\'I’m concerned that my round nose tip
makes my face look wider.\'
That was the concern shared by a patient
who visited our clinic for nose tip surgery.
Because the nose tip draws attention
from both the front and side profile,
even subtle changes can create
a significant difference in appearance.
In this post,
we’ll look at a real nose tip surgery case
and explore the process and results.
"Why is nose tip surgery
considered difficult?"
The lower lateral cartilage sits directly beneath the skin
and determines the nose tip’s shape,
thickness, strength, and symmetry.
The challenge is that every individual differs in:
• Cartilage thickness
• Cartilage shape
• Septal cartilage strength
• Skin thickness at the nasal tip
• Amount of soft tissue and fat
At LUHO,
we carefully analyze each person’s characteristics
to create a customized design
that harmonizes with the face.
*The photos were taken and published with patient consent,
and results and recovery may vary by individual.
"Before surgery"
• Rounded nose tip creating a wider facial impression
• Slight drooping appearance due to weak tip support
• Lack of definition around the nasal tip contour
Although the nose itself was not particularly low,
the weak support of the nasal tip
made the overall facial impression appear less defined.
The surgical goal was to strengthen tip support
and create a more refined nasal shape.
"When should nose tip surgery
be considered?"
Because even small adjustments to the nose tip
can significantly affect facial appearance,
accurate diagnosis is extremely important.
At LUHO Plastic Surgery,
we conduct detailed consultations
based on 3D-CT analysis to design a nose tip shape
that best suits each individual’s face.
*The photos were taken and published with patient consent,
and results and recovery may vary by individual.
"Changes after Sinsa nose tip surgery"
• The previously drooping nose tip appears more defined
• The wider-looking tip became slimmer and more refined
• Natural-looking contours maintained without an artificial appearance
As the nasal bridge and tip connected more smoothly,
the side profile became noticeably more balanced.
With improved tip definition,
the center of the face appears clearer and more structured.
At LUHO Plastic Surgery,
we consider not only the height of the nose tip,
but also:
• Nose tip length and width
• Nostril shape
• Harmony with the glabella area
Even the same nose tip height
can create very different impressions
depending on facial shape.
That’s why every procedure
is individually customized.
If you are considering Sinsa nose tip surgery,
we recommend receiving a detailed consultation
focused on facial harmony and structural balance.
