As a plastic surgeon, I have gained extensive experience through numerous cases, cultivating precise techniques and a deep understanding of anatomy. Currently, I combine plastic surgery expertise with the latest techniques to provide aesthetic medicine addressing aging concerns like skin, contours, and sagging. "Natural beauty" isn't about doing nothing and leaving it to chance; it lies beyond the will to choose how you want to be. My experience as an idol during medical school made me realize the power appearance holds over the heart, and I focus on supporting patients in achieving "days where they can like themselves more." I also offer consultations in English and prioritize creating a comfortable environment for open discussion.

Hello, everyone!

Dr. Alice, a board-certified plastic surgeon.

 

Pascal, who was both a great mathematician and philosopher, said this:

If Cleopatra’s nose had been shorter, the whole face of the earth would have been changed.”

If Cleopatra's nose had been a little shorter, the history of the world might have been different.

This phrase carries a profound meaning: that even human destiny and history can change due to the slightest difference in appearance.

In other words,A single part can sometimes determine a person's impression or even their life.That's the thing.

And the quintessential example of that “single part” is, after all, the nose.

The nose is positioned right in the center of the face, serving as the key element for three-dimensionality, dignity, and balance.

Just a slight change can dramatically refine your entire facial impression, making you feel "somehow more refined" or "more polished."

What are the criteria for a beautiful nose?

So, what exactly is a beautiful and elegant nose?

Actually, there are several simple metrics anyone can check right now.

Pick up the mirror and let's check together.

(The following isProfileThe key is to check it!

💎1. E-Line (Aesthetic Line)

It refers to the straight line connecting the tip of the nose and the tip of the chin.

For Japanese people, the ideal position is for the lips to lightly touch this line or be slightly inside it.

When this E-line is well-defined, not only does the profile appear beautiful, but the entire face takes on a sleek, refined impression.

Conversely, if the lips protrude too much, it can make the mouth area appear bulky.

By raising the nose just a little,A well-balanced, elegant profilecan create.

💎2. nasolabial angle

The angle formed by the columella (the central part under the nose) and the philtrum (the groove connecting the nose and the upper lip).

The ideal is90 to 100 degrees

This angle is beautiful, creating an aura of "elegance" and "kindness" in the profile.

A slight difference in angle can drastically change the impression,

The slightly upturned tip of the nose gives a feminine impression from any angle.

💎3. nasal bridge line

Does the area from the base of the nose to the tip form a smooth, natural curve?

If this line is too straight, it tends to look too sharp and give a cold impression.

Conversely, when there is a gentle curve,A gentle and refined femininitybrings out the best in.

"Ideal" and "authentic self" are two different things.

How did you find it after checking this far?

Some of you might be thinking, "It turned out better than I expected!" while others might be feeling, "I wish it could be just a little bit more like this."

What's important is that this isn't the “absolute right answer.”

If you like your nose the way it is now, that's what matters most.

If you're thinking, "Just a little higher," or "I want it to look a little more natural,"hyaluronic acid injectionis the most convenient option to fulfill that wish.

Why Hyaluronic Acid Injections for the Nose Are Chosen

  • I can't bring myself to get nose surgery because the downtime is so long.

  • The cost is high, so I'm hesitating.

  • First, I'd like to try it out to see if it suits my face.

  • If I don't like it, I want to revert it back.

Hyaluronic acid injections are perfect for those who are looking for such a solution.

No scalpel required; the procedure takes only about 10 to 15 minutes.

By adjusting the type of hyaluronic acid used and the injection site,

We can design "not too high" and "natural, elegant lines."

Additionally, since it is absorbed over time, corrections are possible.

Rather than expecting sudden, drastic changes,“A little more refined than now” beautyIt is especially suited for those aiming to achieve this.

 

I want to make my nose tip higher.But, hyaluronic acid injections in this areaThe skin becomes necrotic.If you're worried after hearing scary stories like that, rest assured.

There is an injection method that can slightly lift and refine the tip of the nose, giving it a perky, upturned appearance, without injecting into the nasal tip—an area at high risk for skin necrosis due to vascular occlusion.

that was published in recent yearsInjection into the membranous nasal septumis.

This tissue acts as a foundation supporting the tip of the nose. By injecting an appropriate amount of hyaluronic acid here, the idea is to lift the entire foundation upward.

If injected at the correct location, it can avoid hazardous areas, reduce risks, and achieve sufficient effectiveness.

Physicians capable of performing this treatment possess extensive knowledge and technical skills.

 

Beauty comes from "effortless harmony."

In modern aesthetic medicine, “natural harmony” is the mainstream rather than “dramatic change.”

Rather than emphasizing one specific area, it's more important for the whole to appear well-balanced.

It leads to true "elegant beauty."

Hyaluronic acid for the nose is the ultimate tool for fine-tuning its balance.

Just 1cc of hyaluronic acid could change your expression, your aura, and your life.

To the Second Cleopatra

Like Cleopatra, even women whose charm could move an era may have started with a small "awareness of beauty."

That small step you take today might just change your own future “history.”

Hyaluronic acid injections in the nose,

Subtly elegant, yet undeniably beautiful.

At BIANCA, we await the next Cleopatra.
