Natural Correction for a Bulbous Nose!
A case study of a 20s female patient undergoing bulbous nose correction, hump removal, and deviated nose surgery for a refined, sophisticated look.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Low bridge and bulbous nose tip
# Desires correction for a dorsal hump and a slightly deviated appearance of the bridge.
* Consultation
# The patient visited seeking correction for a bulbous nose. While traditionally called a ‘lucky nose’ in Korea, many people seek improvement because it can create a blunt or heavy impression.
# We determined that a satisfying nose line could be achieved by refining the tip to be slimmer while raising and smoothing the bridge line.
# While a completely deviated nasal axis cannot be perfectly straightened in all cases, we proceeded with the surgery while taking great care to ensure it does not appear more deviated post-operatively.
* Surgical Plan
# Tip Plasty
- Bulbous nose correction
- Nasolabial angle correction
# Rhinoplasty (Bridge)
- Hump reduction
- Deviated nose correction
- Silicone implant
* Post-operative Progress
# There are several types of bulbous noses: 1. Thick skin, 2. Thick soft tissue (subcutaneous fat, etc.), 3. Splayed or wide cartilage. Since these factors usually occur in combination, it is best to correct each factor appropriately. We sculpted the skin and soft tissue to be thinner and reshaped the cartilage to create a sharp, sleek look.
# We achieved an ideal tip angle. The tip looks much more defined when the nasolabial angle is properly supported. The importance of the nasolabial angle cannot be overemphasized!
# With the bulbous nose corrected, her overall impression has transformed into a more sophisticated look! I am glad the desired nose shape harmonizes so well with her entire face. ^^
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
