Short & Bulbous Nose Surgery
A case study of a 20-year-old female patient who achieved a more sophisticated look through short and bulbous nose correction.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# The nose is short, bulbous, and appears upturned.
* Consultation
# The patient visited to correct a bulbous nose. In the past, a bulbous nose was called a ‘bok-ko’ (lucky nose) as it was thought to bring good fortune, but many people now seek improvement because it can give a blunt or heavy impression.
# She had tried fillers before, but since they only raised the bridge and didn’t provide the refined look she desired, she decided to undergo surgery.
# We anticipated a satisfying nasal line by slimming down the tip while raising and smoothing the bridge line.
* Surgical Plan
# Dissolve existing fillers
# Tip plasty (Bulbous nose, short nose correction)
# Rhinoplasty (Hump reduction, silicone implant)
* Post-operative Progress
# The patient wanted to transition from a round, cute-looking nose to a sleek, well-defined shape. I am pleased that the desired nose shape harmonizes well with her overall facial features.
# Now that the short and bulbous nose has been corrected, her overall image looks much more sophisticated!
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
