VIBE Plastic Surgery: The Experts in Sophisticated Straight-Curved Nose Lines!
Check out this transformation of a bulbous nose into a sophisticated, slim profile at VIBE Plastic Surgery.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Stressed by a low bridge and a bulbous nose tip.
* Consultation
# She is the niece of a patient who was highly satisfied with their revision rhinoplasty using autologous rib cartilage at VIBE!
# She visited to correct her bulbous nose. While a ‘lucky nose’ (bulbous nose) was traditionally thought to bring fortune, many now seek improvement because it can give a blunt or heavy impression.
# We expect a satisfying result by refining the nose tip to be slimmer while raising and smoothing the bridge line.
* Surgical Plan
# Tip Plasty
- Bulbous nose correction
- Nasolabial angle correction
# Bridge Enhancement
- 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 element appropriately. We sculpted the skin and soft tissue to be thinner and reshaped the cartilage to create a sharp, sleek look.
# We achieved the ideal angle between the bridge and the nose tip.
# With the bulbous nose corrected, her overall impression has become much more sophisticated! I am glad the desired nose shape harmonizes so well with her entire face. ^^
Always consult a board-certified plastic surgeon for surgery!
