Dragon Nose Rhinoplasty: Let's Create a Refined Nose with Vibe's Nostril Lowering :)

​

​

​

A nose where the nostrils are highly visible from the sides

is often referred to as a "dragon nose."

Generally, for those who have a dragon nose,

we recommend nostril lowering.

​

So today, for those who are

stressed about their dragon nose,

we will take some time to learn about

nostril lowering at Vibe Plastic Surgery.

​

​

​

Nostril Lowering by Dr. Yoo Young-moon at Vibe!

For noses where the nostrils look

larger and wider than average,

Vibe uses an alar correction method on the sides of the nose

to ensure it doesn't look flared from any angle,

creating a beautiful nasal tip.

​

​

​

​

​

​

While researching nostril lowering,

you probably have many concerns.

​

Vibe's nostril lowering minimizes scarring

by making incisions inside the nose,

and correctly corrects nostril asymmetry

to achieve perfect bilateral symmetry.

​

Furthermore, by reducing nostril exposure

from every angle,

you can expect a high level of satisfaction :)

​

​

​

​

​

​

Not all dragon noses look exactly the same,

so the surgical methods also vary.

To broadly explain the 3 types of dragon noses,

they can be categorized into cases where the inner nostril is retracted,

the center is retracted, or the outer part is retracted.

​

First, if the inner part of the nostril is retracted,

we reposition the alar cartilage

and move the nasal tip cartilage

to the left and right to correct it.

​

If the center of the nostril is retracted

but the nostrils are not overly visible,

it can be corrected using only autologous cartilage.

If the nostril exposure is severe, it can be corrected

by grafting both autologous cartilage and skin together.

​

Similarly, if the outer part of the nostril is retracted

and nostril exposure is minimal, autologous cartilage

can be used. However, for those with

severe nostril exposure, correction is possible

by using both autologous cartilage and skin.

​

​

​

Nostril Lowering, we recommend it to these people!

When the alar rim is retracted, exposing the inside of the nose

When the alar rims are asymmetrical

When the nose looks pinched after rhinoplasty

When contracture occurs after rhinoplasty,

causing the nostrils to look upturned

When the center of the nostril is highly retracted,

making it look like an upturned nose

​

​

​

​

​

Among those who actually received

rhinoplasty at our Vibe clinic, many have improved

their dragon nose through nostril lowering,

achieving a slim shape without flaring,

so it would be helpful to refer to the before and after photos :)

​

​

Patients are highly satisfied with Vibe

not only in terms of results but also in other aspects.

​

Because it is a clinic run solely by Dr. Yoo Young-moon

with a 1:1 dedicated all-care system,

the satisfaction rate tends to be even higher.

​

Moreover, we pursue only necessary surgeries

without overtreatment, and through 1-on-1 private intensive care,

you can receive consultations, surgery, treatment, and recovery

in a single private room, and we also provide

meticulous aftercare!
