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.

* 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. ^^
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
