Correction of Low & Bulbous Nose, Alar Reduction

* Basic Information

# Female in her 20s

# The nose is low and looks bumpy due to a dorsal hump.

# Stressed about having a bulbous nose.

* Consultation

# The patient visited to correct her bulbous nose. In the past, a bulbous nose was called a ‘lucky nose’ because it was thought to bring fortune, but nowadays many people want to improve it because it gives a blunt impression. Since the nasal wings were also quite flared, we planned an alar reduction together.

# I believe we can achieve a satisfying nose line by refining the tip to be slimmer while raising and smoothing the bridge line.

# The columella is quite retracted. Correcting the nasolabial angle by pulling out the columella will make the look more sophisticated.

* Plan

# Nasal Tip Surgery (Bulbous nose correction, columella lengthening)

# Nasal Bridge Surgery (Hump correction, silicone implant)

# Alar Reduction

* Post-operative Findings

# There are several types of bulbous noses: 1. Thick skin 2. Thick soft tissue (subcutaneous fat, etc.) 3. Splayed and wide cartilage.

# Since these factors usually occur in combination, it is best to correct each factor appropriately. We sculpt the skin and soft tissue to make them thinner, and extend the cartilage to create a sharp shape.

# Before surgery, the nasal tip was drooping and the columella looked recessed, right? However, by using the septum to pull out the columella, the nasolabial angle was restored, making the line connecting the nose to the philtrum look much more sophisticated and beautiful.
