VIBE’s ‘Short, Low, and Bulbous Nose Rhinoplasty’
A 20-year-old female patient achieves a sophisticated profile through short and bulbous nose correction after unsatisfactory filler and Hiko thread treatments.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Previously received filler and Hiko thread treatments, but was unsatisfied with the results.
# The nose still appears short, blunt, and upturned.
* Consultation
# The patient visited seeking correction for a bulbous nose. While traditionally called a ‘lucky nose’ in the past, many now seek improvement because it can give a blunt or heavy impression.
# She was also stressed by the short nasal tip and excessive nostril visibility.
# We determined that slimming the nasal tip while raising and smoothing the bridge would create a satisfying nasal line.
* Surgical Plan
# Dissolving existing filler and removing foreign substances (Hiko threads)
# Tip plasty (Bulbous & short nose correction)
# Bridge rhinoplasty (Implant, Osteotomy)
* Post-Operative Progress
# The patient wanted to transition from a round, cute-looking nose to a sleek, straight nasal line. We are pleased that the desired shape harmonizes well with her overall facial features.
# By correcting the short and blunt nose, her overall image now appears much more sophisticated!

Frequently Asked Questions
When should one consider short nose and bulbous nose rhinoplasty?
Short nose and bulbous nose rhinoplasty can be considered when the nose is short, blunt, and upturned, showing too much of the nostrils, or when one wants to make the nasal tip slender and raise the bridge of the nose.
What happens if I have received filler or Hiko procedures before rhinoplasty?
Yes, if you have received filler or Hiko procedures, the process of dissolving the filler or removing foreign substances (Hiko) may be performed first, depending on the surgical plan. In this case, the surgery was performed after removing filler and Hiko.
What surgical methods can be used for bulbous nose correction?
For bulbous nose correction, nasal tip plasty is mainly used to make a blunt nasal tip slender. If necessary, dorsal augmentation (implants, osteotomy) may be performed together to improve the overall nose line.
What kind of image change can I expect after rhinoplasty?
Yes, after rhinoplasty, you can expect a change from a round and cute-looking nose to a sleek and straight-looking nose. When a short and blunt nose is improved, the overall image of the face can appear more sophisticated.
