Bulbous Nose Rhinoplasty and Columellar Extension

A case study of a teenage female patient who underwent bulbous nose correction and columellar extension to achieve a refined nasal tip and ideal nasolabial angle.

Bulbous Nose Rhinoplasty and Columellar Extension

* Basic Information

# Female in her teens

# Low bridge and bulbous nose tip.

* Consultation

# The patient visited to correct her bulbous nose. While it was traditionally called a ‘lucky nose’ in the past, many people now seek improvement because it can give a blunt or heavy impression. Additionally, her columella was significantly retracted, creating a somewhat ‘stuffy’ look. We decided to perform columellar extension (columellar pull-down) to create an ideal nasolabial angle.

# By refining the nasal tip while raising and smoothing the bridge line, we expect to achieve a highly satisfying nasal profile.

* Surgical Plan

# Nasal Tip Surgery (Bulbous nose correction, Columellar extension)

# Nasal Bridge Surgery (Silicone implant)

* Post-operative Progress

# While correcting the bulbous nose, we simultaneously extended the retracted columella to create an ideal nasolabial angle.

# The patient was very satisfied as the surgery resulted in a much more sophisticated and refined appearance. ^^
