Hello~

💎your beauty universe! This is Weverse Plastic Surgery :)💎

​

If you are looking into rhinoplasty, you have probably

heard of columella surgery at least once.

​

The columella is the pillar of the nose that supports the nasal tip.

​

For a beautiful nose, the height of the nasal bridge and tip is important, but

the shape and length of the columella are also key aesthetic elements of the nose,

greatly influencing its overall appearance.

​

Depending on the shape of the columella, the nose can appear either long or short.

If the columella protrudes too much, the nose may look long

and the nostrils may become overly visible.

Conversely, if the columella is retracted,

surgery is performed to extend the columella outward, tailored to the patient's condition.

​

During this process of extending the columella,

some people worry whether it might make their philtrum look longer.

Today, let's find out if extending the columella actually lengthens the philtrum.

​

"Does extending the columella make the philtrum longer?"

As the retracted part is brought outward,

the philtrum can indeed appear longer.

Therefore, if your philtrum is already quite long,

it may be better not to overextend the columella.

​

​

Because the columella plays a crucial role in shaping the nose,

it should always be carefully considered when planning surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What part of the nose does the columella refer to?

The columella refers to the column of the nose that supports the nasal tip. The shape and length of the columella, as well as the height of the nasal bridge and tip, greatly influence the overall aesthetic elements of the nose.

What problems can arise if the columella protrudes too much?

Yes, it can make the nose appear longer and expose the nostrils excessively. If the columella is overly prominent, it can be corrected to create a more natural nose shape that fits the facial proportions.

Will extending a recessed columella make the philtrum appear longer?

Yes, as the columella that was recessed comes out, the philtrum can visually appear longer. Therefore, it is important to carefully check the overall facial proportions before surgery.

My philtrum is already long; is columella surgery still advisable?

If the philtrum is too long, it is not advisable to excessively extend the columella. Overly extending the columella can make the philtrum appear even longer, so it is important to consult with a specialist to develop an appropriate surgical plan.
