In the past, a bulbous nose was said to carry a positive meaning, referring to a nose that brings good fortune. But in modern times, standards for appearance have become stricter, and if the nose is large, wide, and spread out, it can make the face look dull or old-fashioned, causing the overall facial proportions to seem unbalanced. Because of this, more people are looking into the differences before and after bulbous nose surgery to improve the condition.

In particular, the shape of the nose varies from person to person, and since it is located at the center of all the facial features and is a three-dimensional area, the overall impression can be greatly influenced by its shape. As a result, it can become a source of stress in daily life. In such cases, you can check the before-and-after results of bulbous nose surgery and see examples of naturally improved appearance.

Bulbous nose surgery refers to surgery that improves a nose tip that is blunt and spread out into a sharper, more refined appearance.

If you look at the before-and-after results of bulbous nose surgery, the reasons people choose the surgery differ from person to person, but they can generally be grouped into cases such as a blunt, non-sharp nose tip; wide and spread-out nostrils; thick skin tissue and fat around the nostrils; a generally flat nostril and nose tip area; or wanting revision surgery because improvement was not achieved after previous bulbous nose correction.

Therefore, for those looking into the before-and-after results of bulbous nose surgery, the surgery is often considered from an external aesthetic perspective, as in the cases above. However, while the outer appearance is very important in nose surgery, the nose is also a functional organ responsible for breathing and smell throughout the body. It is therefore very helpful to check both the external cosmetic issues and any internal functional problems before proceeding. If only cosmetic surgery is performed externally, postoperative functional problems may lead to revision surgery.

At N Plus Clinic, bulbous nose surgery is broadly divided into four methods. The procedure is performed according to cases such as excessive subcutaneous fat at the nose tip, separated nose tip cartilages, wide nostrils, or large nose tip cartilages. If there is a problem with internal nasal function, functional correction is performed first, followed by cosmetic rhinoplasty.

If there is a lot of subcutaneous fat at the nose tip, the overall nasal line can be improved through nostril reduction surgery, correction of the nasal bridge height, and correction of the nose tip height.

If the nose tip cartilages are separated, the overall nasal line can be improved through nose tip cartilage suturing, correction of the nasal bridge height, and correction of the nose tip height.

If the nostrils are wide, the overall nasal line can be improved through nostril reduction surgery, correction of the nasal bridge height, and correction of the nose tip height.

If the nose tip cartilages themselves are large, the overall nasal line can be corrected by reducing and reshaping the cartilage through resection and osteotomy, then correcting the nasal bridge height and nose tip height.

As such, for those looking into the before-and-after results of bulbous nose surgery, it may seem similar to general nose surgery. However, bulbous nose surgery is considered one of the more difficult types of rhinoplasty, so it is very helpful to carefully check 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 accurately assess the condition of your nose, and whether postoperative care can be reliably guaranteed.

In addition, at N Plus Clinic, to ensure safe and satisfactory before-and-after results from bulbous nose surgery, various preoperative allergy tests, internal nasal function tests, 3D-CT scans, internal endoscopic imaging, and multi-angle photography are performed to accurately assess each person’s external and internal nasal condition. Based on the extracted data, a surgical plan is established and carried out.

At N Plus Clinic, Director Yoon Hyun-cheol personally handles every step one-on-one, from consultation about the before-and-after results of bulbous nose surgery to surgical planning, procedure, treatment, and follow-up examinations, providing a high level of medical service from before surgery through recovery.

The postoperative care includes a warranty system covering one year after surgery, as well as a surgical responsibility guarantee system that prepares for all possible situations, such as postoperative pain, inflammation, or dissatisfaction with the shape. This means you can receive reliable aftercare benefits even after the operation.
