Answering All Your Questions About Eye and Nose Plastic Surgery

Hello.

This is Vibe Plastic Surgery.

​

Lately, the number of people getting eye and nose surgeries

at the same time has been increasing.

Just by changing the eye size, double eyelid line, and nose height,

a significant transformation in your image is possible,

which is why eye and nose plastic surgeries

are becoming so popular.

​

​

At Vibe Plastic Surgery,

our board-certified Chief Surgeon's

main areas of expertise are eye and nose surgeries.

Starting now, we will openly answer

all your questions about eye and nose surgery

right here at Vibe Plastic Surgery.

​

​

Eye and Nose Surgery at a Young Age?

​

As interest in plastic surgery grows,

we receive many inquiries from parents of teenagers

and from teenagers themselves.

Since teenagers are still minors,

there are naturally burdens and concerns about surgery,

and parental consent is required,

so they must visit the clinic with a parent for a consultation.

​

Additionally, because physical growth and development

vary from person to person,

these factors must be fully considered and accurately assessed

to ensure highly satisfying results.

​

​

Is Rhinoplasty Possible from Middle School?

​

For the nose, this is not the case.

In the case of eyes, because the surgery usually involves soft tissue (flesh),

it is generally considered that development is complete enough

by the 2nd or 3rd year of middle school,

making surgery possible at that age.

However, for the nose,

it is not simply made up of soft tissue alone.

Soft tissue, subcutaneous fat, cartilage, and bone must all be

comprehensively evaluated,

and these structures are not fully developed by middle school.

​

Therefore, we typically consider the growth of cartilage and bone

to be fully complete around the 2nd or 3rd year of high school,

so we recommend getting rhinoplasty

at that age.

​

​

Eye and Nose Surgery: Together or Separately?

​

In reality, whether you do your eyes and nose together or separately

does not matter at all.

Whether done together or separately, there will be no significant difference

in the final results or your level of satisfaction.

​

However, the best time to undergo surgery

is when you can feel the most comfortable

and have plenty of free time to recover.

​

​

Does Rhinoplasty Give an Epicanthoplasty Effect?

​

Inside the inner corner of the eye, there is a very strong structure

called the medial canthal ligament.

Because of this, simply raising the nose bridge by a few millimeters with a silicone implant

and pulling the skin does not actually cause the eyes

to be pulled closer together.

​

Of course, as the height increases,

visual focus is drawn to the center,

so some people may occasionally feel they look slightly closer together,

but there is no actual change in the physical distance.

​

​

Which Area is Operated on First During Eye and Nose Surgery?

​

Naturally, the eyes are done first.

The reason is that during eye surgery,

you need to open and close your eyes mid-procedure

so the surgeon can check the shape. Therefore, it is usually done under twilight sedation,

where the surgery proceeds while you are in a slightly drowsy, semi-asleep state.

​

On the other hand, to reduce the anxiety,

fear, and pain felt during rhinoplasty,

the standard sequence is to finish the eyes first and then perform the nose surgery

while you are deeply asleep.

​

​

Preparing for Eye and Nose Surgery?

​

It is true that there are trendy eye and nose styles these days.

However, if those styles do not suit you

and are not the look you are aiming for,

no matter how trendy they are,

there is no need to blindly follow them.

Enhancing your own unique beauty,

vibe, and charm to the fullest

is what I believe to be the true appeal of plastic surgery.

​

Before undergoing eye and nose surgery, consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon

about which procedures suit you best

and how the surgery will be performed

before making your decision

is the smartest choice you can make.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can teenagers in their teens undergo eye and nose plastic surgery?

Yes, the possible timing varies by area. Eye surgery is usually possible from the 8th or 9th grade of middle school, but nose surgery is recommended after the 11th or 12th grade of high school when bone and cartilage growth is complete. Minors require parental consent.

Is it better to have eye and nose surgery together?

There is no significant difference in results or satisfaction whether done together or separately. It is recommended to proceed when you are most comfortable with the surgery and have ample time.

Does nose surgery create the effect of epicanthoplasty (inner corner eye surgery)?

No, there is no actual change in the intercanthal distance. There is a strong medial canthal ligament inside the eye, so the eyes do not become closer together just because the bridge of the nose is raised. However, visually, they may appear slightly more concentrated towards the center.

When undergoing eye and nose surgery together, which area is operated on first?

Eye surgery is performed first. Eye surgery is typically performed under semi-sedation, requiring the patient to open and close their eyes to check the shape during the procedure. Afterward, nose surgery is usually performed under deep sleep to reduce anxiety and pain.
