Rhinoplasty at Cheongdam Station Plastic Surgery for Hooked Nose Correction, Rather Than Self-Correction

Hello. We are SNU Plastic Surgery Clinic, providing medical services near Cheongdam Station.

Our noses come in various shapes, and perceptions differ depending on how a third party views them. Nowadays, facial evaluations are set very high, so both men and women often evaluate the faces of those they meet for the first time, either in their minds or with acquaintances.

As a result, if someone's face is off-putting, people tend to avoid them, even if their personalities align well during conversation. The individuals themselves might wonder, ‘Why are they keeping their distance from me?’ but few truly understand the underlying issue.

So, when they hear from those around them that ‘changing your face is one way to go,’ they often ponder where and how to make changes. Among the entire face, the appearance of the eyes and nose significantly alters a third party's perception.

In today's society, where facial evaluations are so strict that it's almost considered lookism, many clients visit our clinic for nose surgery, regardless of gender.

Among them, a common type of nose shape that clients are desperate to improve is the hooked nose.

Hooked Nose

Many people come to improve their hooked nose not just for self-satisfaction but to create a good impression on others.

Among the various nose shapes, the hooked nose, which is considered to have the greatest aesthetic drawback, is named for its resemblance to a hawk's beak. Beyond that, any nose with a convex bridge, contrary to a 'beoseon' (Korean traditional sock) nose, is generally classified as a hooked nose.

In other words, a hooked nose is characterized by a protruding nasal bridge and a drooping nasal tip. While it is common among Westerners, it is also frequently seen in Korea, leading to a nearly equal ratio of men and women seeking to correct this issue.

For most areas where people seek plastic surgery, articles on the internet often describe self-treatment or self-correction methods.

However, these DIY methods are only temporary. The term ‘semi-permanent’ is not even applicable. The reason facilities like Cheongdam Station Plastic Surgery exist is to provide solutions that cannot be achieved through self-correction. In the case of a hooked nose, which is often present from childhood, self-correction is difficult.

Therefore, it is entirely up to the client to decide whether to undergo surgery after consulting with a facility like SNU Plastic Surgery Clinic to assess the condition of their hooked nose and understand the available options.

Hooked Nose Correction Methods

A hooked nose, which can give women a masculine look and men a rough impression, is categorized into severe and non-severe cases.

Severe cases require methods that involve fracturing the bone and gathering cartilage for correction. Since there are various types of symptoms, such as a drooping nasal tip resembling an arrow or only the nasal bone protruding, correction must be tailored to each individual from multiple angles.

For non-severe cases, the protruding cartilage is removed. This method is very simple but is typically performed when there is a certain degree of nasal bridge height. Since there is a possibility of recurrence, appropriate surgery should be considered based on individual differences.

SNU Plastic Surgery Clinic not only corrects the shape of the hooked nose but also considers the nasal bridge and the angle with the glabella.

In nose surgery, if only the nose shape is addressed without considering the angle from the glabella down to the nose, it can be difficult to achieve an ideal nose, even if the shape itself turns out well.

Therefore, our clinic strives to create a three-dimensional effect on the face through hooked nose surgery that elevates the entire nose, from the bridge to the tip. The nose is a very sensitive and aesthetically important area, so it is crucial to treat it custom to the overall facial structure.

SNU Plastic Surgery Clinic, which provides services near Cheongdam Station, typically takes about 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes for this procedure.

This duration is necessary because it is a delicate and sensitive area that requires careful handling. Even with anesthesia, clients might experience psychological fear, so we reduce this burden by using sleep anesthesia, allowing them to wake up to the results.

Those who haven't experienced it may not fully understand how the beauty of the entire face can be revitalized by the shape of the nose. However, most people who undergo nose surgery simply because their nose looks 'off' realize that their overall facial beauty has improved. SNU Plastic Surgery Clinic delivers these results.
