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.
