Worrying About a Bulbous Nose and Alar Reduction... Personalized Procedures Applied

As preference for a sharp, high nose has increased, many people are also no longer fond of a so-called ‘bulbous nose,’ which is said in physiognomy to bring good fortune.

The nose has a major impact on the overall impression of the face, and even small differences in the size and shape of the alar base, or in the height of the nasal bridge, can greatly change how a person looks.

Therefore, when the alar base is wide or the nose has the shape of a bulbous nose, it can be difficult to create a refined image, so many people seek ways to improve it.

In general, the alae are considered ideal when their width is the same as the distance between the eyebrows and smaller than the lips. If the alae are too large or have a round, flat nostril shape, the alar base itself can look overly broad, making the nasal bridge appear lower than it really is and giving a somewhat rough impression. For this reason, many people look for ways to make the nose smaller, such as nostril reduction surgery or alar reduction. In such cases, the alar base can be corrected through nose-slim injections and alar reduction surgery.

◆Alar base correction... nose-slim injections, alar reduction surgery, and more

▲Nose-slim injections are made up of collagen-degrading and fat-degrading ingredients, and they break down the soft tissue and fat in the alae to reduce the thickness of the alar base and alae. In a short procedure, they reduce the muscles, tissue, and fine fat of the alar base, naturally slimming it down.

▲If nose-slim injections are not enough, alar reduction surgery can reduce the overall alar base, including the nostrils and alar wings.

If only the lower part of the nostrils is wide, the two nostrils are tied together with sutures to bring the tip of the nose closer together. If the skin of the alar base is thick, the lower parts of both alae are excised to reduce their size and then brought together and sutured. Through this, the alar base can be reduced into an ideal nose shape.

A bulbous nose, where the nasal tip is blunt and the alae are wide and thick, occurs when the alar cartilages at the tip of the nose are excessively developed or when there is a lot of subcutaneous fat in the soft tissue of the nasal tip. Therefore, to correct a bulbous nose, it is necessary to perform bulbous nose surgery tailored to each case.

◆Intranasal incision

When the alar cartilages at the nasal tip are large or spread outward to the left and right, correction is performed by making an incision inside the nose, removing or trimming the cartilage, and then tying the left and right sides together.

By cutting away the large cartilage, the alar cartilages become smaller and the alae naturally move toward the center, allowing correction into a slimmer and more refined nose.

When there is a lot of subcutaneous fat at the nasal tip and the skin tissue is thick, the fat tissue at the nasal tip is removed to reduce skin thickness and improve the bulbous nose.

Also, a bulbous nose can generally appear together with a low nose, so combining filler treatment to correct a low nasal bridge can provide a greater corrective effect.

◆Non-incisional, minimally invasive procedure ‘Hi-Co’

If there is concern about the burden of surgery when correcting a bulbous nose, it can be improved through Hi-Co, a non-incisional, minimally invasive procedure.

Hi-Co is a procedure that combines PDO threads and filler, and it can improve the nose into a delicate, three-dimensional shape that looks as if nose surgery had been performed. After inserting dissolvable threads into the nasal bridge and tip, filler is injected to correct the nose into the desired bridge height and shape.

If you are considering bulbous nose correction and alar reduction, you should undergo customized design and procedures or surgery according to your nose condition and preferred design through sufficient consultation with a specialist. Therefore, choosing a hospital staffed by an experienced specialist with extensive experience in nose surgery is one way to improve treatment effectiveness as well as satisfaction.
