How Is Bulbous Nose Surgery Different from a General Nose Job?

How is bulbous nose surgery performed?

The nose shapes a person’s overall impression. Did you know that not all noses are the same, but rather come in different types? People have different structures, such as the height of the bridge, the shape of the tip, and the shape of the nostrils. Common nose surgery types include a crooked nose, a hump nose, and a bulbous nose. Today, let’s take a look at how bulbous nose surgery is performed! What differences are there between bulbous nose surgery and a general nose job?

I’m stressed because of my broad nose

A bulbous nose usually gives a broad impression, with a blunt tip compared to the bridge and wide, spread-out nostrils. This kind of shape can make the nose look low and flat, so it is necessary to correct it by designing the thickness of the nostrils to suit the proportions of the face. At VN, we do our best to provide satisfaction by creating the most ideal thickness and height without disrupting each client’s unique features.

How is bulbous nose surgery performed?

In many cases, the tip of a bulbous nose is surrounded by subcutaneous fat. This fat is also what creates the broad appearance. To reduce that feeling, the surgery removes the subcutaneous fat at the nasal tip, raises the cartilage structure inside, and grafts cartilage on top of it to lift the tip.

This can create a slimmer and more defined nose shape.

As explained above, each person has a different nasal structure, cartilage position at the tip, and skin condition, so it is very important to create a surgical plan tailored to each individual. For that reason, consultation with medical staff who have an accurate understanding of nasal structure and knowledge of bulbous nose surgery is essential.

I want to change to a more refined impression!

When the nostrils are wide, they can create a dull and broad impression. In such cases, nostril reduction surgery may also be needed. The two main types are when the nostrils are large and when the area below the nostrils is wide. Let’s take a look at how each type is performed.

1. When the nostrils are large

Incise the nostrils from the outside to the inside > bring the nostrils together and suture

2. When the area below the nostrils is wide

Tie the area below the nostrils together with sutures > reduce the width of the nose and the size of the nostrils

When the nasal tip is low and the nose looks flat

When the bridge is high but the tip is wide and spread out

When the tissue and fat at the nasal tip are thick

If any of the above apply, bulbous nose surgery may be necessary.
