SEHYUN ANSWER
In male rhinoplasty,
does the area between the brows have to be high to look good?
Sehyun's answer is NO
Because of the idea that a handsome man's bridge should start between the brows,
some people mistakenly believe that male rhinoplasty must always create a high bridge in that area.
But if the area between the brows is raised without considering skin thickness, face shape and balance with the surrounding structures,
it can create a so-called “lion nose” that looks obviously operated on
and unnatural, and the risk of side effects also increases.
SEHYUN AESTHETIC CLINIC
Male rhinoplasty to create a straight profile requires precise planning of the starting point of the bridge, called the nasion.
The starting point of the bridge is not determined by visual estimation alone.
When you are looking straight ahead, the ideal position for this point, called the nasion, is at a level midway between the eyelashes and the double eyelid crease.
The ideal height at the nasion is about 6 mm, and an angle of about 32–36 degrees from the starting point of the bridge looks natural.

90°~105°
About 32°–36°
Ideal depth: about 6 mm
The area between the brows is too high and looks unnatural.

Q&A
Natural-looking male rhinoplasty starts with precisely setting the nasion, where the bridge begins. With the eyes looking straight ahead, the nasion is placed level with the midpoint between the lash line and the double eyelid crease, and its ideal depth is about 6 mm. The nose is then matched to the facial bone structure, using about 140–150° from the glabella to the tip, 90–105° from the tip to the upper lip, and about 32–36° along the bridge as references.
Simply raising the area between the eyebrows can actually look unnatural, so skin thickness, face shape and balance with the surrounding structures are considered together. At Sehyun Plastic Surgery, male rhinoplasty is personally designed and performed by Chief Surgeon Dr. Yoo Hyun-seok, a board-certified plastic surgeon who has performed rhinoplasty for at least 20 years.
We look at skin thickness, facial bone structure and balance with your other features to plan the shape of the bridge and tip. In particular, we check the position and height of the nasion, where the bridge begins, and the angle of the bridge. Rather than simply raising the area between the brows, we design to suit your facial structure.
The cost can vary with the surgical methods and extent of correction for the bridge and tip, and the cartilage or materials used. We check the structure of your nose and any previous surgery, and let you know the cost for your surgical plan after diagnosis and consultation. You can inquire on the Cost Consultation page of the Consultation & Booking menu.
It is a good idea to check whether the surgeon is a board-certified plastic surgeon and who handles consultation, surgery and post-op follow-up. Also check whether the surgeon assesses your skin thickness, bone structure and where your bridge begins, and explains the surgical plan.
At Sehyun Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Yoo Hyun-seok handles consultation, design, surgery and post-op care.

When reading reviews, please look not only at the height of the nose but also at its harmony with the whole face and how long after surgery each photo was taken. The shape of the nose can change over time, so it is hard to judge the result from early photos alone.
