Elegant Straight-Semi-Basal Nose! You Can Have Kim Yoo-jung’s Nose Too!

* Patient Information

# Female in her 20s

# Medical History: Hiko (Misko) thread lift procedure

# The patient has a low nose and a bulbous tip. She desires a more defined and sophisticated nose shape. She loves Kim Yoo-jung’s nose!

# Her forehead is uneven and lacks volume.

* Consultation

# She previously tried thread lifting to improve the bulbous tip and raise the nose tip, but it was ineffective. While a bulbous nose was traditionally called a ‘lucky nose’ in Korea, many people now seek improvement because it can give a blunt or heavy impression.

# We expect a satisfying nose line by refining the tip to be slimmer while raising and smoothing the bridge line.

# Since the forehead lacks volume and is uneven, we planned to improve it through fat grafting.

* Surgical Plan

# Tip Plasty (Thread removal, bulbous nose correction, nasolabial angle correction)

# Rhinoplasty/Bridge (Hump correction, silicone implant)

# Fat Grafting (Forehead, temples, under-eyes, front cheeks)

* Post-operative Progress

# We achieved an elegant straight-semi-basal line while correcting the bulbous tip.

# Simultaneously, adding volume to the forehead and front cheeks resulted in a much more luxurious and sophisticated facial profile.

# When planning rhinoplasty, you should not look at the nose in isolation, but rather the entire line connecting from the forehead to the nose and the tip of the chin.

# Doesn’t it look like her idol Kim Yoo-jung’s nose now?! :)
