A Major Transformation for a Short Bulbous Nose at VIBE Plastic Surgery :D
Check out this stunning transformation of a short, bulbous nose into a refined, sophisticated profile through rhinoplasty and non-incisional alar reduction at VIBE.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Primary Complaints: ‘The tip of my nose is blunt and short, and it looks spread out.’
* Consultation
# The patient visited us seeking correction for a bulbous nose. In the past, a bulbous nose was thought to bring good fortune, but many people now wish to improve it because it can give a blunt or heavy impression.
# She was also concerned about her nose appearing short. While a short nose can look cute, it often lacks a sophisticated feel.
# We concluded that slimming down the nasal tip while raising the bridge to create a smooth line would produce a satisfying result.
* Surgical Plan
# Tip Plasty (Bulbous & Short Nose Correction)
# Rhinoplasty (Bridge Augmentation, Osteotomy)
# Non-incisional Alar Reduction
* Post-operative Progress
# The blunt nasal tip was corrected, resulting in a sharp yet natural transformation.
# When the nose is short and the nostrils are highly visible, it can look cute but may also give a slightly ‘light’ impression. Therefore, providing sufficient height and length extension is necessary to create a sophisticated and high-end look.
# Through non-incisional alar reduction, we corrected the nasal tip that used to spread wide when smiling.
# This was a very satisfying case where the overall vibe of the face became much more refined :D
Always seek consultation and surgery from a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions
How is bulbous nose correction performed?
Bulbous nose correction is performed through tip plasty. It can transform a blunt nasal tip into a slender one and raise the bridge line, completing an overall sleek and sharp nose line.
Can a short nose be improved with surgery?
Yes, a short nose can be improved with surgery. Through tip plasty, the height and length of the nose can be sufficiently extended to correct it in a way that gives a sophisticated and elegant impression.
Is surgery possible even if the nostrils spread wide?
Yes, surgery is possible even if the nostrils spread wide. Through non-incisional alar reduction, the nasal tip that spreads wide when smiling can be corrected to create a more refined impression.
What type of nose surgery was performed in this case?
In this case, tip plasty (for bulbous and short nose correction), bridge augmentation (rhinoplasty, osteotomy), and non-incisional alar reduction were performed. This comprehensively improved the patient's nose shape.
What changes can I expect after nose surgery?
After nose surgery, you can expect a blunt nasal tip to be corrected into a sharp and natural one, and the length and height of a short nose to be extended, transforming it into a sophisticated and elegant impression. Additionally, spreading nostrils can also be improved.
Who performed the surgery?
The surgery was performed by Dr. Yoo Young-moon, a board-certified plastic surgeon and chief director of VIBE Plastic Surgery. It is mentioned that it is important to consult and undergo surgery with a specialist who has extensive experience.
