Refined Facial Contours with Hump Nose & Bulbous Nose Correction and Full-Face Fat Grafting :)
This 30s female patient sought to correct her low, droopy, and bumpy nose, along with a flat face due to lack of volume. We planned a bulbous nose correction, ideal nasolabial angle, hump correction, and full-face fat grafting to achieve a more refined and立体 appearance.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 30s
# Low, droopy nasal tip and unevenness due to a hump nose
# Flat facial shape due to insufficient facial volume
* Consultation
# The patient's biggest stress was her low and droopy nasal tip, which made her face appear less three-dimensional than it actually was. We planned to create a nasal tip with an ideal nasolabial angle along with bulbous nose correction.
# We also decided to address the unevenness caused by the hump on the bridge of her nose.
# Her forehead was uneven, and the lack of facial volume made her face appear longer. To overcome these drawbacks, we planned full-face fat grafting.
* Plan
# Nasal Bridge Augmentation
- Hump correction
- Silicone implant
# Nasal Tip Augmentation
- Septal extension graft
- Nasolabial angle correction
- Bulbous nose correction
# Full-Face Fat Grafting
* Post-operative Progress
1. In the post-operative progress, a natural yet prominent nasal tip was achieved, with the nostrils not overly visible, as requested.
2. With the improved nasolabial angle, the line connecting the nose to the philtrum became more refined and beautiful.
3. The wide nasal bridge became narrower and higher, drawing attention to the center, which created a three-dimensional effect on the previously flat-looking face and made the face appear smaller, much to the patient's satisfaction.
4. By creating overall facial volume through full-face fat grafting, a much more natural and ideal facial shape and nose line can be achieved.
Consultation and surgery should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a hooked nose and a bulbous nose be corrected simultaneously?
Yes, it is possible. The patient in this case underwent bridge augmentation for hooked nose correction and tip plasty for bulbous nose correction, improving both the uneven bridge and low nasal tip.
In what cases is full-face fat grafting considered?
Full-face fat grafting can be considered when there is a lack of facial volume, making the face appear flat or long. It helps create an ideal face shape by adding natural volume to the entire face.
What materials are used for rhinoplasty besides silicone implants?
In this case, a silicone implant was used for bridge augmentation, and septal extension graft was planned for tip plasty. This is utilized to adjust the shape and height of the nasal tip.
I'm worried about excessive nostril exposure after rhinoplasty.
In this case, a natural yet defined nasal tip was achieved after surgery, with minimal nostril show. It is important to plan your desired nose shape through thorough consultation with the medical staff.
What are the effects of nasolabial angle correction?
Nasolabial angle correction is a surgery that ideally adjusts the angle where the nose connects to the philtrum. In this case, by enhancing the nasolabial angle, the line from the nose to the philtrum became more refined and beautiful.
Does full-face fat grafting also have the effect of making the face look smaller?
Yes, it does. When volume is added to the entire face through full-face fat grafting, the previously flat face gains dimension, drawing attention to the center and creating the effect of a smaller face.
