It's not just the uneven eyes that stress

people out. It seems that more and more people

are insecure about their uneven nostrils these days. 

 

So today, we will discuss

how to address such issues and

further explore what an

ideal nostril looks like.

 

 


What is Nostril Surgery?

 

The nostrils, being the focal point

of the face, can become a source of

complex if they are flared, droopy,

asymmetric, or excessively large.

 

In such cases, it’s advisable to undergo

surgery to correct the nostrils

to their proper position.


GNG Nostril Surgery tailors the 

procedure based on factors like facial
balance, skin elasticity, and the size
and strength of cartilage
to achieve an ideal nose shape.




Can Nostril Surgery 
Be Done Alone?

If the nose height and tip shape
are appropriate but the nostrils
appear wide or excessively large,
it is possible to resolve the issue
with just nostril reduction surgery.

However, in most cases,
because the nostrils are accompanied
by a lower nose, it is common to perform
procedures on the nostrils, nose tip, 
and bridge at the same time.



GNG Nostril Surgery Procedure

 

GNG conducts a meticulous examination

before surgery to thoroughly assess

the condition and then proposes a

correction solution that aligns with

the individual’s facial features

to reshape the nostrils.

 







Why Choose GNG Nostril Surgery?

 

Point 1

High-end surgery experience
by skilled specialists, providing
satisfactory results

Asymmetrical nostrils or those with
unattractive proportions can be
caused by various factors,
including the size of wing cartilage,
skin elasticity, cartilage strength,
and post-surgical complications
(like contracture).

Given the variety of causes,
standard surgical procedures may
not yield the desired effects.

GNG Hospital is capable of carrying
out all surgeries tailored to each cause.

Additionally, nostril surgery often
involves complex and challenging
techniques, such as cartilage grafts,
skin grafts, or skin removal, making
each method high in difficulty.

GNG is staffed by ENT specialists
with extensive surgical experience
and knowledge of nasal anatomy,
applying precise diagnostics to provide
effective surgical methods for
the best results.



Point 2

Beautiful from any angle-frontal,

side, or beneath

When viewed from the side,
the ideal nostril shape is an oval
approximately 2mm wide, while
from below, it should resemble
an isosceles triangle for symmetry.

After a precise diagnosis and planning,
the surgery is conducted to find
the most aesthetically pleasing proportions
that harmonize with the individual’s features,
ensuring a nose that stands out
beautifully from any angle.


Point 3
Scar prevention

Most nostril surgeries are performed
through incisions made inside the nose,
making scars nearly invisible
to the naked eye.

If an external incision is required,
careful suturing is essential
to avoid leaving visible scars.

Scars form when the tissue
at the incision site does not heal
properly and merges irregularly.

GNG employs meticulous and careful
suturing techniques to prevent
severe scarring

I undergo surgery?

no significant issues.
