Hello, this is AB Plastic Surgery!
These days, more and more people are concerned that a bulbous nose makes their face look blunt or less defined, and they are worrying about it as an aesthetic complex.
In particular, a low nasal bridge, a wide and blunt tip, and a nose that appears spread out are typical features of a bulbous nose.
Because of this, many people are looking for bulbous nose correction and tip plasty to improve it.
Today, together with Dr. Seo Chan-eol, we will look at the various types of bulbous noses with low, blunt tips, as well as the correction methods that differ by type,
and we will also take a look at before-and-after photos of a patient who actually underwent bulbous nose correction at AB Plastic Surgery.
What is bulbous nose surgery?

A bulbous nose refers to a nose with a blunt, low tip that looks round and spread out overall.
This is a different concept from a nose that looks wide because of broad nostrils.
Bulbous nose correction improves this by identifying the cause of the blunt, low tip and using methods such as trimming wide cartilage or tying the tip together.
What are the causes and features of a bulbous nose?

✔️ When the alar cartilage is overly developed and wide
✔️ When the cartilage at the nasal tip is developed or separated
✔️ When the nasal tip skin is thick or the subcutaneous tissue is thick
Common features of a bulbous nose include a round, spread-out tip when viewed from the front,
broad nostrils that make the nose take up a larger proportion of the face, and an overall tendency for the impression to look less defined.
For these reasons, more and more people who want a refined, sharper impression are considering bulbous nose correction.

Because bulbous noses have many different causes and vary greatly from person to person, bulbous nose correction surgery should not be planned by considering only the shape of the nose.
It is necessary to comprehensively analyze skin thickness, cartilage elasticity, and the overall proportions of the face,
and above all, it is important to establish a customized bulbous nose correction plan through sufficient consultation with the plastic surgeon.
A real case of bulbous nose surgery at AB Plastic Surgery

A nose bridge that is not low, but with a wide nasal bone and a blunt tip
✔️ From the front, the blunt tip and wide nasal bone made the face look puffy and less defined.
✔️ From the side, the nasal bridge was not low, but it lacked a feminine, slender look.
Considering the balance of the entire face, a slim nasal bridge was created from the front through lateral osteotomy,
and the tip was raised using the patient’s own rib cartilage after removing some soft tissue, creating a slim and refined impression.
As a result, the existing strengths of the nasal bridge were preserved while the insufficient tip and line were precisely corrected, resulting in bulbous nose surgery tailored to the harmony and proportions of the face.

Did you all know that consultation is the most important part of rhinoplasty?
In the case of a bulbous nose, it is not simply a matter of height, so the thickness of the nasal tip, the skin layer, the condition of the soft tissue, the bone structure, and other factors
must be analyzed to plan the surgery accurately.
If you are worried about a bulbous nose, don’t worry about it alone.
