[Dragon Nose Surgery] Do your nostrils flare upward like a dragon? Correct it with Alar Rim Lowering!

Those with nostrils that flare upward may have heard that their nose looks like a ‘dragon nose’.

While the term ‘dragon nose’ is not a formal medical term, it refers to a type where the nostrils flare upward and are excessively visible from both the front and side views.

As the name suggests, it was named because it resembles the shape of a dragon’s nose.

So today, we are going to talk about Alar Rim Lowering, a surgical method that can correct the dragon nose type :)

Dr. Young-moon Yoo of VIBE Plastic Surgery uses his unique know-how in alar wing correction to improve excessively exposed nostrils and a wide nose shape.

A high nasal bridge alone doesn’t make a nose beautiful! If you have excessively exposed nostrils like a dragon nose, we recommend undergoing dragon nose correction through VIBE’s Alar Rim Lowering.

VIBE’s dragon nose surgery minimizes scarring by making incisions inside the nose. In cases of nostril asymmetry, we correct them to be symmetrical and create an ideal nose where the nostrils are not overly visible from any angle.

Not all dragon nose surgeries are performed the same way :) Even within the dragon nose category, there are types where the nostrils flare upward toward the inner side, the center, or the outer side, so it is important to proceed according to each specific case!

Therefore, it is essential to receive dragon nose surgery through consultation and surgery with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has extensive specialized knowledge and excellent skills in rhinoplasty!

Let’s find out if you have a dragon nose!

• When the alar wings are lifted, exposing the inside of the nose
• When the alar wings are asymmetrical
• When the nose looks ‘pinched’ after rhinoplasty
• When the nostrils appear lifted due to contracture after rhinoplasty
• When the center of the nostril is highly elevated, making it look like a snub nose

If several of these five items apply to you, please consider dragon nose surgery.

From low noses and bulbous noses to hawk noses and long noses, we see many patients visiting VIBE with various nose concerns. Among them, many people with the ‘dragon nose’ type discussed today also visit us.

The images above show patients who actually received dragon nose correction at our clinic! Since they leave with high satisfaction after correction through Alar Rim Lowering, we hope you too can achieve a more ideal nose through this procedure :)

While researching dragon nose surgery, you may have various concerns. Two of the most common questions are:

‘Will the tip of the nose become blunt after Alar Rim Lowering?’ and ‘Will the shape of the nose tip change or the nostrils become visible again over time?’

Please refer to the answers provided above for these concerns!
