Bulbous Nose Surgery: How to Improve a Round, Bulky Nose

<Examples of actual rhinoplasty cases at DM Plastic Surgery>

Because the nose is located at the center of the face, even small changes can greatly improve your overall appearance.

Among them, the bulbous nose introduced today was traditionally not something people tried to alter carelessly because it was thought in physiognomy to be associated with smooth relationships and good fortune.

However, because it can look blunt or overly wide, it is difficult to create a refined image, and in modern society, where a slim and sophisticated impression is preferred, more and more people consider it a complex and seek improvement.

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

Because the effect is temporary, more and more people are visiting clinics for a more complete improvement through surgery.

As one of the most common nose types among Asians, a bulbous nose can be improved into a slimmer shape by identifying the complex causes involved.

If you have a bulbous nose, let’s look at what kinds of surgical methods can help create a straighter, 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 tip that is round and spread out.

It usually has a blunt appearance, 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!

If you fall into the type shown above, it is a bulbous nose.

To balance the face through bulbous nose correction and improve it naturally without looking artificial,

it is essential to consult a specialist medical team with excellent aesthetic sense and extensive clinical experience.

No matter how beautiful someone else’s nose shape may be, in the end, it must suit “you” in order to create a natural and harmonious result.

Because the surgical method differs depending on each person’s nose condition, it is most important to carefully examine and confirm the various factors,

then find the appropriate surgical method that matches the current condition.

What Are the Surgical Methods by Bulbous Nose Type?

If you feel stressed because of a wide, puffy nose,

you can improve it through bulbous nose surgery!

Alar cartilage overdevelopment type

After removing part of the enlarged cartilage, the separated area is sutured with thread and gathered toward the center.

If a firm support is created using your own tissue, the tip of the nose becomes even straighter,

and the nostrils become longer, creating the effect of a narrower nasal tip.

Type with flared alar cartilage

After refining the shape of the alar cartilage, the left and right sides are sutured together and gathered,

allowing the connected lower septum to naturally move upward for a straighter effect.

Type with thick subcutaneous fat

If the subcutaneous fat is removed first, the skin at the tip of the nose shrinks and becomes slimmer.

If the nasal tip is very low or the bridge needs to be raised, we recommend grafting your own tissue.

DM’s Bulbous Nose & Large Nose Surgery

If you want to improve a large, wide nose,

please take note of DM Plastic Surgery, where satisfaction with bulbous nose surgery is high!

The nose is a feature that affects the overall facial line from the forehead to the chin,

so the surgical plan must be established in harmony with the proportions of the facial features.

The width of the bridge should be about 70–80% of the width of the nostrils, and the width of the nostrils is ideally the same as the distance between the eyes and the distance from the outer corner of the eye to the ear.

Through sufficient one-on-one consultation with a plastic surgery specialist with extensive clinical experience,

an individualized plan can be established to achieve highly satisfying results.

Simply changing the size of the nose does not guarantee the desired result; what matters is identifying the problematic areas and focusing the procedure on them.

No matter how excellent a method may be, it may not be suitable for you, so positive results can only be achieved by understanding each individual’s characteristics and performing customized surgery.

In addition, because gathering the cartilage can sometimes make the nasal tip look pinched,

we strongly recommend receiving surgery from a nose surgery specialist who has extensive experience with various cases and a deep understanding of facial anatomy.

At DM Plastic Surgery, the specialist medical team participates directly in every step of the process and pursues natural-looking changes.

Rhinoplasty is most important when it creates a harmonious nose shape while considering each person’s facial features,

so please visit our clinic and receive a one-on-one consultation.
