Located at the center of the face, the nose sets the standard for facial proportion. The bridge brings out the proportions of the face, and a slightly upturned tip adds dimension to the face. Compared with a blunt nose, it is also true that it lends sophistication. Because of these aesthetic advantages of nose shape, many people come to consider rhinoplasty.
Many people strongly feel a change in their appearance as the shape of the nose changes through nose surgery. A quiet confidence and self-assurance come with it. Office worker A (female) is one of them. A flattened-looking bridge and a round tip that looked like a bulbous nose had long been A's complex. Just as she was growing tired of contouring her bridge with shading makeup every morning, she decided on nose surgery as a last resort, and she is now living a very satisfying daily life.
Dr. Jeonghwan Jeon of TheLINE Plastic Surgery said, "What A wanted was not a high, towering bridge. She hoped for a slightly more naturally straight bridge and a sophisticated tip, and this is a case where surgery was performed reflecting that request." In other words, it was rhinoplasty that considered harmony with her own face.
According to Dr. Jeonghwan Jeon, rather than people who want an unconditionally high bridge or a trending nose shape, more and more people, like A, prefer a rhinoplasty approach that considers their own facial balance and adds naturalness. The thinking is that a nose that is too high and runs only in a straight line can look masculine or artificial. A natural nasal line tailored to each patient's characteristics is the trend.
Against this backdrop, one of the methods being talked about among people who are considering or have had rhinoplasty recently is Barbie nose surgery. Its defining feature is that it harmoniously brings out not only the nasal line but the line running from the forehead to the bridge and down to the chin, like the nose of a Barbie doll. Because it brings out the line three-dimensionally, improvement of a protruding mouth and a face-reducing effect can also be expected.
In Barbie nose surgery, the nose shape that suits you is determined through 3D-CT imaging. This examination identifies the characteristics of each individual's facial structure, and precisely analyzes the height of the bridge and the tip as well as the tip angle to design the nose shape - customized rhinoplasty. The condition of the bone structure, cartilage structure, and skin layers can also be diagnosed with 3D-CT imaging, raising the safety of nose surgery.
Dr. Yoosuk Chung advised, "The point of nose surgery today is a nose shape that looks naturally high and sophisticated from any angle," adding, "For that, checking and diagnosing the patient's nasal condition before surgery is essential, and for a refined nose shape it is best to look for a clinic equipped with an advanced surgical system."
