Hello.
I am Takashi Nakao, Technical Instructor at BIANCA CLINIC and Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon by the Japan Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
An aquiline nose, characterized by a high bridge and a slight curve when viewed from the side.
The shape of the nose greatly influences the overall impression of the face, but did you know that the aquiline nose common among Japanese people has characteristics distinct from those of Westerners?
This time,The Basics of Eagle Nose CorrectionfromCharacteristics of a common type among Japanese people, andTreatment Approach for Achieving a Natural ProfileWe will introduce this using actual case examples.
What is rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty for a hooked nose smooths out the protrusion (hump) in the middle of the nasal bridge,Smoothly refine the profile lineThis is a reconstructive surgery aimed at achieving that purpose.
Traditionally, the "open roof method"—which involves shaving down protruding bone or cartilage—was the mainstream approach. However, the use of "preservation rhinoplasty" is now increasing. This method naturally lowers the entire structure while preserving the shape of the bone and cartilage.
The defining feature of this approach is
-
Shaping the nose through osteotomy of the nasal bone
-
Partially remove the nasal septal cartilage to create a smoother overall nasal contour.
through these two steps,The ability to reconstruct a natural nasal bridge while preserving height。
It also has the effect of making the entire bridge of the nose appear slimmer, making it suitable for those who want to avoid over-shaving and ending up with a flat appearance.
Characteristics of the Aquiline Nose Common Among Japanese People
The characteristic of the aquiline nose common among Japanese people is,The bridge of the nose is prominent while the space between the eyebrows is low.That is the point.
This type of nose can become unbalanced if only the hooked part is shaved down, resulting in a loss of height and a flat, unremarkable appearance.
That's why Bianca Clinic proposesCombining rhinoplasty for the glabella with hawk-nose correctionHere's how.

This case involved rhinoplasty combining nasal bone and hump reduction with augmentation of the glabella.
Following the procedure, the overall contour of the nose became smoother, and the protrusion was eliminated, resulting in a softer, more refined profile.
To achieve a natural look without lowering the height excessively, we proposed a design that prioritizes balance.
