WHY?
Why Golden Diamant nostril lowering?

  • 01

    A surgical method that lowers the position
    of the soft tissue around the nostrils
    to reduce their exposure from the front and
    make the overall impression softer
    and more refined!

  • 02

    With over 20 years of surgical
    know-how from Dr. Song Sang-hoon,
    board-certified plastic surgeon,
    the surgical method is varied
    to suit each nose, with an
    individually tailored design

  • 03

    One-to-one tailored consultation
    for fundamental improvement that considers
    the structural balance of the face
    and for natural, harmonious proportions

A refined nostril shape suited to your facial features!

As explained by a board-certified plastic surgeon

What are ideal nostrils?

Front diagram of the nose and philtrum — white vertical lines at either side of the nostrils and at the centre of the nose divide the width into three "1/5" sections; the nasal tip is marked "TIP OF NOSE" and the point below the nose "BOTTOM OF NOSE". The red line joining the two points opens at "10~15°", and the height difference to the right nostril wing is marked "2mm"

Seen from the front, the ideal is for the width of the nostril wings to be about 1/5 of the whole face,
with the point below the nose and the alae coming down about 2 mm
and forming an angle of about 10–15 degrees.

In harmony with the proportions of the whole face

The 3 POINTS of Golden Diamant nose surgery

POINT 1 – one-to-one custom nostril lowering

With a custom chart analysing the strengths and weaknesses of the nostrils,
a surgical method suited to the characteristics of the nose is chosen
to help you to nostril lowering in harmony with your face.

POINT 2 – natural nostril lowering that considers facial balance

Rather than forcing the nostrils smaller or lower, we consider the overall balance,
including facial balance and the shape of the philtrum,
to create natural nostrils.

POINT 3 – custom aftercare

With a systematic aftercare system including custom care and scar treatment,
we encourage rapid recovery after surgery and deliver more satisfying results
with less scarring.

Because facial proportions and nose shapes differ from person to person, through custom consultation
we consider the shape of the whole nose and its harmony with the face
to create refined alae at the most ideal proportion.

The Golden Diamant nostril lowering method that suits you

The medial type

Front diagram of the nose and mouth — a black vertical line down the centre of the nose, short vertical dotted lines at either side of the nostrils, and a red V-shaped line opening widely upward from the centre beneath the nose marking the correction area of the medial type

In the case of the medial type,

Where the notching of the nostril is not severe,
the nasal tip cartilage is moved downward and fixed.

The central type

Front diagram of the nose and mouth — a black vertical line down the centre of the nose, short vertical dotted lines at the outer edges of the nostrils, and a red V-shaped line opening narrowly upward from the centre beneath the nose marking the correction area of the central type

In the case of the central type,

Autologous cartilage such as septal or ear cartilage
is grafted beneath the nasal tip cartilage for correction.

The lateral type

Front diagram of the nose and mouth — a black vertical line down the centre of the nose, short vertical dotted lines at the outer edges of the nostrils, and a red V-shaped line opening shallowly from the centre beneath the nose to the outside of the nostril wings, marking the correction area of the lateral type

In the case of the lateral type,

In cases of severe nostril retraction, ear cartilage and skin are used to
A composite cartilage graft is performed to meticulously make the correction.

*Side effects such as bleeding / swelling / scarring may occur
*However, whether side effects occur may differ from person to person, and recovery times may vary.

1:1 Consultation (new window)

Golden Diamant stays with you through recovery

Golden Diamant continues to monitor your recovery even after surgery or a procedure is finished.

Where the medical team judges that scar care is needed because of an incision or tissue harvesting, a scar care programme using Fraxel laser and scar-reducing medication is provided up to three times at no additional cost, according to the state of recovery.

If a scar remains after basic care or further treatment is needed, the medical team checks the condition in person and advises on the care required from among more than six lasers, more than four medications and stem cell treatment.

We do not stop at the surgery or procedure; we check the course of recovery carefully and continue the care that is needed.
