Correcting a Short, Bulbous Nose: Can I Get a Nose Like Kim Yoo-jung? | Dr. Yoo Young-moon, VIBE Plastic Surgery

* Basic Information

# Female in her 20s

# The nose appears short, bulbous, and slightly upturned.

* Consultation

# The patient visited to correct a ‘bok-ko’ (bulbous nose). While traditionally considered a sign of good fortune in Korea, many now seek improvement as it can give a blunt or heavy impression.

# She was also stressed by the fact that her nostrils were highly visible due to the nose being short and upturned.

# We determined that refining the nasal tip while raising and smoothing the bridge would result in a highly satisfying nasal line.

Pre-operative CT Scan: Essential for assessing the shape, position, and size of the nasal septum before surgery.

* Surgical Plan

# Tip Plasty (Bulbous & Short Nose Correction)

# Bridge Rhinoplasty (Implant)

Kim Yoo-jung’s Nose: A nose that maintains natural volume at the tip while remaining sharp and well-defined.

* Post-operative Thoughts

# The patient wanted to maintain a soft, cute vibe while achieving a sufficiently sharp and elevated look. Her ideal ‘wannabe’ was actress Kim Yoo-jung.

# These days, many patients bring photos of Kim Yoo-jung! Her nose is a great model for the popular ‘glam-natural’ (straight-semi-basal) line, as it projects a cute image while having enough height to look sophisticated.

# By correcting the short and bulbous features, the patient’s entire facial image looks much more refined, making this a very satisfying case!

Always consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon for your surgery!

VIBE that comes from rich experience.
