Our specialists will give you a beautiful nose that suits you.
When viewed from the front, the nose is at the center of the face, giving a sense of its volume and presence.
When viewed from the side, it contributes greatly to a person’s profile.
The three-dimensionality of the face is influenced by the height of the nose, and the line of the nasal dorsum.
For those who want to make their nose taller, or make their round nose elegantly thinner, or adjust the shape of their nose, we will propose the best method to meet your wishes.

Anatomy of Nose
Under the skin, there is subcutaneous fatty tissue, and the structural tissues that support the nose are the alar cartilage, septal cartilage, lateral nasal cartilage, and nasal bones.
Many oriental noses have thick skin and fatty tissue, as well as poorly developed cartilage and bone.
Nasal surgery can correct all of these perceived negative aspects of an oriental nose.
The figure below is a cross-sectional view of the nose cut in the middle.
The septal cartilage is supported by the nasal bone above, the ethomoid bone perpendicular plate behind, and the vomer and maxillary bones below.
The anterior upper part of the septal cartilage is a key structure to consider during surgery. It is relatively soft and thin, making it easy to move the tip of the nose laterally.
Balance of the Face
The nose is at the center of the face, and the size and width of the nose has a significant effect on the balance of the face.
Profile of the side of the nose
About the nasal dorsum line
The nasal dorsal line from the nasal root to the nasal tip is a matter of preference.
Whether you like an eagle nose, a straight line, or a slightly curved line, you can achieve any shape by adjusting the prosthesis according to your preference.
About nasal tip projection
The relationship between the tip defining point and the nasal dorsal line is one of the most important points when considering ideal nasal shape.
Before surgery, it is important to consider how you prefer both the position and shape of the nasal tip.
Various angles of the nose
Nasofacial angle
The line between the glabella and the tip of the chin is called the facial plane, and the angle between the nasal dorsal line and the facial plane is called the nasofacial angle.
The ideal angle is considered to be 36-40 degrees.
Nasofrontal angle
The angle between the line connecting the nasal root with the glabella and the line connecting the nasal root with the nasal tip (tip defining point) is called the nasofrontal angle.
The ideal angle is considered to be 115-130 degrees.
Nasolabial angle
The angle between the line along the columella and the line along the upper lip is called the nasolabial angle.
The ideal angle is 90-100 degrees for men and 100-110 degrees for women.
Angle of divergence
The angle formed by the intermediate crus of the alar cartilage is called the angle of divergence.
The distance between the intermediate crus is called the interdomal distance.
When adjusting the roundness and width of the tip of the nose, it is important to be aware of the interdomal distance and angle of divergence.
The shape of the nasal tip is adjusted by suturing the alar cartilage with an interdomal suture and/or transdomal suture.
Columella-lobule angle
The medial crus is divided into the columella portion and the nasal wing portion.
The angle between the columella portion and the nasal wing portion is called the columella-lobule angle.
If either of these portions are small or the angle is ambiguous, it is considered undesirable as a nose form.
The shape and angle can be adjusted by using a columella-tip graft.
Approach of nose surgery
① Infracartilagenous incision
Closed approach
This method is an incision of the anterior margin of the alar cartilage.
② Intercartilagenous incision
Closed approach
This method is an incision between the alar cartilage and the upper lateral cartilage.
③ Transcolumellar incision
Open approach
This method is an incision of the columella.
We choose an appropriate incision site depending on the type of surgery in order to achieve the best results with minimal scarring.
Specifically, an infracartilagenous incision is a method used to correct a blunt nasal tip.
An intercartilagenous incision is used only when a glabellar implant is to be inserted or when an implant is to be removed.
A transcolumellar incision is used for caudal septal extension graft surgery and osteotomy.
It safely secures the surgical area and ensures accurate manipulation of cartilage grafts, osteotomies, and other structural changes.
