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.

* 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!


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