APEX Long / Droopy Nose We correct the length of a long, downward-drooping nose to match your facial proportions, creating a balanced nasal line. Lift the drooping nose for a more harmonious impression! The most ideal proportion is 1:1:1 between the height of the forehead, the eyebrows to the nasal tip, and the philtrum to the chin; when the nose is longer than this proportion, or the nasolabial angle from the nasal tip to the lips is small, the nose can look long. This can give a sharp impression that lacks softness. Surgery for a long or droopy nose uses a detailed design that takes the shape, length and height of the nasal tip into account, raising the alar cartilage and reducing the drooping septum to create a balanced, harmonious nasal line. Change a long, drooping nose from a sharp impression to a soft and balanced one! Shorten the long nose and restore facial balance!

Prologue

The most ideal proportion is 1:1:1 between the height of the forehead, the brow to the nasal tip, and the philtrum to the chin; if the nose is longer than this ratio, or if the nasolabial angle from the tip to the lip is small, the nose can look long. This can give a sharp impression that lacks softness.
Long / droopy nose surgery uses a careful design that considers the shape, length and height of the tip, elevating the alar cartilage and reducing the drooping septum to create a balanced, harmonious nose line.
