Hello, this is AB Plastic Surgery!
Today, we’ll take a look at the before-and-after changes of a patient who was concerned about a bulbous nose,
and explain in detail what improved!
Bulbous nose tip + low bridge

Before bulbous nose surgery
※ The nose tip was blunt, making the face look dull
※ The bridge and tip were generally low, causing fatigue from repeated filler procedures
※ Frequent shading makeup was inconvenient in front view
※ The desired look was a slim, straight-bridge line
During the consultation, the patient explained the above concerns and wanted improvement.
In particular, they considered improvement in the front-facing appearance to be the most important, so the surgery was performed with that point as the focus.
Surgical plan using silicone + donated rib cartilage + partial soft tissue removal

Before bulbous nose surgery
The bridge already had a thread-lifting history, so there was a thread line that looked like shading,
and from the side, the protruding forehead bone made the starting point of the bridge look bent, creating a more masculine image.
A CT scan showed that the septum was thin and weak, making this a difficult case that required careful surgical planning.
Surgical direction
After removing the existing threads, we planned to use silicone to create a natural line connecting the forehead to the tip of the nose,
and we built support with donated rib cartilage and removed some soft tissue to improve the bulbous nose.
The height and shape of the nose tip were refined in detail to complete a slimmer front-facing appearance.

Results vary by individual, and through an accurate consultation, please confirm the procedure result that is right for you.
1 week - clear shading even with swelling
This patient also underwent eye surgery at the same time, so although there was significant swelling,
a shading-like look was already visible in the front-facing photos.
It was expected to look much more natural as the swelling went down,
and the patient was also quite satisfied once the splint was removed.
👉 The recovery speed was enough to go out without difficulty.

1 month - bulbous nose improvement + completion of a feminine line
In the photos taken one month later, the following clear changes can be seen.
※ The bulbous nose condition was completely improved
※ A slimmer, more refined impression even from the front
※ From the side, the silicone-filled bridge created a clean line extending from the forehead to the tip of the nose
The overall impression changed to look more feminine and three-dimensional.
It is especially memorable because the nose shape turned out as desired during the consultation, and the patient was satisfied.
Comparing before and after surgery,
the collapsed bridge and blunt nose tip came into harmony, changing into a more refined and three-dimensional image.
A natural nose line was completed that can create a defined impression without shading.

When it comes to bulbous nose surgery, consultation is the most important thing.
That is because bulbous nose surgery is not simply a matter of height!
A precise plan is needed that takes into account various factors such as nose tip thickness, skin layer, soft tissue condition, and bone structure.
Rather than worrying about a bulbous nose alone at home,
please visit AB Plastic Surgery and receive a 1:1 consultation
to directly discuss the nose line that suits you best!
