If Wide Nostrils Are the Cause of Your Stress

The nose, which occupies the center of the face, greatly influences a person's impression depending on its shape.

Therefore, those who consider plastic surgery to achieve a sophisticated image and a more three-dimensional face prioritize changes to the nose. Indeed, changes to the nose, a central facial feature, often bring about a dramatic transformation in a person's image. However, once surgery is performed, revision surgery is not easy, and even if revision surgery is done, the problem may not be improved. Thus, it is best to be well-informed and minimize risks by proceeding carefully the first time.

A nose that is round and has wide nostrils is called a ‘bok-ko’ (lucky nose). In physiognomy, it is said to bring strong financial fortune. Looking deeper, if a woman has a ‘bok-ko’, she is said to have high self-esteem and strong independence. Among celebrities with this type of nose, we can mention Moon Geun-young, Hyeri, Hyoyeon, and Shin Min-a. While a round nose with wide nostrils is not problematic if it harmonizes with one's face, it can be difficult to achieve a sharper and more sophisticated impression. Indeed, looking at the mentioned female celebrities, one can see that they strongly exude a cute impression.

For ordinary people, a round nose can be a greater source of stress. Even if one upgrades their makeup skills to achieve a sophisticated image, it is difficult to modify the shape of a round nose located in the center. Therefore, people often resort to plastic surgery to change its shape.

Through nostril reduction, achieving a slender look can relieve the stress experienced until now.

The reason for a nose that appears fleshy is either an excessively developed alar cartilage at the tip of the nose compared to a typical nose, or it is spread out to the sides. The subcutaneous fat in the soft tissue at the nasal tip increases along the cartilage. In such cases, surgery involves incising the inside of the nose, cutting and removing or trimming the cartilage, then suturing and tying the left and right sides together. As the alar cartilage decreases in size and gathers towards the center, you can achieve the desired thin and prominent nose.

However, nostril reduction should not be performed excessively to create an overly thin and high nose. We must remember that each individual has a different facial structure, so it is best to aim for nostril reduction that harmonizes with other parts of one's face. Round noses also appear in various forms.

There are cases where the nasal tip is round and blunt, and cases where the nostrils are wide and the nasal tip is flat and spread out. There are also forms where the skin tissue and fat of the nostrils are thick, or where the width of the nasal tip is relatively wider than the width of the nose. Therefore, a surgical method suitable for each condition is required, and it is performed considering both the client's needs and overall balance.

To consider all these aspects, it is crucial to accurately identify the cause of the blunt nose. Diva Plastic Surgery conducts all consultations on a 1:1 basis to accurately identify the problem and deliver excellent results. By providing customized care from consultation, diagnosis, and surgery to post-operative management, we can focus more on identifying individual causes and providing treatment to increase the satisfaction of all who visit us.

When searching online, you can find many clinics that attract numerous clients and perform surgeries and procedures quickly. While one cannot say who is right or wrong, Diva Plastic Surgery believes that one-on-one care allows us to provide medical services that better satisfy our clients, and thus we place great importance on this aspect.

At Diva Plastic Surgery, all surgeries are personally performed by the head surgeon, limited to three patients per day. While it is possible to treat more people quickly, this policy is strictly adhered to for the safety and satisfaction of our clients. Furthermore, we use genuine products and precise quantities, and the head surgeon meticulously manages post-operative care to reduce the likelihood of complications.

Nostril reduction is a method that can significantly change one's image, but it is also a surgery with a possibility of various side effects. While all plastic surgeries have the potential for side effects, as it is located in the center of the face, its appearance is clearly visible, which can cause significant stress. Therefore, consultation and diagnosis before proceeding are important, and it is advisable to choose a hospital that also provides good post-operative care.

Typical side effects of nostril reduction include asymmetry, overcorrection, and deformation of the nostril shape.

Among these, asymmetry is one of the common problems, requiring delicacy as it involves matching the shapes of both sides identically. If your original shape was asymmetrical, it is possible to check this beforehand and achieve perfect symmetry after surgery, so it is good to confirm during consultation.

Overcorrection and nostril shape deformation are problems that arise from poor design. This usually depends on the experience and know-how of the surgeon, which is why it is important to meet a doctor with rich clinical experience.

At Diva Plastic Surgery, the head surgeon, who has extensive experience and know-how in nose surgery, directly performs nostril reduction. Furthermore, because we dedicate time and effort to each individual client, the probability of side effects due to mistakes can be significantly reduced. We also strive to minimize scars, which are often a major concern in plastic surgery, and help you regain natural beauty, so please keep this in mind.

Among nose surgeries, nostril reduction is a procedure that requires consideration of various aspects, from design to the overall line. We hope you understand your own strengths and weaknesses well, find a hospital that will work for you, minimize side effects, and achieve successful nostril reduction.

Diva Plastic Surgery supports everyone who strives for beauty.
