[남자 코 성형] 낮은 콧대와 복코 교정으로 중안부 함몰감까지 해결한 20대 남성 리얼 후기 by 신논현역 바이브 성형외과 유영문 원장

Hello.

I am Dr. Young-Moon Yoo from Vibe Plastic Surgery.

It is often said that the nose plays a central role in determining a man's image.

This is because the height and shape of the nose can correct not only overall facial dimension but also optical illusions such as a protruding mouth or a wide, flat face.

Today, I would like to introduce a real surgical case of a male patient in his 20s who was concerned about a sunken midface and a flat impression due to a ‘low nasal bridge and a blunt, bulbous nose’.

Let’s explore the detailed surgical notes to see how he was transformed into a sophisticated and three-dimensional straight-line profile.

■ Pre-operative Diagnosis: Low Nasal Bridge, Bulbous Nose, and Sunken Midface

[Patient's Concerns Summary]

1. Overall low nasal bridge, giving a bland impression

2. A typical ‘bulbous nose’ style with a wide and blunt nasal tip

3. Due to the low nose, the midface appeared relatively sunken and lacked dimension

In this patient's case, he not only had a low nose but also a bulbous nose with spread cartilage at the tip and thick skin tissue.

When the center of the nose is low and wide like this,

the gaze is dispersed sideways, making the face appear wider than it actually is,

and giving the impression that the midface (from under the eyes to above the lips) recedes backward.

Therefore, the core of this surgery was to ‘secure a distinct nasal bridge line’ and ‘slim down the spread tissue at the nasal tip to enhance the overall midface dimension of the face’.

■ Dr. Young-Moon Yoo's Surgical Plan at Vibe Plastic Surgery

Unlike women's upturned or semi-upturned nose lines, the key to male rhinoplasty is a ‘straight line’ that extends directly from the glabella to the nasal tip.

Considering the patient's facial features and balance, we performed a customized surgery as follows:

1. Nasal Bridge: The Synergy of a 4.5mm Implant and Osteotomy

Considering the patient's glabella height and forehead line,

we selected a 4.5mm thick implant that would best enhance his masculine appeal.

Additionally, we performed osteotomy to gather the existing wide nasal bone inwards,

creating a slim and prominent nasal bridge line that does not appear bulky from the front.

2. Nasal Tip: The Golden Ratio Combination of Three Cartilages

For male bulbous nose correction, if the nasal tip is not firmly supported, it can become blunt again over time.

To establish a solid foundation, we used septal cartilage and stable donated rib cartilage to build a strong support for the nasal tip.

Ear cartilage was appropriately placed on top to refine the shape of the nasal tip naturally and three-dimensionally.

We maximized the frontal effect by firmly gathering the cartilage within the thick bulbous nose skin.

■ Pre/Post-Surgery Changes: A Dramatic Difference in Dimension

The most noticeable change in the patient's appearance after surgery is the ‘dimension of the midface’.

Frontal Effect: As the spread bulbous nose was slimmed down, the gaze was drawn to the center, creating the effect of a smaller overall face.

Side Effect: A masculine straight line extends smoothly from the glabella to the nasal tip. With the nasal bridge and tip enhanced, the previously sunken midface gained volume and prominence. This resulted in a relatively less protruding mouth and a more intellectual appearance of the jawline.

■ These individuals will experience the highest satisfaction from surgery!

Like the case introduced today, individuals with the following concerns can expect a significant image transformation through Vibe rhinoplasty:

Those with a low nasal bridge, making the center of their face appear flat and bland.

Those with a blunt nasal tip and wide nostrils, preventing a sophisticated impression (concerns about a bulbous nose).

Those with a low nose, making their mouth appear relatively protruded or their midface sunken.

Those who desire both a masculine straight line and a prominent nasal bridge line.

■ Conclusion

Male rhinoplasty requires a precise anatomical understanding, along with a customized design that considers the unique skeletal structure and skin thickness of men.

It is important to maximize the advantages of one's facial features without overdoing it.

If you have been feeling unsatisfied every time you look in the mirror due to a low nose or bulbous nose, please feel free to visit us for a systematic 3D CT diagnosis and consultation.

This has been Dr. Young-Moon Yoo from Vibe Plastic Surgery. Thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most important line to consider in male rhinoplasty?

Unlike women's rhinoplasty, the 'straight line' extending directly from the glabella to the nasal tip is key for men. We prioritize designs that enhance natural, masculine appeal while considering the patient's facial features and balance.

What materials are used for bulbous nose correction?

For bulbous nose correction, septal cartilage and donated rib cartilage are used to build a firm support for the nasal tip. Ear cartilage is then appropriately placed on top to refine the nasal tip's shape naturally and three-dimensionally.

How are a low nasal bridge and wide nasal bone corrected?

A low nasal bridge is corrected by using a customized implant to achieve the desired height, considering the patient's glabella height and forehead line. For a wide nasal bone, osteotomy is performed concurrently to create a slim and prominent nasal bridge line from the front.

Can rhinoplasty also improve a sunken midface?

Yes, it can be improved. If the midface appears sunken or lacks dimension due to a low nose, raising the nasal bridge and tip can add volume to the midface, enhancing the overall facial dimension.

What changes can be expected after male rhinoplasty?

After surgery, patients can expect an enhanced midface dimension and a slimmer appearance of the previously bulbous nose, making the face appear smaller. Additionally, a sophisticated impression can be achieved with a masculine straight nasal bridge line and a prominent nasal tip.
