Correct Your Dragon Nose at VIBE Plastic Surgery!
A case study of a 30-year-old female patient who underwent revision rhinoplasty to correct a drooping columella and 'dragon nose' appearance for a more youthful look.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 30s
# Medical History: Previous rhinoplasty using L-shaped silicone (+)
# Current Condition: Stressed because the nostrils look like a ‘dragon nose’ and the columella is drooping.
* Consultation
# Her biggest stress was the heavily drooping columella, which made the nose look long and resembled a ‘dragon nose’.
# Since a long nose and dragon nose can make one look older and more aggressive than their actual age, we planned to create an appropriate tip shape and nasolabial angle.
* Plan
# Rhinoplasty
- Correction of drooping columella
- Correction of long nose/nasolabial angle
- Correction of dragon nose
* Post-operative Findings
# By correcting the long, drooping columella, the nose tip was shortened and a very sharp, defined tip was achieved.
# Doesn’t she look so much more sophisticated now that the ‘dragon nose’ look has been improved?!
# This was a case with very high satisfaction, resulting in what we call a ‘naturally glamorous’ straight-semi-curved profile!
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of case is referred to as a 'dragon nose'?
A 'dragon nose' primarily refers to cases where the nostrils resemble a dragon's nose and the columella is long and drooping. This can make one look older than their actual age or give a fierce impression.
How is dragon nose correction performed?
Dragon nose correction primarily involves correcting the drooping columella, along with correcting a long nose and the nasolabial angle. This creates an appropriate tip shape and adjusts the overall length of the nose.
Is long nose correction also possible with dragon nose correction?
Yes, it is possible. A long nose often appears with a dragon nose, and during dragon nose correction, the overall length of the nose can be adjusted by correcting the drooping columella, along with long nose and nasolabial angle correction.
How does the impression change after dragon nose correction?
After dragon nose correction, the long, drooping columella is corrected, making the nasal tip shorter and more defined, which can improve the impression to a more sophisticated one. In the case study, a splendid semi-upward nose was achieved, resulting in high satisfaction.
Is dragon nose correction possible even if I have previous nose surgery experience?
