Bulbous Nose Rhinoplasty at VIBE Plastic Surgery!
A case study of a 20s female patient achieving a refined, straight-semi-basal nose line through bulbous nose correction and hump removal at VIBE Plastic Surgery.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Medical History: Previously received filler and Hiko (thread lift) treatments on the bridge, but the filler spread wide and the results were unsatisfactory.
# Goals: Desired to improve the uneven bridge caused by a hump and the blunt, bulbous tip.
* Consultation
# The patient wanted to correct the bumpy bridge line caused by a hump and the blunt appearance of her bulbous nose.
# We planned to create a smooth yet sharp ‘straight-semi-basal’ (straight-curved) line.
* Surgical Plan
1. Bridge Rhinoplasty
- Dissolving filler and removing foreign substances
- Hump correction
- Silicone implant
- Osteotomy
2. Tip Rhinoplasty
- Septal extension graft
- Bulbous nose & nasolabial angle correction
- Deviated nose correction
* Post-operative Progress
1. After smoothing the hump, an implant was used to create a sleek straight-semi-basal line.
2. Through bulbous nose correction, an overall slim and refined look was achieved.
3. Now that the lines are organized, a much more natural and sophisticated nose profile has been created ^^
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
