Can a Long, Arrow-like Nose Be Improved?

  Can a Long, Arrow-like Nose Be Improved?

Among our facial features, the nose is located at the center of the face and greatly influences the first impression. The shape, height, angle, and length of the nose can change the overall mood or image of a person. Therefore, if the nose appears relatively long compared to the face length, it can make the entire face look longer and older.

This is called a long nose or arrow nose.

It refers to a nose that is long and drooping compared to the overall proportion of the face. Let me explain in more detail about a long nose!

Usually, the ideal length of the nose is about 1/3 of the entire face. However, if it exceeds 1/3 of the face, it is referred to as a long nose. If the length from the eyebrows to the end of the nose exceeds 1/3 of the face, it is considered a long nose. Another feature of a long nose is that it points sharply downward when smiling, hence called an arrow nose. A long nose can also make the philtrum look short when viewed from the front.

Now that we know what a long nose is, 

let's look at who needs surgery.

1. When the nose tip droops and looks like an arrow nose.

2. When the nose is too long compared to the facial proportions.

3. When the nose tip sags and gives an aged appearance.

4. When the long nose makes the impression look sharp.

If you fit any of the above, you may be a good candidate for long nose surgery!

In the case of a long nose, it usually involves misaligned alar cartilage and an overdeveloped septal cartilage. Therefore, to improve a long nose, the current state of the nose must be accurately diagnosed before planning long nose surgery. Since the nose contains many tissues, surgery must consider not only the aesthetic but also the functional aspects.

It is important to check if the hospital has experienced medical staff and the appropriate equipment.
