Low Hump Nose and Bulbous Nose Correction

* Basic Information

# 20s Female

# Stressed due to a low nasal bridge combined with a bulbous nose.

* Consultation

# The patient visited to seek correction for a bulbous nose. While it was traditionally called a ‘lucky nose’ in the past, many people now wish to improve it because it can give a blunt or heavy impression.

# We expect 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 through columella lengthening will likely create a more sophisticated look.

* Surgical Plan

# Tip Plasty (Bulbous nose correction, Columella lengthening)

# Rhinoplasty (Hump correction, Silicone implant, Osteotomy)

* Post-operative Findings

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

# Since these factors usually occur in combination, it is best to correct each factor appropriately. This involves sculpting the skin and soft tissue to be thinner and refining the cartilage to create a sharp shape.

# Creating an ideal nasolabial angle through columella lengthening has resulted in a much more sophisticated appearance.

Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery depending on the individual, and caution is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of bulbous noses are there?

Yes, bulbous noses can be broadly divided into three types. First, when the skin is thick; second, when the soft tissue, such as subcutaneous fat, is thick; and third, when the cartilage is spread out and wide. Often, these types appear in combination.

How is bulbous nose correction performed?

Bulbous nose correction is customized according to complex causes. If the skin and soft tissue are thick, they are sculpted and thinned; if the cartilage is wide or spread out, it is gathered to create a sharp shape.

How can a hooked nose and a low nose bridge be improved?

A hooked nose can be smoothly refined through humpectomy, and a low nose bridge can be elevated and refined by inserting silicone implants and performing osteotomy.

What are the effects of columella reduction?

Columella reduction helps create an ideal nasolabial angle by correcting a retracted columella. This improves the angle between the nose and lips, giving an overall more refined impression.

What side effects can occur after nose surgery?

After nose surgery, complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur. These side effects can vary from person to person, so sufficient consultation and caution are required before surgery.
