VIBE Plastic Surgery: Implant-Free Bulbous Nose Rhinoplasty!
A case study of a 20-year-old female who achieved a refined, natural look through implant-free rhinoplasty, correcting a bulbous tip and dorsal hump.

* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Droopy and blunt nose tip & unevenness due to a dorsal hump
* Consultation
1. Her primary concern was that her nose appeared large due to a blunt and wide nose tip.
2. She had previously tried fillers, but was dissatisfied as they made the nose look even ‘fatter’.
3. She also wanted to improve the uneven side profile caused by a dorsal hump.
4. Since the bridge of her nose was not low, we planned for an implant-free surgery.
5. As the nostrils appeared wide, we decided to include alar reduction for improvement.
* Surgical Plan
1. Bridge Rhinoplasty
- Dorsal hump correction
- Implant-free
- Osteotomy
2. Tip Rhinoplasty
- Septal extension graft
- Correction of bulbous tip, long nose, and nasolabial angle
- Alar reduction








* Post-operative Progress
1. The post-operative results show a natural yet sharp nose tip.
2. By correcting the long and bulbous nose, a feminine and sophisticated look was achieved, leading to high patient satisfaction.
3. If the bridge is sufficiently high, a natural nasal line can be created without using implants.
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
