Bulbous & Short Nose Correction: Can the Front View Look This Good Too?

* Basic Information

# Female in her 30s

# Medical History: Previous closed rhinoplasty with bridge implant (+)

# Stress Factors: The nose still looks low, short, and wide!

* Consultation

# Despite having an implant in the bridge, she was concerned that the nose appeared too low, short, and the tip looked wide and bulbous.

# We must focus on correcting the short nose to make the nostrils less visible!

# Correct the bulbous tip, but avoid making it look too sharp!

* Surgical Plan

# Short nose correction (reducing nostril visibility)

# Nasolabial angle correction

# Bulbous nose correction

* Post-operative Progress

1. In the post-operative results, a natural yet defined nose tip was achieved with reduced nostril visibility, exactly as requested.

2. By improving the nasolabial angle, the line connecting the nose to the philtrum has become more sophisticated and beautiful.

3. The patient was very satisfied as the wide alar area became slimmer, adding three-dimensional depth to a previously flat-looking face, which also created a more youthful appearance.

4. The bulbous nose correction resulted in a much slimmer front profile, leading to high patient satisfaction.
