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.
