Short Nose and Bulbous Nose Correction

A case study of a teenage female patient who underwent rhinoplasty to correct a short, bulbous nose, achieving a more refined and sophisticated look.

Short Nose and Bulbous Nose Correction

* Basic Information

# Female in her teens

# Short and blunt nose shape

* Consultation

# The patient visited us seeking correction for a bulbous nose. While traditionally called a ‘lucky nose’ in Korea because it was thought to bring fortune, many people now seek improvement as it can create a blunt or heavy impression.

# She was also stressed by her short, rounded nasal tip, which gave her an overly ‘cute’ appearance.

# We determined that refining the nasal tip while raising and smoothing the bridge would produce a satisfying, elegant nasal line.

* Surgical Plan

# Nasal Tip Surgery

- Bulbous nose & short nose correction

- Alar reduction

# Bridge Rhinoplasty (Silicone implant)

* Post-operative Progress

# The patient wanted to transition from a round, cute look to a natural yet sharp and defined nose. We are pleased that the desired shape harmonizes beautifully with her overall facial features.

# By improving the short and blunt nose, her overall image now appears much more sophisticated!
