Can donated rib cartilage nose surgery improve a bulbous nose and the nasolabial angle, too?

Hello, this is BT Plastic Surgery😊

When planning nose surgery, one of the concerns many people have is

the issue of a bulbous nose and the nasolabial angle.

These two issues are difficult to resolve with silicone insertion alone,

so an accurate diagnosis and structural correction are needed.

In particular, when there is not enough autologous cartilage or structural support is needed,

donated rib cartilage can be an effective solution.

What is a bulbous nose?

Bulbous nose: a nose tip that looks blunt and broadly spread out

This is commonly seen when the skin is thick or the nasal tip cartilages are large and spread outward.

Tie together and narrow the spread nasal tip cartilages,

and partially remove unnecessary fat and soft tissue to reduce thickness

A bulbous nose is not only an aesthetic issue.

If tip support weakens, the shape may collapse or spread over time,

so it is important to firmly establish the supporting structure. What is the nasolabial angle?

The nasolabial angle is the angle formed by the columella and the upper lip.

If this angle is too large, it can create a snub-nosed appearance, and if too small, the face may look heavy.

In general, the ideal nasolabial angle is considered to be

Men: about 90–90 degrees

Women: about 95–105 degrees

If the nasolabial angle is upturned,

a cartilage support strut is inserted to lower the columella,

and the rotation angle of the nose tip is adjusted to soften the overall impression.

Why use donated rib cartilage?

When building up or supporting the nose tip structure,

ear cartilage or septal cartilage alone may not provide enough strength or quantity.

In such cases, donated rib cartilage becomes an alternative.

Advantages of donated rib cartilage

• No incision scar compared with autologous rib cartilage

• Strong support and shape retention

• Processed into a consistent size and shape for convenient use

• Sterilized and processed to help keep infection and absorption rates low, ensuring safety

In particular, when structural reinforcement of the nose tip is needed, such as in a bulbous nose,

or when precise angle adjustment is needed, such as in nasolabial angle correction,

donated rib cartilage can help produce precise and stable results.

To summarize,

✓ A bulbous nose requires not just raising the nose tip, but also refining and tying the cartilage structure

✓ The nasolabial angle affects the overall facial image, so angle adjustment is important

✓ Donated rib cartilage can be used as a suitable material for nose tip support and angle correction

✓ It can also be a good alternative when autologous tissue is insufficient or scars are a concern

Bulbous nose correction and nasolabial angle correction using donated rib cartilage

are surgeries that focus not simply on height adjustment, but on facial harmony and structural stability.

With an accurate diagnosis and surgical plan,

a more balanced and natural result can be expected.

After sufficient consultation with a specialist, choose the method that is right for you.

The surgery takes about 1 to 2 hours,

and you can go home immediately without being admitted. Gangnam nose surgery clinic

Before surgery, a low-dose 3D CT scan is performed

to closely assess and diagnose the patient’s nasal condition. Gangnam nose surgery clinic
