The Transformation of a Low Bulbous Nose!
A 20-year-old female patient achieves a sophisticated, slim nose profile through bulbous nose correction and bridge enhancement.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# The bridge is low and uneven due to a hump.
# The tip is rounded, characteristic of a ‘bulbous nose’.
* Consultation
# In the past, a bulbous nose was called a ‘lucky nose’, but because it lacks a sophisticated look, many people seek improvement these days.
# Because the nose is low, the face appears flatter and larger than it actually is.
# I believe we can achieve a satisfying nasal line by slimming down the tip while raising and smoothing the bridge line.
* Surgical Plan
# Tip Plasty (Bulbous Nose Correction)
# Rhinoplasty (Silicone implant, hump reduction)
* Post-operative Progress
1. The septal cartilage was harvested while preserving the structure, and the nasal tip was shaped using both the septum and ear cartilage. As a result, a natural yet sharp ‘straight-semi-basal’ line was achieved.
2. Now that the bulbous nose has been corrected, the overall impression looks much more refined :)

Frequently Asked Questions
How is a bulbous nose correction performed?
Bulbous nose correction is performed through tip plasty. In this case, the nasal septum and ear cartilage were used to create the nasal tip, resulting in a natural yet sharp, semi-upward curved tip.
Can a low nasal bridge and a hooked nose be improved together?
Yes, they can be improved together. In this case, along with tip plasty, nasal bridge augmentation was performed using silicone implants to raise the bridge and refine the hump, creating a smooth line.
How can my impression change after rhinoplasty?
After rhinoplasty, your impression can become more refined. In this case, after bulbous nose correction, the overall impression was evaluated as much more sophisticated.
What materials are used for rhinoplasty?
Various materials can be used for rhinoplasty. In this case, the nasal septum and ear cartilage were used for tip plasty, and a silicone implant was used for nasal bridge augmentation.
How long should I monitor the progress after surgery?
In this case, the changed appearance could be confirmed through photos taken 2 months after the surgery. Recovery period and progress may vary for each individual, so consultation with medical staff is necessary.
Who should perform rhinoplasty?
It is important to consult and undergo surgery with a board-certified plastic surgeon for rhinoplasty. It is recommended to have the procedure performed by a specialist with extensive experience.
