Most Asian noses are small and round, with a low bridge or tip that looks blunt and flat. Because of this, some people feel stress about a low nose from comparisons with Westerners that are not really comparisons at all. That stress only builds up because of the high nose bridges of Korean celebrities seen on TV.
Naturally, the more stress there is, the more interest grows in the nose shapes of the celebrities people admire, and as male and female stars have gone on admitting to nose surgery, it is also true that resistance to plastic surgery has been fading.
Putting together what plastic surgeons say ordinary people want in a nose these days, it is a natural, well-defined nose with a pretty line seen from the side as well as from the front. In other words, they want 'nose surgery so natural that it does not show.'
Dr. Yoosuk Chung, Director of TheLINE Plastic Surgery, explains, "These days the mood is toward customized nose surgery that considers the overall balance and dimension of the individual's face," adding, "Few people want nose surgery that merely builds a high bridge as in the past, and since an unnatural result can lead to revision surgery, I tend not to recommend it."
According to Dr. Chung, the basis for a natural nose line is a one-on-one individual diagnosis and analysis. For nose surgery patients are happy with, the surgeon diagnoses and analyzes the entire facial line, the nose line and the angles, then sets the overall line running from the forehead to the bridge and chin and reflects it in the operation.
Barbie nose surgery can be cited as one such customized procedure. It is nose surgery in which the bridge and tip stay alive in a three-dimensional way, connecting naturally from the forehead to the tip of the nose so that the facial line comes through. It helps turn an artificial, awkward nose shape into a natural and refined one.
It is known to bring high satisfaction because surgery proceeds after a thorough consultation with a specialized medical team and a diagnostic analysis using 3D-CT, and another advantage of Barbie nose surgery is that delicate micro-incisions minimize tissue damage, leaving almost no scarring or swelling.
Dr. Junghwan Jeon, Director at the clinic, advised, "Nose surgery is popular with people of every age and gender, but it should not be approached lightly as simply raising the bridge. Even a small change in shape or height can completely change the impression, so an accurate diagnosis has to be followed by accurate surgery," adding, "That is why a thorough consultation with an experienced nose surgery medical team is necessary."
