Before-and-After Differences in Bulbous Nose Tip Surgery! The Importance of Proportion and Structure Found at 코원성형외과

Hello, I am Director Hyung-taek Kim of 코원성형외과.

The person I would like to introduce this time had a bulbous nose with a very wide, spread-out tip that made the nose look blunt.

In addition, the bridge of the nose itself was quite low, making the central axis of the entire face appear weak and giving the overall facial features a dull impression.

In this case, bulbous nose tip surgery could be considered essential.

If the internal structure of a nose like this is properly organized,

it can become a very good foundation for creating a much more refined, well-defined, and attractive nose line.

First, the skin itself was not excessively thick, allowing it to naturally adhere to the skeletal structure changed through surgery.

Moreover, since the basic framework of the nasal bridge was not particularly poor, narrowing only the spread-out areas through bulbous nose tip surgery could create a sufficiently slender effect without looking unnatural.

However, one important point to keep in mind is that simply making minor adjustments to the skin at the tip of the nose is not enough.

At 코원성형외과, we recommend an approach that adjusts the height of the nasal bridge and the proportions of the nasal tip at the same time to establish overall balance.

For this case, we performed cartilage repositioning, cartilage suturing, and soft-tissue removal, which are key techniques in bulbous nose tip surgery.

Through septal extension, we created a firm support between the nasal tip cartilages, establishing a stable column so that the tip would not sink or spread again over time.

At the same time, we gave the nasal bridge an appropriate height that suited the patient's midface proportions, clearly establishing the center of the face.

We designed the nose so that the line extending to the tip would connect more smoothly and naturally.

[Case Reference]

Some people occasionally want to undergo bulbous nose tip surgery alone, without an implant.

However, when the nasal bridge itself is low, the extent of visual improvement is inevitably limited when the procedure is performed without an implant alone.

For this reason, a clear and balanced line can only be completed by adding an appropriate amount of height to the nasal bridge that harmonizes with the patient's facial shape.

As a result, using an appropriate implant to correct the line of the nasal bridge is a reliable way to improve the overall quality of the before-and-after change.

Rather than insisting unconditionally on a procedure without an implant, it is most important to choose an option suited to the nose's original structure.

As a result, the previously stuffy and wide-looking nose was neatly refined.

The center line of the nose became much more prominent, creating a successful transformation into a more sophisticated and refined nose line.

[The Director's Note]

The key point of the case reviewed today was not simply reducing the size of the nasal tip. It was to create a nose line that remains stable over the long term through cartilage repositioning and the establishment of a supporting structure using septal extension.

When creating a surgical plan, I believe it is most important to consider not only the immediately visible shape of the nasal tip, but also the skin thickness, the supporting strength of the existing cartilage, and the three-dimensional proportions of the entire face.

I avoid unnecessary incisions and excessive use of implants, focusing instead on creating natural and stable changes suited to each individual's nasal structure.

In particular, if you are considering bulbous nose tip surgery, I recommend discussing in sufficient detail not only how much to raise the height, but also what internal structure will firmly support the nasal tip.
