I want a sophisticated straight-semi-curved nose with a tip that is not too sharp :D (Shin Se-kyung, Go Youn-jung style)
A case study of a 30s female patient who achieved a youthful, sophisticated look by correcting a long, bulbous nose and hump while maintaining a natural tip.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 30s
# Medical History: Bridge filler (+) to hide a nasal hump
# Goal: To correct the nasal hump and the long, drooping, bulbous tip.
* Consultation
# Her biggest stress was that her long, drooping nasal tip made her face look elongated and older than her actual age.
# Since the distance between her eyes is relatively narrow, we decided to choose an implant very naturally (to ensure the eyes do not look closer together).
# The plan was to create a shorter nose than her current one, but with an ideal nasolabial angle so that the nostrils do not appear overly exposed.
# Correct the bulbous nose, but avoid making it too sharp! She mentioned that noses like Shin Se-kyung’s and Go Youn-jung’s are very beautiful.
* Surgical Plan
# Dissolve filler (about 1 week before surgery)
# Rhinoplasty (Bridge)
- Hump reduction
- Silicone implant (Desired a very natural height that doesn’t look obvious or make the eyes look converged)
# Tip Plasty
- Long nose & nasolabial angle correction
- Bulbous nose correction (Not too sharp!)
* Post-operative Progress
1. In the post-operative results, a natural yet defined nasal tip was achieved without excessive nostril exposure, exactly as requested.
2. As the nasolabial angle was improved, the line connecting the nose to the philtrum became more sophisticated and beautiful.
3. The patient was very satisfied as the wide nasal tip became slimmer, and the added dimension to her previously flat-looking face created a more youthful appearance.
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions
What nose shape did the patient most want to improve?
The patient was most stressed by their long, drooping, and blunt nasal tip, which made their face look longer and older than their actual age. They wanted a natural, semi-upturned nose like Shin Se-kyung or Go Youn-jung, not too sharp.
What should be done if the patient has experience with filler injections before nose surgery?
Yes, if the patient has experience with filler injections before nose surgery, the filler should be dissolved approximately one week before the surgery. This is necessary for safe and accurate surgical planning.
How was the nasal bridge augmentation performed?
Nasal bridge augmentation was performed using a silicone implant to correct the dorsal hump and achieve a very natural height that doesn't make the eyes appear too close together. The goal was an unnoticeable, natural look.
How was the bulbous nose corrected during tip plasty?
During tip plasty, the bulbous nose was corrected, with an emphasis on creating a natural shape that wasn't too sharp, as per the patient's request. Correction of the long nose and nasolabial angle was also performed.
What changes can be expected after surgery?
After surgery, a natural yet defined nasal tip will be achieved, and the nasolabial angle will be enhanced, creating a refined line connecting the nose to the philtrum. You can also expect a slimmer wide nostril and a more three-dimensional face, resulting in a younger appearance.
