A case study of a teenage female who achieved a refined, feminine nose profile through no-implant rhinoplasty focusing on bulbous tip correction.
* Basic Information
# Female in her teens
# Bulbous and low nasal tip
* Consultation
1. The patient’s primary concerns were a bulbous nasal tip and a low profile that lacked a sharp, defined extension.
2. Since the nasal bridge was already sufficiently high, a no-implant surgery was planned.
* Surgical Plan
1. Nasal Tip Surgery
- Septal Cartilage: Septal extension graft
- Ear Cartilage: Onlay graft
- Correction of bulbous and low nasal tip
* Post-operative Progress
1. The post-operative results show a nasal tip that is both natural and well-defined.
2. By correcting the low, bulbous tip, a more feminine and sophisticated nose was achieved, leading to high patient satisfaction.
3. In cases where the nasal bridge is already high enough, a natural nose line can be created without the use of artificial implants.
