Custom Rhinoplasty
Not height, butRatio and angle makes a pretty nose The nose looks harmonious when its length is about one-fifth the length of the face, and its width is similar to the distance between the eyes. While the height of the bridge and the width of the nostrils are also important, what ultimately determines a natural-looking nose is its shape and angle.
The nasolabial angle formed between the nose and the lips is ideally considered to be around 95° to 105°. If it is narrower than 90°, the tip of the nose may look long or droopy, making one appear older, and if it is 110° or more, it can look like an upturned nose with exposed nostrils.
Diva Plastic Surgery designs the height, length, and angle of the nose together within the proportions of the entire face through photographic measurement and consultation.

Nose Types Which nose Worry Are you? Nose concerns do not arise from a single cause. We first accurately categorize the types and use different methods for each type.
Short nose · Upturned nose This is a nose where the nostril is visible from the front because the nose length is short. Depending on the cause, the length of the nose is extended with cartilage and the tip of the nose is lowered.
Deviated nose This is a nose where the bridge axis has become deviated after trauma or a fracture. We address not only the aesthetic aspects but also functional issues such as rhinitis and a deviated septum.
Wide nose · Aquiline nose (Hawk nose) This is a nose where the nasal bones are wide on both sides or the middle of the bridge has a bump-like protrusion. A smooth line is created through osteotomy and bridge contouring.
Short Nose When short nose rhinoplasty is needed Short nose rhinoplasty is quite demanding, so the surgical method varies depending on the cause to improve the nose so that the nostrils are not visible from the front.
01 Cases where the nose is small and short in length compared to the face 02 Cases where the nose length is normal, but the nose is upturned, showing a lot of the nostrils 03 Cases where contracture has occurred due to inflammation or other factors after past nose surgery 04 Cases where the bridge of the nose has become lower and the nasal tip has become upturned due to external trauma Method
Surgical method for short nose rhinoplasty 01 When the nostrils are exposed because the alar base is short After making an incision in the mucous membrane inside the nostril, the length of the alar is increased by grafting septal cartilage or ear cartilage beneath the alar cartilage. If the nose is low, it can be combined with surgery to raise the bridge of the nose.
02 Cases where the nose is short due to underdeveloped growth Septal cartilage is grafted onto the lower part of the nasal septum to extend the length of the nose, and the overlapping cartilages are released and moved downward to reconstruct them in proportion to the facial features. Depending on the condition of the cartilage, septal cartilage, ear cartilage, or donated rib cartilage may be used together.
03 In case capsular contracture occurs due to inflammation after surgery The skin and soft tissue covering the nose are widely dissected so that the skin can stretch sufficiently, and then various cartilage materials are used to secure the nasal tip to prevent it from shrinking back. Active post-operative care, including smoking cessation and massage, is required.
Deviated Nose Cases where deviated nose rhinoplasty is needed A crooked nose often occurs after a nasal fracture and may also be accompanied by functional problems such as nasal congestion, rhinitis, sinusitis, and a deviated septum.
01 When the nose is crooked and cosmetically unappealing 02 If you often have a stuffy nose or experience recurring nasal conditions 03 When the nostrils are crooked 04 When the inserted implant is bent Method Deviated nose surgery method If the axis is severely deviated, achieving complete symmetry may be difficult even with maximum correction. We will honestly discuss the achievable extent during the consultation.
01 If the deviation is mild A well-trimmed implant is inserted into the bridge of the nose to visually straighten and correct it.
02 If the deviation is severe By combining septoplasty with medial and lateral osteotomies to fracture and reposition the nasal bones, as well as the resection and repositioning of deviated lateral cartilages, a straight nose with a low rate of recurrence is created.
03 Lateral osteotomy By osteotomizing the area where the nasal bone and upper jawbone meet, the nasal bones are gathered toward the center to straighten them along the midline, and the width of the nasal bone is reduced to create a sleek contour.
Wide Nose Surgical process for a wide nose and bulbous nose tip A wide nose requires a comprehensive approach that considers the nasal tip, nostrils, and bridge together. If the nasal bone is wide, an osteotomy is performed to reduce its width.
STEP 01 Nose tip refinement and alar reduction Some of the fat at the tip of the nose, which causes it to look bulbous, is removed and the alar base is reduced.
STEP 02 Cartilage/autologous tissue insertion After making a closed or open incision, a custom-designed implant is placed accurately in position, and the tip of the nose is shaped using autologous tissue or cartilage.
STEP 03 Delicate suturing and line completion From the bridge to the tip of the nose, it is finished with a natural and three-dimensional line.
Hump Nose Hump nose surgery procedure A hawk nose, where the bridge of the nose is raised due to genetics or trauma during growth, can give a strong and fierce impression.
STEP 01 Diagnosis of a dorsal hump Check the degree of protrusion and the cause in the middle part of the nasal bridge, where the nasal bone, lateral cartilage, and septal cartilage meet.
STEP 02 Trimming protrusions The protruding nasal bone and cartilage are trimmed and removed, and if necessary, the bridge line is smoothly refined using cartilage or autologous tissue.
STEP 03 Side line completed Finish with a line where the forehead, bridge of the nose, and tip of the nose connect smoothly.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions Q When can I return to daily life after the surgery? Stitches are removed after 5 to 7 days, and major swelling subsides over 1 to 2 weeks. Returning to daily activities is usually possible around the time the stitches are removed, and the timing for strenuous exercise or wearing glasses should be adjusted according to the director's instructions.
Q Which is better, implants or autologous tissue? It depends on your skin thickness, nasal structure, and desired height. If you have thin skin or are concerned about a foreign body sensation or inflammation, autologous tissue is considered; if you want to raise the nasal bridge height stably, implants are considered, and a combination of both is also frequently used. We will honestly explain the pros and cons during your consultation.
Q Can a crooked nose be completely straightened? We align it with the midline as much as possible through osteotomy and septoplasty, but if the axis is severely deviated, achieving perfect symmetry can be difficult. If functional issues such as nasal congestion or rhinitis are present, they are also improved during the surgery.
Q When is revision surgery possible? Considering the time it takes for tissue to stabilize, it is usually reviewed 6 months after the first surgery. If there is inflammation, treating the inflammation comes first.

If you are looking into alar reduction in Gangnam, I recommend you read this article first. There are probably some people who are concerned that their nose looks particularly wide in photos, or that their nostrils are excessively visible from the front.

The impression of the nose is determined not only by the bridge and tip, but also by the width of the nostrils, the shape of the nostrils, and...

What are the methods for bulbous nose correction and alar reduction according to a rhinoplasty expert?
The standards of beauty constantly change with the times. Likewise, the criteria by which we judge a person based on their first impression are also bound to change. Among these, while a "bulbous nose" used to be called a nose that brings wealth and fortune, it is no longer considered a blessed nose today. Nowadays, rather than a bulbous nose with wide nostrils, nose shapes that create a neat and sophisticated image are popular. In particular, the nose…
