What kind of nose is considered as the most beautiful nose?

The most beautiful nose is the most harmonious nose with your face.

Because the shape of the nose is prominently different between races and individuals, its arrangement, contour of the face, structuring effect and the shape of the nose can greatly influence the face's appearance. 
In general, a Westerner's nose is high and narrow in width while Asians have a flat and wide nose. 
Korean's generally have an oval nose which widens coming down below the bridge.
Although one might have a high and sharp nose, we cannot consider it sophisticated if the overall face is not balanced. 'An ideal nose' can be rated according to the proportion of the nose to the face listed below:



●Starting Point: Between the eyelashes and the line of double eyelids.Generally many believe it ideal to have the bridge of the nose start at base of the double eyelids; this will make the nose look artificial for Asians so it is more natural looking to have it start at the eyelashes.



●Side profile
We consider it idealistic for a nose to lift upward at the tip of the nose for women and neat and straight for men. However, it is necessary personalize the adjustments according to the face shape and the distance between one's eyes. Recently, it has become more diversified to personalize to a person's face than following the previous standard whether this might be a straight or moderately lifted nose.


●An angle where the columella nasi (pillar of the nose) and philtrum (structure that forms the upper lip and nose) meet (nasolabial angle)
Over 90-95˚(Over 100˚ for Westerner)
An angle between the line of the nose and the forehead: 135-140˚

JW Personalized Blepharoplasty got the answer!
So now, lets take a look what kind of blepharoplasty procedures JW has.

Basically blepharoplasty procedures are
*You can click those name of procedures if you need more information.


  • Double eyelid surgery
Double eyelid surgery itself has 3 types of method which are non-incision, partial incision and incision method.


▶Non-incision method
A non-incision method is used to connect the muscle and inner skin of the eyelid to create new crease. It is more suitable for those in their teens or twenties who have tighter skin. For those who have thicker skin or a greater fat layer, incision was preferred because the creases might not hold, but recently with surgical advancement non-incision methods are also being used. In the case drooping or falling of the eyelid, sometimes referred to as "lazy eye", blepharoplasty surgery must be done in conjunction with ptosis correction.

 ▶Partial incision method
Partial incision is a method to remedy of the two method's shortcomings. This procedure requires an incision 5mm on the inner and outer eyelid creating the double eyelid and then stitching up the incisions. The method is recommended for those who have strong orbicularis oculi muscles or thick eyelids and their creases can become undone. The surgery is usually scar-less and the swelling period is relatively short. However, this procedure is not applicable for those who have sagging eyelids.

 ▶Incision method
Incision requires a cut on the line of the eyelid and removing a required amount of tissue (skin, muscle, fat, connective tissue) while connecting the dermis to the tarsi allowing the cicatrix(scar) between the two tissues to make a deep and natural double eyelid. Patients with sagging skin, thick muscles or fat layers, incision is highly recommended. The possibility of the double eyelid becoming undone is smaller than the non-incision surgery because the stitches would be tighter allowing for them to last longer. Swelling will last longer and a longer period of time is required for a more natural look.

☞Types of Double Eyelids according to shape 


Infold 
Double eyelids that starts inside of the eye are the most appropriate type for those who do not have serious an epicanthic fold. Creases of the eyelids are not seen in the inner corner and the size and height of the creases are small. The shape of the crease increases from the center to the outside of the eyelids.



Outfold 
This type, is commonly seen amongst Westerners can look a bit awkward and unfamiliar among Asians. For those who do not have an epicanthic fold or for those whose crease of the double eyelid starts outside of the epicanthic fold. The crease can be seen throughout the eye and this allows the eyes to look bigger.




In-Outfold 
This is between an in-fold and out-folds of the eye and is suitable for those whose eyes are generally bigger than others. It can make your eyes look well-defined and attractive.




  • Non-incision and Incision ptosis correction
Was the above information helpful to understand more about double eyelid surgery?
Then, lets take take a look what ptosis correction is.

▶Non-incision ptosis correction
To perform ptosis correction, the orbicularis oculi (eye opening muscle) needs to be adjusted.
Ptosis correction was only performed by an incision in the past because the orbicularis oculi lie in the deepest part of the eye and excess tissue must be remove along the way.
▶Surgery Method
Because the muscles control many elements, it is important that the shape of the creases fall smoothly when the eyes are opened.






The eye-opening muscles are connected through the conjunctiva with a special suturing thread by making tiny holes under the crease of the eyelid and pulling the muscles and tarsus together.











