Can a Bulbous Nose Be Corrected with Ear Cartilage? + Removing Nose Filler

Hello, this is BT Plastic Surgery!

There are times when concerns about the shape of the nose can become more serious, right?

Especially if you have a bulbous nose that looks blunt and rounded, and there is still nose filler left from a previous procedure...

Every time you look in the mirror, you may not like the bridge or tip of your nose,

and the uneven line can make your overall impression look heavy.

In cases like this, many people consider removing the filler and correcting the bulbous nose at the same time.

But then questions come up, such as, “Is it okay to have surgery right after removing the filler?”

and “Why is ear cartilage used?”

Today, we’ll try to answer these questions 🖐🏻

Bulbous Nose: Why Does It Happen?

A bulbous nose refers to a nose tip that looks round and spread out.

There are two main causes.

✔️ Thick skin and well-developed sebaceous glands

✔️ Nasal tip cartilage that is spread apart or has a blunt shape

Simply raising the height is not enough to improve it,

and the cartilage needs to be repositioned and refined to create a slimmer look.

Is Filler Removal Necessary?

When nose filler remains for a long time,

it can cause problems such as a spread-out or crooked shape, a hard foreign-body sensation, skin discoloration, or swelling.

In particular, if plastic surgery is performed while filler is still present,

the postoperative shape may become distorted or the risk of inflammation may increase,

so filler removal comes first.

Why Ear Cartilage Is Suitable for Tip Surgery

Ear cartilage is often used for nasal tip support for the following reasons.

✔️ Soft and natural feel

✔️ High safety

✔️ Good shape stability over time

In particular, when the skin is thick or cartilage correction is needed, as in a bulbous nose,

it greatly helps support the nasal tip and create a nice angle.

The surgery takes about 1 to 2 hours,

and you can go home right away without needing to be hospitalized.
