The Perfect Transformation of a Bulbous Nose!
A 20-year-old female patient achieves a refined, sophisticated look through bulbous nose correction, bridge augmentation, and alar reduction.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Low bridge and bulbous nose tip
# Previously tried fillers but was unsatisfied, leading to the decision for surgery.
* Consultation
# The patient visited seeking correction for a bulbous nose. While traditionally called a ‘lucky nose’ in Korea, many people seek improvement because it can give a blunt or heavy impression.
# We determined that a satisfying nose line could be achieved by refining the tip to be slimmer while raising and smoothing the bridge line.
# Although fillers can raise the bridge, they cannot fully correct the bulbous appearance, which is why she decided on surgery.
* Surgical Plan
# Tip Plasty
- Bulbous nose correction
- Septal extension graft
# Bridge Augmentation
- Dissolving existing fillers
- Silicone implant
# Alar Reduction
Before/After Selfies
* Post-Surgical Progress
# There are several types of bulbous noses: 1. Thick skin, 2. Thick soft tissue (subcutaneous fat, etc.), 3. Splayed or wide cartilage. Since these factors usually occur in combination, it is best to correct each factor appropriately. We sculpted the skin and soft tissue to be thinner and reshaped the cartilage to create a sharp, defined look.
# We achieved an ideal tip angle. The nasolabial angle must be well-defined for the tip to look much sharper. The importance of the nasolabial angle cannot be overemphasized!
# With the bulbous nose corrected, her overall impression has changed to look much more sophisticated! I am glad that the desired nose shape harmonizes well with her entire face. ^^