▶Advantages of JW non-incision ptosis correction
  1. There is usually no scar due to the size of the incision.
  2. It is a fast recovery with little swelling because little or no damage is done on the tissue.
  3. Surgery itself is very short.
  4. Restoring the eyelid back to its original state is easily done by unbinding the buried suture.
▶Who are the suitable candidate for this procedure?
  1. People whose ptosis is not very severe
  2. People who want to have ptosis correction with little inconvenience to daily life
  3. People who want larger eyes without an incision

[Lesson 1] How to take care after the Double Eyelid Surgery by JW Plastic Surgery Korea

On the Afternoon and Evening of Surgery
by JW Plastic Surgery Korea

• After Eyelid Surgery from JW Plastic Surgery Korea You should rest as much as possible, preferably in bed on two pillows or in a recliner.  A bandage over the eyes is not needed.  In the evening, you may take a bath if someone is there to help you.  Avoid straining or bending over.  Watching television is acceptable.

•  To prevent swelling after Eyelid surgery, apply clean (not sterile) cold compresses to the eyelids as much as possible until you go to sleep.  Gauze pads or a clean towel may be soaked in a basin of ice cubes and applied directly.  Alternatively, a large Ziploc bag may be partially filled with ice cubes or frozen baby peas and placed over a moist gauze or towel.

•  Pain after Eyelid surgery is usually mild.  Use pain medicine you were given from JW Plastic Surgery Korea. Avoid using aspirin or ibuprofen for two days.  Severe pain should be reported.

•  It is normal for the eyelids to become red, swollen, and bruised after the Eyelid Surgery.  A small amount of bloody fluid draining from the wound is normal for a few days.  Occasionally, the eye itself may turn red and swell.  Brisk bleeding not responsive to pressure should be reported.

•  The eyelid creases will always look too high, too deep, overly rounded, and asymmetrical until swelling resolves and the deep tissues have a chance to soften. The eyelashes may appear to be pointed unnaturally upward.

•  If you were given an antibiotic drop or ointment from JW Plastic Surgery Korea, gently apply a small amount to any stitches before going to bed, and then twice a day thereafter.  If your eyes feel irritated, the antibiotic may be applied directly to the eye surface. Avoid the use of dry Q-tips on any stitches.


Beginning the Next Morning

•  Swelling is usually at its maximum on the morning after surgery; bruising may increase slightly for several more days. Until stitches are removed, do not expect to see any changes in the crease.

•  Discontinue the cold and begin warm compresses (gauze or a clean washcloth) for several minutes 3-4 times a day.  A microwave may be used to heat a moistened washcloth (be careful not to overheat) that we gave eyepatch from JW Plastic Surgery Korea after the Eyelid Surgery

•  Moderate activity may be resumed, although much bending and straining should be avoided for three days.  Moderate exercise (brisk walking) may be resumed in three days.  Avoid vigorous exercise (jogging) for ten days and swimming for at least two weeks. Sun exposure will not harm the surgery.

•  Reading or computer work may be difficult due to swelling and some slight blurring of your vision, but such activities are not harmful to your surgery.

•  Keep the incisions clean by gently cleansing with a clean washcloth or gauze.  If water alone is not sufficient, a solution of 3% hydrogen peroxide diluted half and half with water may be used.  If bleeding is activated, apply pressure.

•  You may shower and wash your hair, but try to avoid getting soap in the incision.

Later Instructions and Information

•  It is not unusual for a few of the sutures to untie or break after several days.  As long as the incision remains closed, this is no cause for alarm.

• Try to limit your salt intake as this may increase swelling.

•  Stitches are removed 7 to 9 days after surgery.

•  After the sutures are removed, use the antibiotic that evening at bedtime and then discontinue.  Warm compresses should be used at least once a day (and more if you wish) for three or four more days. Because the incision is fragile, be careful not to clean or pull on the wound for several days after the stitches have been removed.

•  It is not unusual for the eyelids not to close fully during the first three weeks after surgery.  During the day, the use of any over-the-counter artificial tear preparation may feel soothing.

•  After five days, the light application of a concealer make-up to the upper cheek area may help to camouflage any bruising.  Do not apply directly to the upper eyelids.  Regular eyelid cosmetics may be resumed after 10 days. Use of an eyelid moisturizing cream may feel soothing. Do not apply Vitamin E oil. Special scar-reducing preparations (gels, strips) are of no value in double eyelid surgery.

•  Most people look the worst on the third day, after which improvement begins slowly.  Most bruising and swelling are gone by two to three weeks, although a small amount of swelling (20%) will remain behind for a much longer period. The crease will vary day to day and only gradually assume its approximate final position over four months or more, so try to be patient. Final healing (the last 5-10%) is a much longer process and may take several years.

•  Contact lens wear may be resumed in 2 Weeks.

•  The incision will turn red, slightly elevated, or bumpy in the weeks following surgery.  The scar will then continue to fade and soften for a very long time.

•  The incision may feel slightly tender for a few months. Itching is common.  Any tight feeling or eyelash numbness will disappear over several months.

•  Do not try to evaluate the success of your surgery during your early recovery
