Hello~

💎your beauty universe! I am Dr. Shim Junghwan of Uverse Plastic Surgery :)💎

Many people undergo rhinoplasty to improve a low and short nose.

Rhinoplasty helps change your overall image by enhancing the three-dimensional profile of your face.

When an implant is inserted during rhinoplasty, the existing skin is pulled,

and during this process, your eyes may appear slightly closer together.

​

One of the most common concerns people have before getting rhinoplasty is this illusion of close-set eyes.

Those who already have a narrow glabella (space between the eyebrows) before surgery often worry that raising the nasal bridge

will make their glabella look even narrower.

​

Today, let's find out if rhinoplasty actually causes the eyes to look closer together.

​

Do eyes look closer together after rhinoplasty?

Right after rhinoplasty, swelling occurs, so the space between the eyebrows may temporarily

appear closer, but once the swelling subsides, it will return to how it originally looked.

Usually, the silicone implant used during rhinoplasty is about 3 to 4 mm thick,

so this amount of thickness does not cause the eyes to actually pull closer together.

Today, we learned about the concern of close-set eyes after rhinoplasty.

I will be back next time with even more informative content.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does nose surgery really make my eyes look closer together?

Yes, temporarily your eyes might appear closer together immediately after surgery. This is because the existing skin is pulled and swelling occurs during the process of inserting the implant. However, this is temporary and will naturally return to its original state as the swelling subsides, so you don't need to worry too much.

My glabella is narrow; will nose surgery make it even narrower?

No, it will not permanently become narrower. Immediately after surgery, the glabella might temporarily appear narrower due to swelling, but as the swelling subsides during the recovery process, it will return to its pre-surgery width.

Can the silicone used in nose surgery cause my eyes to look closer together?

No, a typical silicone thickness does not cause the eyes to look closer together. Silicone implants commonly used in nose surgery are about 3-4mm thick, and inserting an implant of this thickness alone does not cause a permanent phenomenon of the eyes looking closer together.

When does the phenomenon of my eyes looking closer together after nose surgery disappear?

It naturally disappears as the swelling that occurred after surgery subsides. The main causes of the eyes appearing closer together are immediate post-surgical swelling and skin tension, so as the swelling goes down according to individual recovery speed, the phenomenon of the eyes looking closer together will also improve, returning to their original appearance.
