Q. When having bulbous nose surgery and nostril reduction, is cutting the alar rim enough? image 1

Hello, I’m Kim Hyung-taek, the chief director of Kowon Plastic Surgery, who helps boost confidence.

Today, I was asked by someone considering bulbous nose surgery who wanted nostril reduction and was curious whether it would be possible to do only alar rim cutting without an implant.

Q. When having bulbous nose surgery and nostril reduction, is cutting the alar rim enough?

I’m currently thinking about bulbous nose surgery, but I do not want to raise my nose.

The nose I want is a small, cute nose even if it is low. T_T

But my nose is already bulbous, and it is also crooked and has a hump, so it looks even bigger, which is incredibly stressful..

I do not want to insert an implant such as silicone, and I only want to reduce the nostrils and alar area. So I’m asking whether bulbous nose surgery is possible without an implant.

For reference, I am female!

You asked whether only cutting the alar rim is possible without an implant.

In bulbous nose surgery, it is possible to reduce the nostrils and alar area without silicone.

Many people undergo surgery to correct a humped nose or bulbous nose without implants such as silicone.

It is difficult to say because I cannot see the exact shape of your nose, but bulbous nose surgery can be performed with the alar rim cutting you want.

I hope this consultation answer was helpful.

Thank you.

This person had a depressed area between the eyebrows, a short and upturned nasal tip, and so on.

For the short bulbous nose, we performed J-curve philtrum line correction and surgery to improve the depressed area beside the nostrils and the upnose condition.

This is a bulbous nose with a lot of tissue at the tip, making it look blunt. After surgery, the tip area was improved to look higher and more refined.

Because of the low nasal bridge, the face looks flat. By raising the height of the nose, you can achieve a more three-dimensional side profile, and you may also get the effect of making the mouth that looked protruded appear more recessed.

If you have concerns about your nose, find a design that suits you through 충분한 consultation.

At Kowon Plastic Surgery, we strive to bring out not only your appearance but also your inner confidence through customized surgery.
