Hello, this is AB Plastic Surgery!

Today, together with Director Jo Gyu-sang, we’d like to share a surgical case that may be very helpful for those considering bulbous nose surgery.

This is a case where a blunt, bulbous nose was changed into a clear and three-dimensional nose line.

I really like the natural yet refined nose line that is elevated without being excessive!

As you can tell from the feedback we heard directly, this case was a customized bulbous nose surgery that considered function, design, and overall appearance.

Postoperative photos may differ from the actual appearance due to the shooting environment, lighting, makeup, and other factors.

Results vary from person to person, and through an accurate consultation, you can check the procedure outcome that is suitable for you.

AB Plastic Surgery Key Points of Bulbous Nose Surgery

“I want to improve my bulbous nose. I don’t want the tip to be pointed.”

During the consultation, the patient explained the desired direction, and after identifying those needs, we proceeded in a way that reflected that as much as possible.

According to the CT results, the septum was small and deviated, making nose surgery relatively difficult,

and since the patient had a round face shape, adjusting the length and height of the nose while considering the balance of the entire face was the key point.

So we approached it this way.

We improved the flat forehead with forehead fat grafting to create a natural and soft impression.

We created a smooth line from the glabella to the tip of the nose using a nasal bridge implant.

We reinforced the columella in a sturdy and natural way by placing autologous rib cartilage as a support.

We performed tip surgery using tip cartilage suturing + partial removal of soft tissue and septal cartilage,

improving the bulbous nose while completing a tip that was not pointed.

Through lateral nasal bone osteotomy, we corrected the deviated nasal bridge and enhanced the shadow and highlight definition of the bridge from the front.

Postoperative photos may differ from the actual appearance due to the shooting environment, lighting, makeup, and other factors.

Results vary from person to person, and through an accurate consultation, you can check the procedure outcome that is suitable for you.

Although swelling had to be taken into account to some extent because eye surgery and facial contouring surgery were performed together, there was almost no bruising around the nose,

and even with the swelling, the three-dimensional effect was clearly visible from the front.

Also, even from the front, the forehead volume looks refined.

I remember the patient saying that the donor site where the autologous rib cartilage was harvested did not hurt at all, and that they were also satisfied with the nose surgery.

Results vary from person to person, and through an accurate consultation, you can check the procedure outcome that is suitable for you.

A more glamorous nose line completed + a more three-dimensional nose

From around the 1-month point, the nose line begins to settle properly.

From the front, side, or 45-degree angle, you can see that the three-dimensional effect has improved.

In addition, the curve flowing from the forehead to the tip of the nose also gives a more refined look.

It was transformed perfectly into a neat and natural impression without a bulbous nose, with a feminine and urban image.

"I like it much more than what I mentioned during the first consultation!"

I was truly proud to hear those words after the patient visited AB Plastic Surgery following the operation.

Bulbous nose surgery is not simply about “creating a shape.”

Your own nasal structure, the condition of the soft tissue and cartilage, harmony with the overall facial image,

and the atmosphere you want—all of these factors must be considered to expect a satisfying result.

That is why it is important to carefully consider the preoperative plan → selecting the materials for nose surgery → the surgical method that is suitable for the patient,

so that each patient can achieve a truly satisfying outcome.
