Hanging Nose Correction in Korea

01 — Overview

Hanging Nose Correction

Hanging nose correction lifts a drooping or down-pointing tip, refining the angle between nose and lip for a fresher, more balanced profile.

A hanging or drooping tip can make the nose look longer and the expression heavier, sometimes worsening when smiling. Correction repositions and supports the tip cartilage to lift the tip to a natural angle, and can release the muscle that pulls the tip down. The result is a lighter, more balanced profile.

02 — Approaches

Approaches we offer

The most suitable approach depends on your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. During your consultation, your surgeon will recommend the best option for you.

Tip Lift & Support — Tip cartilage is repositioned and supported with grafts to hold a natural angle.
Depressor Muscle Release — Releasing the muscle that pulls the tip down, helpful when the droop worsens on smiling.
Cartilage Graft — Added support maintains the lifted position long-term.
Combined Refinement — Paired with bridge or projection work for full balance.

07 — FAQ

Common questions

Why does my tip droop when I smile?

A muscle can pull the tip downward on smiling. Releasing it, along with tip support, addresses this specifically.

Will lifting the tip make my nose look shorter?

It creates a more balanced nose-to-lip angle, making an over-long appearance look lighter and fresher.

Is it permanent?

Cartilage support holds the lifted position long-term for a lasting result.

How long is recovery?

Splint removal around day 7; most return to daily life within 1–2 weeks.
