Protruding Mouth Rhinoplasty and the Nasolabial Angle

​

​

A protruding mouth refers to a condition where the mouth, compared to the general facial profile,

protrudes forward in relation to the nose and jawline.

Because a protruding mouth can make it difficult to close the lips properly and causes aesthetic concerns, many people consider double jaw surgery

or orthodontic treatment.

​

However, orthodontics takes a long time, making it difficult to see quick results.

In the case of double jaw surgery, the high level of difficulty, cost, pain, and recovery period make it a difficult choice to make readily.

​

When viewed from the side, a protruding mouth makes the nose look relatively

lower. The narrow nasolabial angle can also make the philtrum look pinched, creating an awkward and unsophisticated appearance.

While this can be improved with rhinoplasty, simply performing a standard nose surgery may not yield high satisfaction.

​

For a protruding mouth, it is most important to perform the surgery taking the nasolabial angle into consideration.

​

The nasolabial angle refers to the angle formed between the columella of the nose and the philtrum.

Correcting this area to suit your facial shape creates the effect of the mouth looking more recessed.

​

One of the most frequently asked questions is why the columella needs to be extended.

When the columella is appropriately extended, the nasolabial angle widens, improving the protruding mouth and giving the face a more three-dimensional look.

​

​

Ideal Nose Proportions

Nose proportions can be discussed from various angles.

When dividing the face into the upper, middle, and lower face, the ratio is 1 : 1 : 0.8.

The ratio of the outer eye : horizontal eye length : horizontal nose length (alar width) is 1 : 1 : 1.

When viewed from the side, the forehead-to-nose angle is about 130-140 degrees, and the nasolabial angle is about 95-100 degrees.

​

Of course, because everyone's face is different, it is difficult to have absolutely perfect proportions.

While these are theoretically ideal proportions, it is hard to say that a nose is only beautiful if it exactly matches the angles above.

Cases with Good Results from Protruding Mouth Rhinoplasty

Lastly, I will tell you about the cases that see the best results from protruding mouth rhinoplasty.

​

✅ When the alar is drooping and the columella is hidden inside the nostrils

✅ When the columella is retracted, making the mouth look protruded and the philtrum look long

✅ When the midface is relatively flat or concave

These are some of the prime examples.
