Bulbous Nose Rhinoplasty: Creating a Refined Nose and Impression

<DM Plastic Surgery actual rhinoplasty case>

The nose, which is located at the center of the face, can greatly improve the overall impression with even small changes.

Among these, the bulbous nose introduced today was traditionally not easily altered because it was believed in physiognomy to bring good fortune, harmonious relationships, and wealth. However, because it can look blunt or wide, it is difficult to create a refined impression, and in modern society, where a slim and sophisticated look is preferred, more people consider it a complex and seek improvement.

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

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

Since it is one of the most common nose types among East Asians, understanding the complex causes makes it possible to improve it into a slimmer nose. For those with a bulbous nose, let’s look at what surgical methods can help improve it into a higher and more refined impression 😉

What is a bulbous nose?

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

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

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

To correct a bulbous nose, balance the face, and improve it naturally without looking artificial, it is important to consult with specialist medical staff who have excellent aesthetic sense and extensive clinical experience.

No matter how beautiful someone else’s nose may be, in the end it must suit you in order to achieve a natural and harmonious result. And because the surgical method differs depending on the condition of each person’s nose, it is most important to carefully examine and confirm multiple factors and then find the appropriate surgical method for the current condition.

What are the surgical methods by bulbous nose type?

If you are stressed by a wide and plump nose, this can be overcome through bulbous nose surgery!

Type with developed alar cartilage After removing part of the enlarged cartilage, the separated area is stitched together with thread to bring it inward. If a firm support is created using your own tissue, the tip of the nose becomes more prominent, The nostrils become longer, creating the effect of a narrower-looking tip.

Type with separated alar cartilage After shaping the alar cartilage, the left and right sides are sutured together and gathered, causing the lower connected septum to naturally move upward, creating a higher bridge effect.

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

Simply changing the size of the nose does not guarantee the desired result; the key is to identify the problematic areas and determine whether improvement can be centered around those areas. Even if a certain method is excellent, it may not be suitable for you, so individual characteristics must be identified and customized surgery performed to achieve positive results.

Also, during the process of gathering the cartilage, the tip of the nose may appear pinched. We ask that you have surgery performed by rhinoplasty specialists who have extensive experience with various cases and a deep knowledge of facial anatomy.
