Bulbous Nose & Low Bridge Rhinoplasty

* Basic Information

# Female in her 20s

# Low and blunt bulbous nose

* Consultation

# The patient desired improvement because the nasal bridge was low and the tip was blunt.

# Pre-operative CT scans showed a significantly deviated and small nasal septum, so we planned to use donated rib cartilage.

# Since raising the tip alone would not reduce the wide alar base, an alar reduction was also planned.

* Plan

# Bridge Rhinoplasty (Silicone implant, Osteotomy)

# Tip Rhinoplasty (Bulbous nose correction, Alar reduction)

* Post-operative Progress

# There are several types of bulbous noses: 1. Thick skin, 2. Thick soft tissue (subcutaneous fat, etc.), 3. Spread and wide cartilage. Naturally, these factors often occur in combination, so it is best to correct each factor appropriately. This involves sculpting the skin and soft tissue to be thinner and refining the cartilage to create a sleek shape.

# We achieved the ideal nasal tip angle using septal cartilage and donated rib cartilage. The tip looks much more defined when the nasolabial angle is properly addressed. The importance of the nasolabial angle cannot be overemphasized!

# With the bulbous nose corrected, her overall impression has changed to look much more sophisticated!

Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
