Bulbous Nose Surgery: From a Dull Impression to a Refined One!

<Actual rhinoplasty case at DM Plastic Surgery>

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

Among them, the bulbous nose introduced today has traditionally been thought, in physiognomy, to bring good fortune because it is said to be favorable for interpersonal relationships and financial luck, so people have been reluctant to alter it. However, because it tends to look blunt or wide, it is difficult to create a refined image, and in modern society, where slim and sophisticated features are preferred, more people are considering improvement as it is often seen as a complex.

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

Because the effect is temporary, 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, and because a bulbous nose can be improved into a slimmer nose by identifying multiple underlying causes, let’s take a look at what surgical methods can help those with a bulbous nose achieve a higher, more refined impression 😉

What Is a Bulbous Nose?

A bulbous nose refers to a nose with thick skin and a thick fat layer, with a rounded and spread-out nasal tip.

It usually has a blunt shape, and the skin at the nasal tip is thick, with cartilage that is also often thick and large.

In such cases, the enlarged tissue can be reduced to correct the shape of the nasal tip and improve it into a slimmer nose!

Recommended for These Types!

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

and to balance the face through bulbous nose correction while improving it naturally in a non-artificial way,

it is important to consult with a specialized 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.

Since the surgical method differs depending on the condition of each person’s nose, it is most important to carefully examine and confirm 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 plump nose,

it can be improved through bulbous nose surgery!

Nasal alar cartilage overdevelopment type

After removing part of the enlarged cartilage, the widened area is stitched together with sutures and brought toward the center.

When a firm support is created using autologous tissue, the nasal tip becomes more prominent,

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

Type with separated alar cartilage

After reshaping the alar cartilage, the left and right sides are stitched together and tied into place,

allowing the lower connected septum to naturally move upward, creating a more prominent nose.

Type with thick subcutaneous fat

When 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

For those who want to improve a large and wide nose,

please pay attention to DM Plastic Surgery, which has a high satisfaction rate for bulbous nose surgery!

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 nasal bridge should be 70–80% of the width of the nostrils, and ideally the width of the nostrils should be 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, a customized plan can be established to achieve highly satisfying results.

Simply changing the size of the nose does not guarantee the desired result; the key is to identify the problematic area and see whether surgery can be focused on that area.

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

In addition, during the process of bringing the cartilage together, there is also the possibility of ending up with a pinched-looking nasal tip.

We therefore urge you to receive surgery from a rhinoplasty specialist with extensive experience in a variety of cases and a deep understanding of facial anatomy.

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

Rhinoplasty is most importantly about creating a harmonious nose shape while considering each individual’s facial features,

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