Before and After Bulbous Nose Surgery: Accurately Identifying the Cause

Hello. We are OJIKO Hospital & N+ Clinic, dedicated for 16 years to thinking only about your beautiful and healthy nose.

The topic we have prepared this time is about before and after bulbous nose surgery, after accurately identifying the cause.

Many people are highly interested in cosmetic surgery for self-satisfaction or to appear more favorable to others. Among these procedures, the nose is located at the center of our face and is one of the most three-dimensional areas. When people judge that the shape of their nose does not fit the ideal standard, many look into rhinoplasty to improve the overall impression of the face. Therefore, interest tends to be especially high when the nose is low, upturned, crooked, humped, or bulbous. In particular, if the nose is bulbous, it looks low, broad, and large, making the overall facial image appear dull and more prominent, so people may look into before and after bulbous nose surgery in more detail to improve it.

Those who are looking into before and after bulbous nose surgery may have a low nasal bridge, a large or wide nose, or a nose that draws attention and makes the overall facial balance look off. When the nose is not in the straight, well-aligned shape they consider ideal, they seek information about before and after bulbous nose surgery in order to improve it into a sharper and more refined image.

Accordingly, the types of people who look into before and after bulbous nose surgery can be classified into different categories depending on the condition of the skin, cartilage, and bone: a blunt nose tip, wide and spread-out nostrils, thick nostril skin tissue and fat, a generally flat nostril and nose tip area, or cases where revision surgery is desired because improvement was not achieved even after bulbous nose surgery.

At OJIKO Hospital & N+ Clinic, to ensure safe and satisfying before and after bulbous nose surgery, we accurately assess each individual’s current condition through preoperative 3D-CT imaging, internal endoscopic imaging, various allergy tests, and internal nasal function tests. Based on the extracted data, we establish a plan and determine the surgical method and materials for the procedure.

Accordingly, if you look at before and after bulbous nose surgery, even if the shape is similar, different surgical methods are applied depending on the condition of the individual’s cartilage, skin, and bone. Bulbous nose surgery is performed according to whether there is a lot of subcutaneous fat at the nose tip, whether the nose tip cartilage is spread apart, whether the nostrils are wide, or whether the nose tip cartilage is large.

For bulbous nose surgery when there is a lot of subcutaneous fat at the nose tip, unnecessary soft tissue is removed through fat reduction in the nose, and then the procedure is performed to match the desired nose line, with additional correction by designing the height of the nasal bridge and nose tip.

In cases of bulbous nose surgery where the nose tip cartilage is spread apart, the widely separated alar cartilages are sutured and brought together naturally, and then the height of the nasal bridge and nose tip is designed and corrected to match the desired nose line.

In cases of bulbous nose surgery for wide nostrils, part of the nostril tissue is excised. If the degree of width is mild after correction, a binding procedure is performed using special threads, and the nasal bridge and nose tip height are designed and corrected to match the desired nose line.

In cases of bulbous nose surgery where the cartilage size is large, part of the nose tip cartilage is trimmed, and after correcting the cartilage size and overall shape, the nasal bridge and nose tip height are designed and corrected to match the nose line.

As with before and after bulbous nose surgery, various methods can be applied to reduce wide nostrils in bulbous nose cases, so the cause of the bulbous nose must be accurately identified and the appropriate surgery performed accordingly. Therefore, those looking into before and after bulbous nose surgery may find it helpful to carefully check whether the medical staff have a high level of anatomical knowledge of the nose, whether they have sufficient related experience and expertise, whether the necessary equipment to accurately assess the nose is available, and whether aftercare can be reliably guaranteed, before making a choice.

At OJIKO Hospital & N+ Clinic, Director Yoon Hyun-cheol personally handles one-on-one care and directly oversees every step of the process, from consultation about before and after bulbous nose surgery to surgical planning, implementation, treatment, and follow-up visits, allowing patients to receive a high level of medical service from before surgery through aftercare.

For post-surgery care, we issue an N+ membership card and provide an A/S system covered for one year after surgery. We also operate a surgery responsibility guarantee system in preparation for all possible situations, including postoperative pain, inflammation, or dissatisfaction with the result, allowing for a safer and more satisfying before and after bulbous nose surgery.
