When you look at yourself in the mirror,

if there is a part where your gaze lingers unusually long,

it is likely one of two things.

Either it is the area you feel most confident about,

or the area where you have a complex.

The nose, located at the center of the face,

is often mentioned in both cases because

it greatly influences a person’s impression.

That means even a very small change can

create a noticeable transformation in appearance.

This is also why people who worry that their nose tip looks blunt in photos or who are often told they look dull consider improving a bulbous nose.

Bulbous nose correction generally refers to

improving a shape where the nose tip looks

round and spread out, and the nostrils are

set wide apart left and right.

This problem usually does not suddenly appear

just because someone gained weight.

Rather, the shape and arrangement of the alar cartilages

that make up the nose have a greater influence.

If these are excessively developed

or spread outward to both sides,

the tip becomes wider and

the overall impression looks duller.

If the subcutaneous tissue or fat layer is

also thick, the blunt impression

becomes even more pronounced.

For this reason, some people seek bulbous nose correction

because the entire face looks flat

and lacks definition.

Of course, many first think about the burden

of the procedure itself.

But in reality, it is often performed under

local or sleep anesthesia, so you can

set aside some of that worry.

Hospitalization is not necessary,

so going home the same day is possible,

and the return to daily life is relatively quick.

The stitches at the incision site are usually

removed after 5 to 7 days,

and the aftercare is not complicated.

In other words, there is no need to be overly afraid.

Usually, when the entire nose feels large

and heavy compared with the face,

or when the nose tip looks low and blunt,

making the impression seem weak,

this surgical measure is considered necessary.

Cases where the nostrils are wide and the tip is

flat and spread out, making the nose look

even larger from the front, are also included.

The individual’s aesthetic preference

is also one of the key criteria.

What matters is that the cause of these concerns

differs from person to person.

Because the procedure method changes depending on

whether the issue is cartilage, skin, fat, or something else,

a thorough pre-procedure examination

must come first.

If it is determined that the main cause is

the alar cartilages spreading outward left and right,

they are corrected by bringing them toward

the center and suturing them in place.

Because the lower part of the cartilage is

connected to the septum, doing this allows

the nose tip to naturally turn upward.

With this process alone, a substantial improvement

in the spread of the tip can be expected.

If you also want a result that raises the tip further,

autologous cartilage can be additionally used

to reinforce support.

Because this is your own tissue,

the risk of rejection is relatively low.

There are also many cases where the problem

is caused not by the alar cartilages,

but by thick skin and subcutaneous tissue.

In such cases, rather than excessively

manipulating the cartilage, the approach is to

appropriately remove fat and unnecessary tissue

from the nose tip.

However, excessive removal can affect blood flow,

so controlling the amount is very important.

Only the necessary amount should be removed,

and the tissue should be guided to contract naturally

so that the tip can finally look slimmer.

Rather than making an excessive change,

this can help those who simply want a softer impression.

However, whichever approach is chosen,

you should not forget the preparation steps

that must be followed before bulbous nose correction.

First, if you regularly take medication,

have specific allergies, or have had prior

anesthesia experience, be sure to inform the medical staff.

If you have high blood pressure or diabetes,

as well as heart, lung, or liver-related diseases,

please mention them in advance without hiding anything.

As a rule, alcohol, smoking, health supplements,

and aspirin-based medications should be stopped

starting one week before the procedure.

In addition, from 6 hours before,

all food and drinks, including water,

must be restricted.

For 1 to 2 days immediately after the procedure,

there may be a small amount of bleeding

or some discharge.

At this time, do not touch the inside of the nose

or wipe it firmly; it is recommended to

gently blot it with gauze or clean tissue.

Using the cold pack provided,

applying cold compresses for the first three days

can also help reduce swelling.

After that, warm compresses are also used

to support healing.

The swelling may be severe for a few days,

so please sleep with your upper body slightly raised.

From the day after the stitches are removed,

light washing and makeup are possible,

but glasses should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks.

Lastly, let me tell you the criteria for choosing

where to undergo this surgical procedure.

This is not simply a process of making the nose

look prettier; it is important to have the ability

to design a line that harmonizes with the entire face.

Accordingly, it is recommended to check whether

medical staff with extensive clinical experience

personally participate from the initial consultation

to the actual procedure.

Whether CCTV is installed to ensure transparency,

and whether a system is in place for emergencies,

are also important points.

If an anesthesiology and pain medicine specialist is on site,

that would be even better.

Because this can also be described as

reworking the overall impression of the face,

the medical institution’s system and

aftercare method should be considered

just as important as the bulbous nose correction method.

That is why the environment at Miho,

which monitors each biometric signal in real time

through a central monitoring system and

adopts a real-name system so that medical staff

in each field take responsibility for the entire process,

can be seen as an advantage.

If you are concerned about the impression caused

by the shape of your nose,

rather than deciding hastily, please visit once,

find the direction that suits you,

and prepare thoroughly.
