[Dragon Nose Surgery] Do Your Nostrils Point Upward Like a Dragon? Correct It with Alar Rim Lowering!

If your nostrils point upward,

you may have heard that you have a "dragon nose."

​

While the term "dragon nose" we are discussing

is not a medical term, it refers to a condition where the nostrils are retracted upward

and are highly visible

when viewed from both the front and the side.

​

​

​

​

​

​

As the name suggests, it was given this name

because it resembles the shape of a dragon's nose.

​

So today, we will talk about

a surgical method that can correct the dragon nose type,

known as alar rim lowering

(nostril lowering). :)

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

At Vibe Plastic Surgery, Dr. Yoo Young-moon

corrects excessively exposed nostrils and a wide nose

using his own exclusive know-how

through an alar base and rim correction method.

​

A nose isn't necessarily beautiful just because the bridge is high!

If you have excessively exposed nostrils

like a dragon nose, we recommend proceeding with a dragon nose correction

through Vibe's alar rim lowering.

​

Vibe's dragon nose surgery involves making an incision

inside the nose to minimize scarring.

If there is nostril asymmetry,

we correct the nostrils to be symmetrical,

and we create an ideal nose shape

so that the nostrils are not overly visible

from any angle.

​

​

​

​

​

​

Not all dragon noses are treated the same way. :)

Even among dragon noses, there are types where the nostrils are retracted inward,

types where the nostrils are retracted centrally,

and types where the nostrils are retracted outward.

Therefore, it is important to tailor the procedure accordingly!

​

Thus, we strongly advise you to receive your dragon nose surgery

after consulting with a highly skilled, board-certified plastic surgeon

who has extensive specialized knowledge in rhinoplasty!

​

​

​

Let's find out if you might have a dragon nose too~!

If your alar rims are lifted, exposing the inside of your nose

If your alar rims are asymmetrical

If your nose looks pinched after a previous rhinoplasty

If your nostrils appear lifted

due to capsular contracture after rhinoplasty

If the center of your nostrils is highly retracted,

making it look like an upturned nose

​

If multiple items among these 5 apply to you,

please consider dragon nose surgery.

Low nose, bulbous nose, dorsal hump, drooping tip, etc.

​

While researching dragon nose surgery,

you probably have many concerns.

​

Among them, the 2 things people are most curious about!

Whether the nasal tip becomes bulbous after alar rim lowering,

and whether the nasal tip shape deforms

or the nostrils become visible again over time after the procedure.

These are common worries.

​
