissue and structure between men and women, setting the ratio that suits each person, and accurately identifying various problems such as crooked nose, bulbous nose, upturned nose, and low nose, and pursuing aesthetic improvement and functional comfort at the same time.
It is important to determine the ratio, height, size, and shape of the nose line that suits your face, but you should also consult thoroughly about what material to use during rhinoplasty surgery. Recently, the number of people who want non-implant rhinoplasty is increasing, but if the desired nose height is high or the existing skin itself is thick, applying silicone may be more helpful. If your skin is thin and sensitive, you should consider using autologous tissue, and in-depth consultation and diagnosis are essential for implants.
Kang Hyungjoo, director of Gangnam JAYJUN Plastic Surgery (plastic surgery specialist), said, "It is important to improve the nose to fit each person's personality and image rather than just having a sharp and high nose. If you follow trends and later find that you do not like it, or if you have a nose job that does not suit you from the beginning, you may need to undergo reoperation. Therefore, after sufficient consultation with an experienced medical staff, it is advisable to carefully decide on the nose shape that suits you, the surgical method needed to achieve it, and the type of implant," he advised.
