Noble Surgery, C-Curl Formation (Cat Surgery)

INDEX

Noble Surgery This procedure involves inserting a
prosthesis or your own rib cartilage into the base of the nostrils (the root of the alar base) to improve its concavity and add dimensionality to the midface. It is called “Noble Surgery” because it creates an impression of lifting the nose from its foundation
. It is also popular as a surgery that balances the nose and mouth area, with the added benefit of potentially making nasolabial folds appear less pronounced.

C-Curve Formation (Cat Surgery)
C-Curve Formation is a procedure that involves transplanting ear cartilage or rib cartilage to the base of the columella to create a natural curve (C-line) from the columella to the upper lip.
It imparts a soft three-dimensional contour to the midface and enhances the elegance of the mouth area.
