I have not been able to update the popular science content related to rhinoplasty online in a timely manner because I have been very busy recently. Because there have been too many beauty seekers coming to me for consultation and face-to-face consultations recently. I have discovered a problem: Many people have no idea about the aesthetic standards of the nose and the rhinoplasty. It's not clear what the structure is. So today I will give you some popular science based on this topic. First of all, we need to understand what the structure of the nose is.
Nasal bone:
The nasal bone is the hard bone from the top of the bridge of the nose to the root of the nose. If you touch it with your hands, it is hard and has strong support. Whether the nose bridge is high or not actually depends on how well the nasal bones are developed. The prosthesis we use for rhinoplasty is also placed on the bridge of the nose. Some people have wider nasal bones, or their noses are curved, or they have aquiline noses . This If the nose needs to be corrected, osteotomy and medial interpolation are required.
Nasal bone
Upper lateral cartilage:
The upper lateral cartilage is the section from the bottom of the bridge of the nose to the tip of the nose. We feel this soft bone with our hands, and it is supported by the nasal septum cartilage below.
Upper lateral cartilage:
Nasal septal cartilage:
Nasal septal cartilage is directly below the upper lateral cartilage. The cartilage in the middle of the nostrils on both sides is the nasal septal cartilage. However, most of the development of this cartilage in our East Asians is insufficient.
Nasal septum cartilage:
Nose cartilage:
Nose cartilage is also called butterfly cartilage. The key to whether the nose tip collapses or not depends on whether the support of these two pieces of cartilage is sufficient. If we want a delicate and straight nose, the first step is to straighten the cartilage of the nose alar. You should also understand after seeing this that the nose is a very complex structure. It is composed of a number of cartilages, nasal muscle groups and some soft tissues. It affects the whole body. You want the appearance of the nose to be beautiful. The degree of sophistication cannot be achieved simply by using L-shaped prostheses, so the technology of using L-shaped prostheses has been eliminated. Then there are the aesthetic standards of the nose. When plastic surgeons design surgical plans for everyone, they will also use this data to measure and guide the surgery.
Alar cartilage:
Front view:
The three courts and five eyes common to both East and West, that is, the width of the nose is approximately equal to the width of a single eye, accounting for 1/5 of the entire face width, and most Sometimes, our nose will be larger than 1/5. At this time, it is possible to reduce the nose. On the other hand, if the width of the nose is less than 1/5, it may be that the distance between the eyes is too wide. Draw a line from the tip of the eyebrow to the tip of the nose. Vertical line, ideally the nose should be bisected by this line. If it is a little crooked, you may need to correct the nasal septum. Viewed from the front, the nose alar on both sides should be symmetrical, and the outline of the nose alar rim and columella should look like a flying seagull, which is often referred to as the seagull line. If the seagull on the tip of your nose is gone and becomes an A-shape instead of an M-shape, then you most likely have an upturned nose and will need a nasal septum lengthening surgery to correct it.
Side view:
As for the side view, the doctor will evaluate the three-dimensionality of your nose from several angles.
Nasoforehead angle:
The angle between the back of the nose and the forehead is generally 120 to 140 degrees. If your angle is greater than 140 degrees, it means that the bridge of your nose is collapsed and you may need to lift it.
The nasolabial angle:
The nasolabial angle is the intersection angle from the tangent point of the nasal columella to the inferior nasal point and the superior lip point. The nasolabial angle is one of the most important indicators for judging the rotation and protrusion of the nasal tip. There are two factors that affect the nasolabial angle, one is the protrusion of the upper lip, and the other is the depression of the nasal base. If your nasolabial angle is less than 90 degrees, you may have a droopy nose tip or a hooked nose, which needs to be corrected by shortening the nose. On the contrary, if the angle is larger, it means that your nose is shorter, and it is most likely that the tip of the nose is severely retracted, resulting in an upturned nose. In this case, you should undergo nasal septum lengthening surgery.In addition, compared with Europeans and Americans, our upper lips are a little convex, which will cause our nose base to look a bit sunken. Some beauty seekers may think that they have a sunken nose base after reading some guides, and want to Do nasal base filling, but many doctors have different opinions on filling the nasal base. Some recommend orthodontics, while others are firm supporters of nasal base filling. Generally, they will recommend using autologous costal cartilage. Or use silicone to fill the nose base.
Nasolabial angle
Nose tip protrusion:
In fact, whether our nose is flat or not depends on our feeling. There are a series of criteria for judging it. Generally, if the protrusion of the nose tip is within the normal range, the doctor will not recommend it. Rhinoplasty, because a nose that is too upturned will look uncoordinated.
Tip of the nose
Speaking of the old path here, I personally suggest that those seeking beauty should design a rhinoplasty plan based on their own conditions so that the postoperative results will be natural and beautiful. Some doctors or consultants on the market simply believe that a tall nose is very important. Some even recommend rhinoplasty when some beauty seekers already have a high nose bridge. In fact, in this case, only the tip of the nose needs to be formed. , is it not good to correct the reduction of the tip of the nose?
Looking up:
The ideal nose when viewed from the head-up position should be an equilateral triangle formed by the alar edges on both sides and the nasal base in the middle. Then the ratio of the columella to the nasal lobules is 2:1, and the nostrils are A long axis, slightly lateral from the base of the nose, forming a teardrop shape. So, again, rhinoplasty is not simple at all and requires the doctor’s technical skills to be very precise.
In summary, that’s it. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message in the background or send me a private message. I will reply to you when I see it.
