The nose, located in the center of the face, influences the impression depending on its angle and height. In addition, because it is the most three-dimensionally prominent part of the face, even subtle changes can cause the image to look significantly different.Because the nose has such a large impact on the overall impression, the demand for rhinoplasty is increasing day by day. Recently, not only women but also men are considering rhinoplasty to create a clearer image and sophisticated impression. However, it is important to note that this is an area where even small changes can make a big difference, so more care must be taken.
Since the internal structure and tissue condition of the nose are different for each individual, sufficient consultation and a thorough pre-operative examination using equipment such as 3D-CT must be conducted first. If nose surgery is performed without carefully examining the condition of the nose, side effects may occur or the appearance may be unsatisfactory. Therefore, after careful consultation and diagnosis, it is necessary to find the appropriate material and surgical method, taking into account the angle and line that suits the individual.
Particularly recently, it is not just about raising the bridge of the nose or creating a pretty line; making a balanced nose from any angle has become an important factor. Instead of blindly copying someone else’s nose or having a nose that is only high, a harmonious nose that matches the individual’s facial features has become a trend and also shows high satisfaction. For a harmonious design, it is important to design the line by finding the optimal proportions suited to oneself, from the glabella (starting point of the nose) to the nasal bridge, tip, nasolabial angle, and the columella line.
Park Kisoo, director of Gangnam JAYJUN Plastic Surgery Clinic, advised, "As there are various types of noses such as low nose, bulbous nose, hooked nose, and crooked nose, the surgical method must be different for each individual depending on the internal structure or function of the nose, and the appropriate surgical plan is also bound to vary. Therefore, finding a skilled medical staff with abundant experience and know-how in nose surgery and making a careful decision after sufficient consultation can produce satisfactory results."
