Frontal Effect of Bulbous Nose Correction + Alar Reduction - Dr. Young Moon Yoo, VIBE Plastic Surgery (Wannabe: Actress Kim Yoo-jung's Nose)
A case study of a 20s female patient achieving a sophisticated, slim nose profile inspired by actress Kim Yoo-jung through bulbous nose correction and alar reduction.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Stressed because the nose looks blunt and spread out :(
* Consultation
# She visited the clinic seeking bulbous nose correction. In the past, a bulbous nose was called a ‘lucky nose’ because it was thought to bring wealth, but nowadays, people want to improve it because it gives a blunt impression.
# While the side profile is important, she especially wanted to correct the shape that looked wide and spread out from the front!
# I believed we could achieve a satisfying nose line by slimming the tip, raising the bridge, and correcting the spread-out appearance through alar reduction.
* Surgical Plan
# Tip Plasty (Bulbous Nose Correction)
# Rhinoplasty (Osteotomy, Implant)
# Alar Reduction
* Post-Surgical Thoughts
# She wanted a nose that maintained a round and cute feel while being sufficiently sharp and high. Her ‘wannabe’ was actress Kim Yoo-jung’s nose.
# These days, many patients bring photos of actress Kim Yoo-jung! Her nose has a slightly cute image but is high enough to be sharp, making it a great model for the popular ‘straight-semi-basal’ (Jik-ban) nose line!
# This was a satisfying case where the overall facial image became more sophisticated as the short and blunt nose was improved!
# She was particularly pleased with the overall improvement of the nose, which previously looked spread out from the front :)
