Dragon Nose Showing Too Much Nostril? Correct It with Nostril Lowering Surgery!

​

​

​

You've probably heard of the "dragon nose" shape!

A dragon nose is not only considered unfavorable in physiognomy,

but it also lacks a sophisticated appearance aesthetically.

​

Therefore, dragon nose correction is performed to improve this.

Today, we will share useful information

for those considering dragon nose correction :)

​

​

​

What is Nostril Lowering?

Before explaining nostril lowering,

let me tell you what a dragon nose is!

​

A dragon nose refers to a nose shape where the sides of the nose (alar)

are retracted upwards, exposing a lot of the nostrils.

The method to correct this dragon nose is called nostril lowering.

​

​

​

How is Nostril Lowering Surgery Performed?

If the size of the alar cartilage is sufficient,

it can be improved by repositioning the cartilage to its normal location.

If the amount of alar cartilage is insufficient,

it can be improved by grafting other cartilage.

​

Like general rhinoplasty,

it can be performed as an open approach by making an incision on the columella,

or as a closed approach

by making incisions only inside the nostrils.

​

​

​

When is Nostril Lowering Surgery Needed?

It can be performed if you have a pinched nose or if the left and right nostrils

are asymmetrical after surgery.

Before proceeding, it is very important

to determine the cause of the pinched nose.

​

If the cartilage was tied too tightly, it is corrected by

releasing the tied area.

However, if the nostrils are severely pinched

and the nostril exposure is severe, so simply releasing it

is insufficient, cartilage and skin are grafted for correction.

The Director's Unique Nostril Lowering Surgery Know-how?

In cases of a severe dragon nose, skin and ear cartilage

are grafted together.

This is called a composite tissue graft,

which is a method of inserting the harvested cartilage and skin

into the inside of the nostril.

​

In addition, accurately determining how much to lower

before surgery and designing and lowering

only as much as necessary

can be said to be my unique know-how.

​

​

In fact, many people are receiving nostril lowering consultations

and undergoing surgery.

If you are worried about a dragon nose,

I hope you will visit Vibe

to receive a consultation and diagnosis.
