About
Columella Rhinoplasty at Wanna Plastic Surgery
The columella is the part that supports the tip of the nose like a pillar between both nostrils. If the shape of the columella is not pretty, dissatisfaction with the side view of the face or the nose may occur after rhinoplasty. The ideal columella shape is when the nasolabial angle, which is the angle between the columella and the lips, is 95 to 100 degrees, and the angle between the columella and the tip of the nose is about 45 degrees. Columella Rhinoplasty is a surgery that corrects the line from the tip of the nose to the lips to an ideal angle.
Wanna Plastic Surgery’s columella plastic surgery can create a three-dimensional and balanced facial line by improving the overall proportions by lowering the collapsed columella or raising the sagging columella. If performed at the same time as rhinoplasty, a more ideal side line can be achieved.

Ideal Nasolabial Angle
When viewed from the front, the tip of the columella is about 2 mm lower than the tip of the nose and is at an angle of about 10 to 15 degrees from the alar wings. Ideally, the nostrils should look like a smooth oval.
The ideal nasolabial angle from the side is 95 to 100 degrees for women and 85 to 90 degrees for men, and ideally the columella and nostrils are slightly visible beyond the bridge of the nose.
However, since it is important to create a harmonious columella that fits the entire face with an individualized columella angle, detailed consultation with a surgeon is required.
Recommendation Target
Columella Rhinoplasty is recommended for these people
| 01 | When the columella is collapsed and the philtrum looks long |

| 04 | When the ideal nasolabial angle is not obtained from the side |

Columella Rhinoplasty
Method
CASE 01
If columella is sunken
If it is slightly sunken
The columella is strengthened by bringing the bottom parts of the alar cartilage together or by performing a cartilage transplant in front of the medial wing of the alar cartilage.
If it is excessively sunken
Cartilage transplantation is performed using septal lengthening surgery to advance and fix the medial wing portion of the alar cartilage.
CASE 02
If columella is saggy
Surgical Method 01
If the columella is far down and the nose looks long, trim the medial wing of the alar cartilage.
Surgical Method 02
The inner wing of the alar cartilage is retracted and fixed to the septal cartilage to raise the sagging columella.
Surgical Method 03
It is corrected by removing part of the long developed part below the septal cartilage.
