Bulbous Nose Surgery for a More Sophisticated Look

Hello. This is OJIKO N Plus, which thinks only about your beautiful and healthy nose. The topic we will introduce this time is bulbous nose surgery, which transforms the nose into a more sophisticated look. Nowadays, many people are highly interested in plastic surgery in order to improve aspects of their appearance they feel are lacking, but indiscriminate cosmetic procedures can cause various side effects, so it is important to proceed more carefully. Even so, one of the most popular procedures is rhinoplasty, because the nose is located at the center of all our facial features and is the most three-dimensional area, so even a small change in the shape of the nose can have a significant effect on changing the image.

Therefore, those looking into rhinoplasty are often more interested in information about rhinoplasty when the nose is too low, too high, the tip is upturned, drooping, crooked, or bulbous. In Korea, many people have the low and blunt nose shape characteristic of East Asians, and because of this shape, it can look dull or old-fashioned, so you may want to learn more about bulbous nose surgery in detail.

What is bulbous nose surgery? It refers to cases where the nasal alar skin tissue and fat are thick, causing the nose to appear wide and spread out, or cases where the nasal tip is blunt and spread out; a nose that looks overall large and wide is called a bulbous nose. The surgery that refines such a wide and spread-out nose into a sharper, slimmer shape is called bulbous nose surgery.

However, bulbous nose surgery is not performed in the same way with the same materials for everyone. It varies depending on the individual’s skin condition, cartilage condition, nasal bone condition, and whether there are internal functional issues. Because the nose is a functional organ responsible for breathing and smell, surgery must also take the internal functional aspects of the nose into consideration to help prevent revision surgery due to postoperative functional problems or dissatisfaction with the shape.

For this reason, the people who inquire about such bulbous nose surgery can be broadly divided into various types, such as those with a blunt, non-sharp nasal tip; those with wide, spread-out nostrils; those with thick alar skin tissue and fat; those with an overall flat nostrils and nasal tip; and those who want revision surgery because their bulbous nose surgery did not improve the condition.

In addition, in the case of bulbous nose surgery, it is difficult to accurately diagnose the various causes of a bulbous nose based on external appearance alone, so it is important to carefully confirm the current state of the nose through equipment, and the surgical method should be applied accordingly. Therefore, after carefully checking whether the medical team has a high level of anatomical knowledge of the nose, whether they have extensive relevant experience, whether equipment is available to assess the condition of your nose, and whether aftercare is firmly guaranteed, it is best to make your choice.

At OJIKO N Plus, before surgery we accurately assess each individual’s current nasal condition through 3D-CT scans, internal endoscopic imaging, various allergy tests, and nasal internal function tests. Based on the extracted data, we establish and carry out the surgical plan, allowing for safer and more satisfying bulbous nose surgery.

The surgical methods for bulbous nose surgery are divided into four types: cases with a lot of fat in the nose itself, cases where the nasal tip cartilage is separated, cases with wide nostrils, and cases with large nasal tip cartilage.

When there is a lot of subcutaneous fat at the nasal tip, the fat is removed from the nose, unnecessary soft tissue is removed, and then the bridge and tip of the nose are refined to match the desired nose line.

If the cartilage at the nasal tip is spread apart, the widely separated alar cartilages are sutured and naturally brought together, and additionally the height of the nasal bridge and tip is adjusted.

If the nostrils are wide, part of the nostril tissue is excised, and if the degree of nostril width is mild, a bundling procedure is performed using special thread. In addition, the height of the nasal bridge and tip is adjusted.

If the nasal tip cartilage is large, part of the nasal tip cartilage is trimmed, the cartilage size and overall shape are refined, and in addition the height of the nasal bridge and tip is adjusted.

For the additional nasal bridge silicone insertion, instead of using commercially available silicone as is, the procedure is carried out after carefully shaping it by hand while considering various aspects such as the individual’s overall image and the width, length, breadth, and height of the nasal bridge, allowing for more satisfying rhinoplasty.

At OJIKO N Plus, to ensure safe and satisfying bulbous nose surgery, Director Yoon Hyun-cheol personally handles every step one-on-one, from rhinoplasty consultation to surgical planning, execution, treatment, and follow-up examinations, allowing you to receive high-level medical services.

For aftercare, an N Plus membership card is issued, providing an A/S system that guarantees support for one year after surgery. In addition, a surgical responsibility guarantee system is in place to prepare for any situation that may arise after surgery, such as postoperative pain, inflammation, or dissatisfaction with the shape, so you can receive safer and more satisfying aftercare benefits.
