Can my plain-looking nose achieve a glamorous transformation? Absolutely! VIBE Plastic Surgery :D

* Patient Information

# Female in her 20s

# Her nose looked ‘plain’ to her, so she received fillers and Hiko (thread lift) procedures about 4 times, but she was still unsatisfied :(

* Consultation

# This patient was concerned about her nose looking flat and plain. Despite multiple filler and Hiko treatments, she wasn’t very happy with the results.

# We decided to dissolve the fillers before surgery and remove any Hiko threads found during the procedure.

# We planned to correct the blunt tip (bulbous nose) to create a more sophisticated nose line.

* Surgical Plan

# Dissolve fillers

# Remove foreign substances

# Bulbous nose & nasolabial angle correction

* Post-operative Progress

# There are several types of bulbous noses: 1. Thick skin, 2. Thick soft tissue (subcutaneous fat, etc.), 3. Splayed and 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 make them thinner and refined the cartilage to create a sharp, sleek shape.

# We achieved the ideal nasal tip angle. The nasolabial angle must be well-defined for the tip to look much more projected. The importance of the nasolabial angle cannot be overemphasized! We also created a naturally rounded columella, avoiding a flat or ‘chopped’ appearance.

# Now that the bulbous nose is corrected, her overall impression has changed to look much more sophisticated! I am glad the desired nose shape harmonizes well with her entire face. ^^

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Is nose surgery possible after filler or Hiko procedures?

Yes, it is possible. The patient in this case also underwent nose surgery after receiving filler and Hiko procedures multiple times. Before surgery, the filler is dissolved, and any Hiko threads found during surgery are removed before proceeding with the operation.

How is bulbous nose correction performed?

A bulbous nose can result from a combination of factors, such as thick skin, thick soft tissue, or wide and spread cartilage. The skin and soft tissue are thinned, and the cartilage is reshaped to create a sharper appearance. It is important to correct each factor appropriately.

How does nasolabial angle correction affect nose shape?

Nasolabial angle correction plays an important role in making the nasal tip appear much more defined. It achieves an ideal nasal tip angle, adding sophistication to the overall nose line and contributing to a natural-looking nasal tip.

When can I see changes after nose surgery?

In this case, changes in the nose line and an improved appearance can be observed through photos taken 2 months after the surgery. While there may be individual differences, the final results typically appear over several months.

What kind of impression changes can I expect from nose surgery?

In this case, after bulbous nose correction, the overall impression became more refined, and the desired nose shape blended well with the overall facial aesthetic. You can expect an improvement to a more defined and natural nose line.

What are the possible side effects of nose surgery?

Complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery, and these can vary by individual, so caution is necessary. It is important to consult with and undergo surgery by a board-certified plastic surgeon.
