<Actual rhinoplasty case from DM Plastic Surgery>

The nose, which is located at the center of the face, can greatly improve your overall appearance with even a small change.

Among them, the bulbous nose introduced today was traditionally not easily altered because it was thought to bring good fortune due to smooth relationships and good wealth luck in physiognomy, but because it is blunt or broad, it is difficult to create a refined image, and in modern society, where slim and sophisticated impressions are preferred, it is increasingly being seen as a complex, leading more people to consider improvement.

Even if you try to make a broad nose look slimmer with nose contouring makeup and similar methods, there are limits.

Because the effect is only temporary, visits for a surgical solution have been steadily increasing. As one of the most common nose types among East Asians, it can be improved into a slimmer nose by identifying the complex causes.

If you have a bulbous nose, let’s look at what surgical methods can help improve it into a higher, more refined impression 😉

What is a bulbous nose?

A bulbous nose refers to a nose with thick skin and a thick layer of fat, and a rounded, broad nasal tip.

It usually has a blunt shape, with thick skin at the tip and often thick, large cartilage as well. In such cases, the enlarged tissue can be reduced to correct the shape of the tip and improve it into a slimmer nose!

Recommended for people with the following type!

If you match the type above, you have a bulbous nose.

To balance the face through bulbous nose correction and improve it naturally in a way that does not look artificial, it is essential to consult with a medical team that has excellent aesthetic sense and abundant clinical experience.

No matter how beautiful someone else’s nose shape may be, in the end it must suit you to achieve a natural and harmonious result. Also, the surgical method differs depending on each person’s nasal condition, so after carefully examining and checking multiple factors, it is most important to find the proper surgical method that fits your current condition.

What are the surgical methods by bulbous nose type?

If you are stressed because of a broad and plump nose, correction through bulbous nose surgery is possible!

Alar cartilage development type Part of the enlarged cartilage is removed, and the separated area is sutured with thread to bring it together toward the center. If a firm support is created using autologous tissue, the nasal tip becomes even higher, and the nostril bulge becomes longer, creating the effect of a narrower nasal tip.

Type with separated alar cartilage After refining the shape of the alar cartilage, the left and right sides are sutured and brought together. As the lower connected septum naturally moves upward, it creates a higher nasal tip.

Type with thick subcutaneous fat If the subcutaneous fat is removed first, the skin at the nasal tip contracts and becomes slimmer. If the nasal tip is very low or the bridge needs to be raised, autologous tissue grafting is recommended.

DM’s bulbous nose & large nose surgery

If you want to improve a large, broad nose, please pay attention to DM Plastic Surgery, which has a high satisfaction rate for bulbous nose surgery!

Because the nose affects the overall facial line from the forehead to the chin, a surgical plan must be established in harmony with the proportions of the facial features. The ideal width of the nasal bridge is about 70–80% of the width of the alar base, and the width of the alar base should ideally be the same as the distance between the eyes and the distance from the outer corner of the eye to the ear. Through充分 one-on-one consultation with a plastic surgery specialist with abundant clinical experience, a customized plan can be established to achieve highly satisfying results.

Simply changing the size of the nose will not necessarily produce the desired result; the key is to identify the problematic areas and focus on whether they can be addressed. Even if a certain method is excellent, it may not be suitable for everyone, so positive results can be achieved only by understanding each individual’s characteristics and performing customized surgery.

Also, because the process of bringing cartilage together can sometimes lead to a pinched appearance at the nasal tip, we urge you to undergo surgery with a rhinoplasty specialist who has extensive surgical experience across various cases and a strong understanding of facial anatomy. At DM Plastic Surgery, the specialists directly participate in every step of the process and pursue natural-looking changes.

Rhinoplasty is most important when creating a harmonious nose shape that takes each person’s facial features into consideration, so please visit our clinic and receive one-on-one consultation.
