Nasolabial Angle Rhinoplasty

Nasolabial Angle Correction

What Is Nasolabial Angle Surgery?

SH Plastic Surgery

It is the angle running down from the columella to the philtrum,
a factor that affects the definition and dimension of the facial profile and how much the mouth protrudes.

More important than nose height is the angle and connection between the tip and the lips.

SH views the face as a single sculpture
and finds the most natural, balanced proportions
within the flow of nose–philtrum–lips.

Change the angle, and the impression changes.
The nasolabial angle is the final detail that completes your profile.

SH Detail

SH Nasolabial Angle Rhinoplasty

  • Determining nasal balance: the tip and nasolabial angle are adjusted in harmony so the whole nose line flows naturally and completes facial balance.
  • A natural tip: a moderate angle and volume create a refined tip that does not look artificial.
  • Customized nasolabial angle design: a nasolabial angle and tip designed for your facial proportions create your most ideal profile

The difference in a beautiful nose is in the details

SH's Approach to Facial Structure

Leonardo da Vinci's
structural analysis
SH's nasolabial angle rhinoplasty

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.

SH's nasolabial angle rhinoplasty
is not a simple angle adjustment; it analyzes structure and proportion
and considers the harmony of the nasolabial angle, tip and philtrum angle to complete the profile

Nasolabial angle

What determines the quality

  • Compensates for philtrum length
  • Improved midface proportions
  • Improved look of a short nose · long nose · protruding mouth
  • A harmonious nose line from the front and side

SH Nasolabial Angle Proportion Design

The nasolabial angle is the angle of the "columella" between the tip and the philtrum,
a key factor that determines nasal balance and facial harmony.

SH considers face length, nasal structure, the nasolabial angle and its support structure,
and with a natural nasolabial angle design

creates a balance of nose and lip lines that looks beautiful from any angle.

Surgical Methods by Nasolabial Angle Type

01

Narrow nasolabial angle + protruding mouth

  • Softens a protruding or duck-like mouth

A narrow nasolabial angle makes the tip look droopy,
the mouth look protruding and the face lack dimension.

SH Solution

Widening the nasolabial angle + tip structure correction

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.
