고민…개인 맞춤형 시술 적용
Many people with a 'lucky nose' (bokko), traditionally associated with good fortune, are now seeking to refine their appearance due to a growing preference for sharp, prominent noses. The nose significantly impacts overall impression, with subtle differences in nostril size, shape, and bridge height leading to noticeable changes.
As the preference for sharp, prominent noses grows, many people find the ‘lucky nose’ (bokko), traditionally believed to bring good fortune, to be unwelcome.
The nose significantly influences one's overall impression, and even subtle differences in nostril size and shape, or the height of the nasal bridge, can lead to significant changes in appearance.
Therefore, if one has wide nostrils or a ‘lucky nose’ shape, it can be challenging to create a sophisticated image, leading many to seek improvement.
Generally, the ideal nostril width is considered to be the same as the space between the eyebrows and smaller than the lips. If the nostrils are excessively large or have a round, flat shape, the nostrils themselves can appear broad, making the nasal bridge look lower than it is and giving the impression of a somewhat coarse appearance. In such cases, many seek methods to make the nostrils smaller, such as nostril reduction surgery or alar reduction. These cases can be corrected through treatments like Nose Slim Injections and nostril reduction surgery.
◆Nostril Correction: Nose Slim Injections, Nostril Reduction Surgery, etc.
▲Nose Slim Injections are composed of collagen-degrading and fat-dissolving ingredients. They break down the soft tissue and fat in the nostrils, reducing the thickness of the nostrils and alar. This short procedure reduces the muscles, tissues, and micro-fat in the nostrils, naturally making them smaller.
▲If Nose Slim Injections are insufficient, nostril reduction surgery can reduce the overall size of the nostrils, including the nostril openings and alar.
If only the lower part of the nostrils is wide, the nostrils are tied together with a thread to gather the nasal tip. If the skin of the nostrils is thick, the lower parts of both nostrils are excised to reduce their size, then gathered and sutured. This allows for nostril reduction to achieve an ideal nose shape.
A blunt nasal tip and wide, thick nostrils (bokko) occur due to excessive development of the alar cartilage at the nasal tip or an abundance of subcutaneous fat in the soft tissue of the nasal tip. Therefore, to correct a ‘lucky nose’, ‘lucky nose’ rhinoplasty must be performed, with corrections tailored to each specific case.
◆Incision inside the nose
If the alar cartilage at the nasal tip is large or spread out to the sides, correction is performed by removing or trimming the cartilage through an incision inside the nose, then tying the left and right sides together.
By cutting away large cartilage, the size of the alar cartilage is reduced, and the nostrils naturally gather towards the center, correcting the nose into a slender and prominent shape.
If there is a lot of subcutaneous fat at the nasal tip and the skin tissue is thick, the fatty tissue at the nasal tip is removed to reduce skin thickness, thereby improving the ‘lucky nose’.
Furthermore, a ‘lucky nose’ can often be accompanied by a low nose, so combining it with low nasal bridge correction using fillers can achieve an even greater corrective effect.
◆Non-incisional, minimally invasive procedure: Hiko
If there is a surgical burden when correcting a ‘lucky nose’, it can be improved through Hiko, a non-incisional, minimally invasive procedure.
Hiko is a procedure that combines PDO threads and fillers, allowing for the improvement of the nose into a delicate and three-dimensional shape, as if rhinoplasty had been performed. After inserting dissolvable threads into the nasal bridge and tip, fillers are injected to correct the nose into the desired bridge and shape.
If you are considering ‘lucky nose’ or nostril reduction, it is crucial to have a thorough consultation with a specialist to apply a customized design and procedure/surgery based on your individual nose condition and preferred design. Therefore, choosing a hospital with experienced specialists who have extensive experience in nose surgery is one way to enhance both treatment effectiveness and satisfaction.
