Hello, this is Dr. Choi Yo-an from Thank You Plastic Surgery
(Non-implant rhinoplasty) Why you need a nasal osteotomy
In the case of non-implant (nose jobs)
(Implants aren’t inserted inside the nose bridge) a basic higher nose bridge is needed
For Asians to have a high nose bridge
(What is nasal osteotomies?) The nosebone that is connected to the cheekbones is wide
So through the nasal osteotomies
we create a slimmer nose
By doing so, even without implants
You could get the result of high-nose bridge
(For your understanding) To give you an example of an actual patient
There is Kendall Jenner
I'm mentioning her because she is a very good example
When you look at the middle, there is a wide area
So through lateral (external) and medial (internal) osteotomies
I believe she adjusted the height of the nose as well
When you see from the front the nose has slimmed down
And the nose bridge looks much better
When it comes to noses, there are expectations regarding their appearance
Because there is a nose that the public deems average in Korea
So if one doesn't have that average nose
it would be perceived as having a unique look
Therefore, in order to have a pretty and handsome face as an Asian
noses are usually high and slim!
There are some men who have hooked noses
But it's rare to see good looking men with wide nose bone
(The bigger the cheekbone, the wider the nose bridge) Because the nose bone is connected to the cheekbones
(Asians have big cheekbones) The majority of Asians can’t achieve
A slim nose without an osteotomy
When you want a natural yet glamorous look
An osteotomy can be a good option
Would the osteotomy be obvious?
No one will know
But the difference between getting it done to not getting it done
As I showed you before
Is very big like this example I showed you
How does a nasal osteotomy work?
Nasal osteotomies in simpler terms
breaks down into two lateral (external) and medial (internal) osteotomies
What this means is
(The anatomy of the nose) The nose is in a triangle
It's a triangle like this
The lateral (external) osteotomy is done here
The part that we need to preserve is the tip of the nose
The triangle needs to be kept when performing the osteotomy
This is crucial. While preserving this
The lateral (external) osteotomy starts here and goes outward
Like the famous shoe brand
Connecting the line and the osteotomy is performed to here
While medial (internal) osteotomy starts here
and all the way to the exterior
These two parts are adjacent
so the inner bone won't fracture or collapse
I would say that osteotomy means
cutting in your preferred shape and creating a parallel line
lateral (external) and medial (internal) osteotomies are differentiated
but they both aim to make the nasal bone
symmetrical and slimmer
so I don't think the differentiation is necessary
How to successfully do a non-implant rhinoplasty
This is the ideal nose shape
Starting at the glabella and falling straight
but when low-bridge people choose to skip implanting
It goes like this, and only the nose tip is elevated
Then the bridge looks too flat
and a lot of people are unsatisfied with the resulting bridge shape
Since the nose is a combination of the nose bridge and tip
(Non-implant rhinoplasty osteotomy) the importance when it comes to nose bridge
is the nose width in the end
which is why osteotomy is important
(Is osteotomy very painful?) The biggest reason people are afraid of osteotomy
is that it's scary because it feels like breaking the bone
and that it will take a long time to recover
But the recovery period is not long with osteotomy
There is one downside though
There's a lot of bruising for about a week
That is a process that I can't help you with
But even with that since you'll need to
wear a splint for almost a week anyway
It won't be that noticeable
Also, osteotomies are not painful at all
There is no palpable pain
So don't be so afraid of osteotomies
You can get a lot out of osteotomy
and you can lower the chances of side effects
