Transformation of a Blunt Bulbous Nose!! I love Kim Yoo-jung’s nose :D
A 20-year-old patient achieves a refined, sophisticated look through bulbous nose correction and bridge augmentation, inspired by actress Kim Yoo-jung.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Medical History: Nose filler & Hiko (thread lift) procedures, alar reduction
# Stress caused by a nose that looks blunt and spread out :(
* Consultation
# The patient visited to correct a bulbous nose. While it was traditionally called a ‘lucky nose’ (bok-ko) in Korea, she wanted to improve it because it gave a somewhat blunt impression.
# Despite having tried nose fillers, Hiko procedures, and alar reduction, she was dissatisfied with the results and decided to undergo surgery.
# While the side profile was important, she particularly wanted to correct the spread-out appearance from the front!
# I determined that a satisfying nose line could be achieved by refining the tip and raising the bridge line.
* Surgical Plan
# Tip Plasty (Bulbous nose & nasolabial angle correction)
# Bridge Augmentation (Osteotomy, implant)
* Post-Surgical Thoughts
# She wanted to maintain a round and cute feel to some extent while achieving a sufficiently high and sharp nose. Her ‘wannabe’ was actress Kim Yoo-jung’s nose.
# These days, many patients bring photos of actress Kim Yoo-jung! Her nose is a great model for the currently popular ‘fancy-natural’ (jaryeon-han) straight-semi-basal line, as it maintains a cute image while having sufficient height.
# This was a satisfying case where the overall facial image became much more sophisticated after the short and blunt nose was improved!
# She was especially pleased with the overall improvement of the nose, which previously looked spread out from the front :)
