Frequently Asked Questions

In what cases is a bulbous nose correction necessary?

Bulbous nose correction is primarily considered when the nasal tip appears blunt and wide. In the past, it was sometimes believed to bring good fortune, but in modern times, it is performed to refine the nasal tip for a more sophisticated impression.

How is aquiline nose correction performed?

Aquiline nose correction is a surgery that smooths out an uneven nasal bridge line. As a type of nasal bridge surgery, rhinoplasty or osteotomy may be planned in conjunction with aquiline nose correction.

Can I receive bulbous nose correction and aquiline nose correction together?

Yes, it is possible. The patient in this case also underwent both nasal tip surgery (bulbous nose correction) and nasal bridge surgery (aquiline nose correction) to improve both a blunt nasal tip and an aquiline nose simultaneously, achieving satisfactory results.

How does the nose shape change after surgery?

After surgery, the blunt and wide nasal tip can be refined, and the uneven aquiline nasal bridge line can become smooth and prominent. The overall impression of the face can also become more sophisticated.

What side effects can occur after surgery?

After surgery, various complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur. These side effects can vary from person to person, so sufficient consultation and caution are required before surgery.
