Arrow Nose Rhinoplasty at VIBE Plastic Surgery!
A case study of a 20s female patient who corrected a long, drooping nose tip to achieve a more youthful and sophisticated look with natural results.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Long, drooping nose tip
* Consultation
# Her biggest stress factor was that her long, drooping nose tip made her look older than her actual age.
# We planned to create a shorter nose than her current one, but with an ideal nasolabial angle so the tip wouldn’t look overly upturned.
* Surgical Plan
# Bridge Rhinoplasty
- Silicone implant (Desired a very natural height that doesn’t look obvious)
# Nose Tip Rhinoplasty
- Long nose correction
- Nasolabial angle correction
* Post-operative Progress
1. In the post-operative results, a natural yet defined nose 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. By narrowing and raising the wide bridge, the focus is drawn 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 arrow-tip nose surgery necessary?
Arrow-tip nose surgery can be considered when the tip of the nose is long and droopy, making one look older than their actual age, or when the overall impression of the face seems bland. In this case, a woman in her 20s who was stressed by her long, droopy nose tip wanted improvement through surgery.
What aspects can be improved with arrow-tip nose surgery?
Yes, arrow-tip nose surgery can correct a long, droopy nose tip to be shorter and create an ideal nasolabial angle. Additionally, combining it with bridge augmentation can achieve a natural height and enhance the overall facial dimension.
How does the nose shape change after surgery?
After surgery, a natural yet defined nose tip can be achieved, with the nostrils not overly visible, as requested. As the nasolabial angle is enhanced, the line connecting the nose to the philtrum is refined.
Can bridge augmentation be performed simultaneously?
Yes, bridge augmentation can be performed simultaneously. In this case, bridge augmentation was combined using a silicone implant to achieve a natural, subtle height. It can also add dimension to a flat face, creating the effect of a smaller face.
What are the possible side effects after surgery?
Yes, complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry can vary by individual after surgery, and caution is required. It is important to consult sufficiently with a specialist before surgery.
Who performs arrow-tip nose surgery?
It is recommended to consult with and undergo arrow-tip nose surgery by a board-certified plastic surgeon. Vibe Plastic Surgery states that their lead surgeon, who has extensive experience, personally conducts consultations and surgeries.
