VIBE Plastic Surgery for a Glamorous Straight-Semi-Curved Nose! (Correction of Drooping Columella and Dragon Nose)
Check out this transformation of a long nose with a drooping columella and dragon nose into a sophisticated, glamorous straight-semi-curved profile at VIBE Plastic Surgery.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Current Status: The columella is significantly drooping, making the nostrils overly visible and giving an aged appearance.
* Consultation
# The patient’s primary stress was a long nose caused by a dorsal hump and a severely drooping columella.
# She also wanted to improve the ‘dragon nose’ look, where the nostrils appear large and overly circular.
# Since a long nose can make one look older than their actual age, we planned to create an appropriate tip shape and nasolabial angle.
* Surgical Plan
# Rhinoplasty
- Hump reduction
- Correction of drooping columella
- Correction of long nose/nasolabial angle
- Dragon nose correction
* Post-operative Findings
# By correcting the hump and the drooping columella, the nose length was shortened, resulting in a very sharp and defined nasal tip.
# Doesn’t she look much more sophisticated now that the flared alae and ‘dragon nose’ appearance have been improved?!
# This was a highly satisfying case that truly embodies the ‘glamorous straight-semi-curved’ look :)
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions
What nose concerns were addressed?
In this case, we improved issues such as nostril exposure due to a drooping columella, a hooked nose, a nose that appeared long, and a dragon-like nose with large, round nostrils. These issues can make one appear older than their actual age.
What changes can be expected after surgery?
After surgery, the hooked nose is corrected, and the drooping columella is lifted, making the nasal tip shorter and more defined. Additionally, the flared nostrils and dragon-like nose appearance are improved, resulting in an overall sophisticated and satisfying 'natural semi-up-turned nose' shape.
What is a 'natural semi-up-turned nose'?
A 'natural semi-up-turned nose' refers to a nose line that gives a natural yet defined and sophisticated impression. In this case, correcting the hooked nose and drooping columella resulted in a shorter, more defined nasal tip, completing a sophisticated semi-up-turned nose line with high satisfaction.
What should I be aware of when getting nose surgery?
Nose surgery requires caution as various complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry can occur. It is crucial to consult sufficiently with a plastic surgeon with extensive experience before proceeding with the surgery.
