Bulbous Nose Rhinoplasty and Columellar Extension

* Basic Information

# Female in her teens

# Low bridge and bulbous nose tip.

* Consultation

# The patient visited to correct her bulbous nose. While it was traditionally called a ‘lucky nose’ in the past, many people now seek improvement because it can give a blunt or heavy impression. Additionally, her columella was significantly retracted, creating a somewhat ‘stuffy’ look. We decided to perform columellar extension (columellar pull-down) to create an ideal nasolabial angle.

# By refining the nasal tip while raising and smoothing the bridge line, we expect to achieve a highly satisfying nasal profile.

* Surgical Plan

# Nasal Tip Surgery (Bulbous nose correction, Columellar extension)

# Nasal Bridge Surgery (Silicone implant)

* Post-operative Progress

# While correcting the bulbous nose, we simultaneously extended the retracted columella to create an ideal nasolabial angle.

# The patient was very satisfied as the surgery resulted in a much more sophisticated and refined appearance. ^^

Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is suitable for bulbous nose surgery?

Bulbous nose surgery is suitable for those who want to improve their blunt nose. Especially in cases where the nose is low and bulbous, it can help create a sophisticated impression by making the nasal tip slender.

Why is columella lowering necessary?

Columella lowering is necessary to create an ideal nasolabial angle when the columella is too recessed, giving a stuffy impression. This can further improve the nose line to be smoother and more refined.

Can bulbous nose correction and columella lowering be performed simultaneously?

Yes, they can be performed simultaneously. By correcting a bulbous nose and simultaneously extending a recessed columella, an ideal nasolabial angle can be created, completing a more sophisticated nose line.

Can the nasal bridge also be raised during nose surgery?

Yes, the nasal bridge line can be raised and made smooth through nasal bridge surgery. This case included a plan to raise the nasal bridge using silicone implants.

What results can I expect after nose surgery?

After nose surgery, you can expect a sophisticated impression with a slender nasal tip and a raised nasal bridge line through bulbous nose correction and columella lowering. A more satisfying nose line can be achieved after surgery.
