Bulbous Nose Surgery: Make a Dull-looking Image Trendy!

<DM Plastic Surgery actual rhinoplasty case>

Because the nose is located at the center of the face, even a small change can greatly improve the overall impression.

Among them, the bulbous nose introduced today was traditionally thought to bring good fortune and was not easily altered because it was believed to be associated with good relationships and financial luck. However, because it looks blunt or wide, it is difficult to create a refined image, and in modern society, where slim and sophisticated impressions are preferred, more people are considering improvement as a concern.

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. Since it is one of the most common nose types among East Asians, we will look at the various causes and how it can be improved into a slimmer nose. If you have a bulbous nose, let’s find out what surgical methods can help create a more defined and sophisticated impression 😉

What is a bulbous nose?

A bulbous nose refers to a nose with thick skin and fat tissue, and a round, spread-out nasal tip shape.

It usually has a blunt nose 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 nasal tip and improve it into a slimmer nose!

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

To balance the face through bulbous nose correction and improve it naturally without looking artificial, it is important to consult a medical team with excellent aesthetic sense and extensive clinical experience.

No matter how attractive someone else’s nose shape may be, in the end it must suit ‘me’ in order to achieve a natural and harmonious result. Because the surgical method differs depending on the individual condition of the nose, it is most important to carefully examine and confirm multiple factors before finding the appropriate procedure for the current condition.

What are the surgical methods by bulbous nose type?

If you are stressed because of a wide and full nose, bulbous nose surgery can help improve it!

Alar cartilage overdeveloped type After removing part of the enlarged cartilage, the separated area is sutured and gathered toward the center. If a firm support is created using autologous tissue, the tip of the nose becomes more defined, and the nostrils appear longer, creating the effect of a narrower nasal tip.

Type with spread alar cartilage After refining the shape of the alar cartilage, the left and right sides are sutured together and drawn in, while the septum connected below naturally rises upward, creating a more defined effect.

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 significantly low or the bridge needs to be raised, autologous tissue grafting is recommended.

If you want to improve a large and wide nose, please pay attention to DM Plastic Surgery, where bulbous nose surgery has a high satisfaction rate!

The nose is an area that affects the overall facial line from the forehead to the chin, so the surgical plan should be established to match the proportions and harmony of the features. The ideal width of the nasal bridge is 70–80% of the width of the nostrils, and the width of the nostrils is most ideal when it matches 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, a customized plan can be established and highly satisfying results can be achieved.

Simply changing the size of the nose does not guarantee the desired result. The important thing is to identify the problematic areas and determine whether surgery can focus on those areas. Even if a certain method is excellent, it may not be suitable for you, so personalized surgery based on individual characteristics is necessary to achieve positive results.

In addition, during the process of bringing the cartilage together, the tip of the nose may appear pinched, so we recommend surgery from a rhinoplasty specialist with extensive surgical experience in various cases and a deep knowledge of facial anatomy. At DM Plastic Surgery, the specialist medical team directly participates in every step and pursues natural-looking changes.

In rhinoplasty, it is most important to create a harmonious nose shape that considers each person’s features, so please visit our clinic and receive a one-on-one consultation.
