Correction for a Short, Bulbous Nose _ Can I Get a Nose like Kim Yoo-jung's?! VIBE Plastic Surgery, CEO Dr. Yoo Young-moon
A 20s female sought correction for a short, bulbous, upturned nose, desiring a refined, natural look similar to actress Kim Yoo-jung's nose.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Her nose appeared short, bulbous, and upturned.
* Consultation
# She visited seeking correction for a bulbous nose. While a bulbous nose was once considered a sign of good fortune, it can now give a somewhat blunt impression, so she desired improvement.
# The short, upturned tip of her nose, which exposed too much of her nostrils, was also a source of stress.
# We believed that refining the nasal tip, raising the bridge line, and making it smooth would result in a satisfactory nose line.
* Plan
# Nasal tip rhinoplasty (bulbous nose & short nose)
# Nasal bridge rhinoplasty (implant)
* Post-Surgery Thoughts
# She desired a nose that maintained a somewhat round and cute feel while still being sufficiently defined. Actress Kim Yoo-jung's nose was her 'wannabe'.
# Recently, many people have been bringing in photos of actress Kim Yoo-jung's nose! It has a slightly cute image yet is sufficiently defined, making it a great model for what is commonly called a ‘natural yet defined straight-to-upturned nose’ these days!
# The improvement in her short & bulbous nose refined her overall facial image, making this a very satisfying case!
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of nose is referred to as a 'Bokko' (bulbous nose)?
A 'Bokko' refers to a nose with a blunt and rounded tip. In the past, it was considered a sign of good fortune, but nowadays, many people desire correction for a more sophisticated image.
Can a short and upturned nose be corrected?
Yes, it is possible. If the nose tip is short and upturned, revealing too much of the nostrils, it can be improved through nose tip surgery to make the tip slender and extend its length.
What kind of examination do I undergo before nose surgery?
Before surgery, a CT scan is performed to accurately determine the shape, position, and size of the nasal septum. This is an essential process for establishing a personalized surgical plan.
Can I achieve a nose line like actress Kim Yoo-jung?
Yes, it is possible. Actress Kim Yoo-jung's nose has a natural yet prominent look with a good volume at the tip, making it a frequently cited model for the currently preferred 'Jaryeohan Jikban' (natural yet defined straight-to-upturned) nose.
How is 'Bokko' (bulbous nose) correction surgery performed?
Bokko correction primarily involves nose tip surgery to make the blunt tip slender, and if necessary, bridge augmentation is performed concurrently to smoothly improve the overall nose line.
How much does the image change after nose surgery?
When a short and blunt nose is improved, the overall facial image can become more sophisticated and prominent. You can achieve satisfactory results while maintaining a cute and rounded impression.
