Have a "Dragon Nose" with Overly Exposed Nostrils? 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 from an aesthetic perspective.

​

That is why many people seek dragon nose correction to improve this.

Today, for those who are looking into dragon nose correction,

we will share some useful information. :)

​

​

​

What is Nostril Lowering?

Before explaining nostril lowering, let me first tell you

what a dragon nose is!

​

A dragon nose refers to a nose shape where the sides of the alar wings are retracted upwards,

causing the nostrils to be overly exposed.

The method used to correct this dragon nose is called nostril lowering (alar retraction correction).

​

​

​

How is Nostril Lowering Surgery Performed?

If the alar cartilage is sufficiently large,

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

If there is a lack of alar cartilage,

it can be improved by grafting other cartilage.

​

Just 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 a previous surgery.

Before proceeding, determining the exact cause of the pinched nose

is extremely important.

​

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

the tied area.

However, if the nostrils are severely pinched

and overly exposed, making it insufficient to just release the ties,

we correct it by grafting cartilage and skin.

The Doctor's Unique Know-How for Nostril Lowering Surgery?

In severe cases of a dragon nose, both 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 the nostrils before surgery

and designing it to lower only the necessary amount

is what I consider

my own unique know-how.

​

​

In fact, many people are receiving nostril lowering consultations

and proceeding with the surgery.

If you are stressed about having a dragon nose,

we recommend visiting Vibe
