Short Nose Rhinoplasty at VIBE Plastic Surgery :D
A case study of a teenage female patient who underwent rhinoplasty at VIBE Plastic Surgery to correct a short, upturned nose and bulbous tip.
* Basic Information
# Female in her late teens
# The nose looks short and upturned. The wide appearance from the front is also a major source of stress!
* Consultation
# Her biggest concerns were the short nose length and the low nasal bridge.
# She also requested bulbous nose (bok-ko) correction. While a bulbous nose was traditionally thought to bring ‘good fortune’ in Korea, many people now seek improvement due to its blunt appearance.
# We determined that refining the nasal tip while raising the bridge would result in a satisfying nasal profile.
* Surgical Plan
# Nasal Tip Surgery (Short nose, bulbous nose, and nasolabial angle correction)
# Nasal Bridge Surgery (Implant, osteotomy)
# Non-incisional Alar Reduction
* Post-operative Progress
# The patient wanted to change from a round, cute-looking nose to a sleek, straight-semi-basal line. I am glad the desired shape harmonizes well with her overall facial features.
# Now that the short and blunt nose has been corrected, her overall image looks much more sophisticated!
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
