No-Implant Bulbous Nose Rhinoplasty

* Basic Information

• Female in her teens
• Bulbous and long nasal tip
• Uneven nasal bridge due to a dorsal hump

* Consultation

1. The patient’s primary concern was a nasal tip that appeared bulbous and drooped, making the nose look excessively long.
2. She wanted to improve her strong impression caused by an uneven nasal bridge with a hump.
3. As she preferred not to use artificial implants, the surgery was planned as a no-implant rhinoplasty.

* Surgical Plan

1. Nasal Tip Surgery
   • Septal extension graft
   • Bulbous & long nose correction
2. Nasal Bridge Surgery
   • Dorsal hump correction
   • No-implant approach

* Post-operative Progress

1. The post-operative results show a natural yet well-defined nasal tip.
2. Correcting the long and bulbous tip resulted in a feminine and sophisticated nose, leading to high patient satisfaction.
3. When dealing with a dorsal hump, ‘one should not attempt to solve it by shaving the hump down entirely. Doing so can make the nose look too flat, and excessive irritation increases the chance of recurrence! It is crucial to utilize the hump as much as possible to maintain height while smoothing the line.’ This allows for a sleek nasal bridge that is not too low, even without the use of implants.

Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
