Gangnam Station Rhinoplasty Implant Height: How Should You Choose? (Tips from Vibe Plastic Surgery)

Hello!

This is Vibe Plastic Surgery :)

During Gangnam Station rhinoplasty consultations,

one of the most frequently asked questions is,

'How is the nose height determined?'

We will explain this step-by-step from a specialist's perspective!

On how nose height is determined and

what the ideal nose height is for you,

we will easily and clearly guide you!😊

​

What is the standard for implant height?

How many mm is the nasal bridge implant?

How many mm will the nasal tip be raised?

While conducting Gangnam Station rhinoplasty consultations,

we often see patients asking

questions like the ones above.

While nasal bridge implants are expressed in mm units,

the nasal tip is not expressed in mm.

For the nasal tip, factors like skin thickness, cartilage shape, and cartilage flexibility

all move and work together, so

we do not express its height with a simple number!

​

​

Another thing during Gangnam Station rhinoplasty consultations

that many people find confusing is

that the silicone implant inserted into the nasal bridge

is straight like a piece of chalk.

Many people think this,

but in reality, that is not the case.

Implants are streamlined with natural curves.

​

To match facial shape, skin thickness, and nasal bridge height,

they are manufactured in various shapes

and subdivided for use!

You can categorize them based on the mm

of the thickest part of the implant! :)

​

What is the perfect implant height for me?!

At Vibe Plastic Surgery for Gangnam Station rhinoplasty,

we mainly use implant heights

of about 3~5mm during nose surgery.

​

If the glabella is low and the nasal bridge lacks curves,

If the glabella is high but the nasal bridge and tip are low,

​

If there is already some nasal bridge height,

If the width of the nose is wide or narrow,

If the skin is thick or thin,

​

Do you want a natural-looking nasal tip?

Or do you want a glamorous look?

​

Depending on the desired shape,

the shape and height of the implant will vary.

​

The most common cases at

Vibe Plastic Surgery for Gangnam Station rhinoplasty are as follows!

✔️Relatively natural nose: 3~4mm

✔️High nasal bridge and glamorous nose: 5~6mm

​

However, rather than deciding in advance

how many mm you want to insert,

you should visit in person for a thorough consultation,

and proceed with surgery that considers

the shape, thickness, elasticity, and balance of your nose :)

​

If the range your nose can naturally stretch

is about 4mm, and you forcefully insert a larger 5~6mm implant,

over time,

the silicone may show through,

or the skin tissue may not withstand the pressure,

increasing the risk of inflammation!

​

Will the implant be inserted exactly as it is?

When we show implants to patients visiting

Vibe Plastic Surgery for Gangnam Station rhinoplasty,

many think they are inserted into the nose exactly as they are.

That is not true!

After deciding on the shape through consultation,

we anticipate the patient's nose shape and desired changes,

and go through a process called 'carving' to sculpt the implant.

​

Conclusion!

In conclusion,

rhinoplasty is not determined

simply by the height of the implant alone,

but must take into account each individual's skin thickness,

cartilage structure, and facial proportions!
