Arrow Nose Correction at VIBE Plastic Surgery! :)
A case study of a 30-year-old female patient who underwent arrow nose correction and bridge enhancement to achieve a more youthful and refined appearance.
* Patient Information
# Female in her 30s
# Medical History: Previous nose filler and Hiko (thread lift) procedures
# Concern: A long, drooping nasal tip (arrow nose) that becomes more prominent when smiling!
* Consultation
# Her biggest stress was that the long, drooping nasal tip made her look older than her actual age.
# We planned to create a shorter nose compared to her current state, aiming for an ideal nasolabial angle that provides a lifted tip without looking overly upturned.
* Surgical Plan
# Nasal Bridge Rhinoplasty
- Dissolving existing filler and removing foreign substances (Hiko threads)
- Smoothing the dorsal hump
- Naturally elevating the bridge using an implant
# Nasal Tip Rhinoplasty
- Long nose (arrow nose) correction
- Nasolabial angle correction
* Post-Operative Progress
1. In the post-operative results, the arrow nose was clearly corrected. At the same time, a natural yet sharp nasal tip was achieved without excessive nostril exposure.
2. As the nasolabial angle was improved, the line connecting the nose to the philtrum became more sophisticated and beautiful.
3. The wide bridge became narrower and higher, drawing focus to the center of the face. This added dimension to a previously flat-looking face, creating a slimming effect that the patient was very satisfied with.
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions
In what cases is an arrow-tip nose correction necessary?
Arrow-tip nose correction is necessary when the tip of the nose sags long, making one look older than their actual age, or when the nose tip sags more severely when smiling. In such cases, the nose tip can be corrected to an ideal nasolabial angle for improvement.
What surgical plan is made for arrow-tip nose correction?
For arrow-tip nose correction, a combination of bridge augmentation and nose tip correction is usually planned. Bridge augmentation involves refining a hooked nose after filler or foreign substance removal and raising it with an implant, while nose tip correction proceeds by correcting a long nose and the nasolabial angle.
Is arrow-tip nose correction possible even if I have experience with nose fillers or Hiko procedures?
Yes, it is possible. If you have a history of nose fillers or Hiko procedures, the surgical plan can first involve dissolving the filler or removing foreign substances (Hiko threads) before proceeding with the arrow-tip nose correction surgery.
What changes can I expect after arrow-tip nose correction?
After arrow-tip nose correction, you can expect a natural and sharp nose tip as the sagging nose tip is corrected. Additionally, the nasolabial angle is enhanced, improving the line from the nose to the philtrum elegantly, and creating a more three-dimensional face that appears smaller.
Who performs arrow-tip nose correction?
Arrow-tip nose correction consultation and surgery are performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon. At Vibe Plastic Surgery, the representative director with extensive experience directly performs the surgery.
What are the possible side effects after surgery?
Complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery, and these may vary depending on the individual, so caution is required.
