The nose, 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 is believed in physiognomy to bring good fortune through harmonious relationships and wealth.
However, because it can look blunt or wide and is difficult to give a refined image, more and more people in modern society, where slim and sophisticated impressions are preferred, are considering improvement as a concern.

Even if you try to make a wide nose look slimmer with nose contouring makeup, there are limits.
Since the effect is only temporary, more and more people are visiting for surgical improvement.
As one of the most common nose types among East Asians, it can be improved into a slimmer nose by identifying the complex causes.
For those with a bulbous nose, let’s take a look at what surgical methods can 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 nose tip that is round and spread out.
It usually has a blunt shape, with thick skin at the tip and often thick, large cartilage.
In such cases, excess tissue can be reduced and the shape of the tip corrected to improve it into a slimmer nose!

If you fit the types above, it falls under a bulbous nose.
To balance the face through bulbous nose correction and improve it naturally in a non-artificial way,
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 to achieve 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 check various factors before finding the appropriate surgical method for your current condition.
What Are the Surgical Methods by Bulbous Nose Type?


If you are stressed by a wide and bulky nose,
you may overcome it through bulbous nose surgery!
Alar cartilage overdevelopment type
After removing part of the enlarged cartilage, the separated area is sutured with thread and brought toward the center.
If an autologous tissue support is used to create a firm support, the nose tip becomes higher,
and the nostril base becomes longer, creating the effect of a narrower nose tip.
Type with separated alar cartilage
After refining the shape of the alar cartilage, the left and right sides are sutured together and brought in.
As the lower connected septum naturally rises upward, it creates a more elevated nose tip.
Thick subcutaneous fat type
If the subcutaneous fat is removed first, the skin at the nose tip contracts and becomes slimmer.
If the nose tip is very low or the bridge needs to be raised, autologous tissue grafting is recommended.

the width of the alar base should match the distance between the eyes and the distance from the outer corner of the eyes to the ears.

Changing only the size of the nose does not guarantee the desired result; you need to identify the problematic area and focus on whether treatment can be centered on that area.
No matter how excellent a method may be, it may not be suitable for you, so personalized surgery should be performed based on each individual’s characteristics to achieve positive results.
Also, during the process of bringing the cartilage together, you may end up with a pinched-looking nose tip,
so we urge you to undergo surgery with a nose surgery specialist who has extensive surgical experience in various cases and rich knowledge of facial contour anatomy.
At DM Plastic Surgery, our specialist medical team directly participates in every step and pursues natural-looking changes.

Rhinoplasty is most important when creating a harmonious nose shape,
taking each person’s facial features into consideration.
