What Is the Diamond Nose Tip?

Nasal tip diamond (designing a tip structure defined by facets and light)

The "diamond nose tip" is not a catchy name;
it is a concept drawn from actual aesthetic and anatomical principles of plastic surgery.

The tip is not about height, but angle and structure

The tip is not a single point.
The three-dimensional angle created by the many facets that catch the light, and their balance, determine the impression of the nose.

SH designs the angles of the tip like a diamond.

We approach tip surgery not as surgery that simply "raises" the tip, but
as surgery that recreates the conditions in which facets can form.
Dr. Seonghun Kim, SH Chief Director

Diamond Tip Angle

The Diamond Nose Tip Concept

It means that the structure of the tip
"is divided into facets," like a diamond.

  • When the arrangement of facets created by the cartilage is divided like a diamond,
  • and the skin covers that structure precisely,
  • light separates across those facets.

This is what we call the "nasal tip diamond."

On a round ball, light gathers at one point, but on a faceted gem, light reflects differently from each facet.

On a round tip, light gathers at only one point; a diamond tip looks defined and three-dimensional because light is divided and reflected by each facet.

SH's Approach to Facial Structure

Leonardo da Vinci's
structural analysis
SH's tip surgery

To draw a beautiful face, Leonardo da Vinci
did not simply trace its outline.
He divided the face by reference points and analyzed the role of each position.

In SH's tip surgery,
the tip is something to design, not something to "raise."

※ Results of surgery or procedures vary from person to person.

SH Nasal Tip Surgery

The tip is not about shape; it is

  • Support
  • Angle
  • Force distribution

the result of their structure

The tip right after surgery lasts only a moment.
A tip that holds up years later has a different structure.

SH's tip surgery does not create an outward shape; it first designs

as a structural surgery.
That is why time proves the results.

Types of Autologous Tissue

SH's diamond nose tip uses autologous tissue.
With a low risk of rejection, it creates a natural, stable tip structure that stays natural over time.

  1. 01

    Ear cartilage (Ear Cartilage)

    Cartilage that shapes the tip naturally

  2. 02

    Septal cartilage (Septal Cartilage)

    The central supporting cartilage inside the nose

  3. 03

    Rib cartilage (Rib Cartilage)

    Cartilage used when strong support is needed

  4. 04

    Autologous dermis (Dermal Tissue)

    Tissue that adds volume and a cushioning layer beneath the skin

SH Plastic Surgery's Surgical Principles

Plastic surgery is not simply a technique for changing appearance;
it is medicine that understands the structure and balance of the face.

For natural and stable results, SH Plastic Surgery performs surgery
based on the following principles.

1

We analyze structure first

The eyes, nose and face are not independent structures; they influence each other to form your impression.

SH Plastic Surgery does not look only at the shape of the eyes or nose; we analyze

  • Eyeball position
  • Brow bone structure
  • Facial skeleton
  • Tissue balance

to understand the facial structure first.

2

We value balance over excessive change

The goal of plastic surgery is not to change the face excessively
but to improve its overall balance.

SH Plastic Surgery considers facial proportions and harmony
to pursue natural and stable change.

3

Surgery begins with design

Good results are not suddenly created in the operating room.
We create a design suited to your facial structure through accurate analysis, and the surgery is performed based on that design.

SH Plastic Surgery performs design-based surgery grounded in structural analysis.

4

We consider long-term stability

Results should look natural not only right after surgery but also as time passes.

SH Plastic Surgery chooses the surgical method
with tissue stability and long-term change in mind.

5

Patient safety comes first

The most important thing in plastic surgery is patient safety.

  • A dedicated, accountable medical team
  • Surgeon name disclosure in the operating room
  • Systematic management of the surgical environment

These measures keep the surgical environment safe.

SH PHILOSOPHY

Natural beauty
begins with structure and balance

SH Plastic Surgery designs change based on an understanding of facial structure,
not a simple change in appearance.

The change that suits each patient most naturally:
that is SH Plastic Surgery's standard for plastic surgery

SH Precision Diagnosis System

Diagnosis that analyzes even hidden causes makes the difference in results.
Before surgery, SH Plastic Surgery goes beyond a simple assessment of appearance, using a precise diagnosis that considers function · structure · internal condition
to reduce unnecessary surgery and lower the likelihood of revision.

Precise endoscopic diagnosis

Before surgery, endoscopy accurately diagnoses rhinitis, congenital nasal cavity deformities, sinusitis, nasal valve problems and other
internal structures that cannot be seen with the naked eye

Functional problems are identified in advance to plan surgery that considers both aesthetics and function
Accurate diagnosis is what makes results last.
