Q. After having surgery for a deviated septum, I’m worried about a bulbous nose and considering male rhinoplasty.

Hello, I’m Director Kim Hyung-taek of Kowon Plastic Surgery.

The nose is an important area that is responsible for both function and appearance, so even small changes can be a concern for many people.

In particular, a crooked nose, a nose that appears to have wide nostrils, or male rhinoplasty, which many men seek out,

requires consideration of breathing and overall harmony, not just changes in appearance.

In the consultation process, I try to listen carefully to the areas where the patient feels discomfort,

and explain the surgical method and the direction of the outcome as clearly as possible.

Today, based on an actual inquiry,

I will calmly answer questions about crooked nose surgery, nostril reduction, and male rhinoplasty.

I have a question about crooked nose surgery.

I injured my nose when I was young, so I think its shape changed over time, and my rhinitis has recently become severe, so I previously had surgery for a deviated septum. However, aesthetically, my nostrils look too blunt, so I’m also considering nostril reduction.

My questions are as follows.

1. I want to know whether my nose actually falls under the category of a crooked nose. (Based on a photo taken long after my deviated septum surgery.)

2. If I consider bulbous nose surgery or male rhinoplasty, about how much would it cost?

3. I’m wondering whether an ENT clinic can perform not only functional procedures but also aesthetic nostril reduction or bulbous nose surgery.

4. I sometimes see talk about rhinoplasty events, and I’d like to know whether there are any realistically reasonable options.

I’ve heard that male rhinoplasty for men should consider both function and appearance, and I’d like to know whether, in my case too, it would be right to combine crooked nose surgery with nostril reduction.

Hello. I’m Kim Hyung-taek, a plastic surgery consultant on HiDoc-Naver Knowledge iN.

1. Is this a crooked nose? (Photographed long after surgery for a deviated septum)

It is difficult to say accurately from the photo alone, but overall it does not look severely crooked. However, the tip of the nose may appear to be slightly deviated, so it may fall within the category of crooked nose surgery. In particular, if you have a history of septal surgery, the structure can change a little over time. Even among men, these kinds of cases often come up during male rhinoplasty consultations, and the direction of the nose tip and overall balance need to be checked in person.

2. How much does it cost?

It is difficult to provide a specific cost online. The range of correction needed differs from person to person, so in some cases only nostril reduction is needed, while in others crooked nose surgery and tip correction must be performed together. In particular, male rhinoplasty can have different costs depending on the plan because structural characteristics differ.

3. Can this be done aesthetically at an ENT clinic?

Yes, there are ENT clinics that perform both functional correction and external shape correction of the nose. However, not every clinic works the same way, so if you want an aesthetic procedure such as bulbous nose surgery or nostril reduction, you need to check whether it is available there. For male rhinoplasty, which many men seek out, an approach that considers both function and aesthetics is important.

4. About rhinoplasty events or recommendations

It is difficult to recommend specific event prices or specific places online. It would be best to receive an in-person consultation, evaluate your current condition, and confirm which method is appropriate among crooked nose surgery, nostril reduction, or male rhinoplasty. Depending on the situation, simply reducing the nostrils may improve the impression, and in some cases the crooked nose must be corrected together with tip correction, so you should decide the direction through an in-person consultation.

In summary, the current appearance does not look severely crooked, but the direction of the nose tip does seem slightly off, and it can be approached within the scope of crooked nose surgery, nostril reduction, and, if necessary, male rhinoplasty. It is advisable to determine the appropriate method after an in-person evaluation.

I hope you get a good result. Thank you.

The surgery was basically performed using ear cartilage and silicone, and correction of the deviated septum was also carried out at the same time.

Because there are various causes of rhinitis,

it cannot be stated that rhinitis surgery = deviated septum surgery,

but in many cases, improvement is often observed after correction of the deviated septum.

In addition, to improve the part where the nasal tip is drooping downward,

the depressor septi nasi correction was also performed.

This is a before-and-after view from the front.

You can see that the part where the nasal tip was deviated to one side has been corrected to the center.

The change is especially clearer when viewed from below.

From the side, you can see that the overly exposed nostrils before surgery

have been improved naturally.

By lengthening the septum at the nasal tip to secure enough length,

the nasal tip line was stabilized.
