Correction of a Low and Wide Nose!
A case study of a 20-year-old female patient who achieved a sophisticated look through bulbous nose correction and bridge augmentation.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# The bridge is low and looks uneven due to a hump.
# The tip of the nose looks round and wide.
* Consultation
# In the past, a bulbous nose was called a ‘lucky nose’ because it was thought to bring wealth, but these days many people want to improve it because it lacks a sophisticated feel.
# Since the nose is low, the face appears flatter and larger.
# I believe we can achieve a satisfying nasal line by refining the tip to be slimmer while raising and smoothing the bridge line.
* Plan
# Tip Plasty (Correction of wide and bulbous nose)
# Rhinoplasty (Silicone implant, hump reduction)
* Post-operative Progress
1. A natural yet sharp ‘straight-half-curved’ (Jik-ban) nasal line has been completed.
2. Now that the bridge is defined and the bulbous tip is corrected, the overall impression looks much more sophisticated :)

Frequently Asked Questions
How can a low and wide nose be corrected?
A low and wide nose can be corrected through tip plasty and bridge augmentation. Tip plasty can improve a wide or bulbous nose, and bridge augmentation can create a smooth line by using silicone implants or refining a dorsal hump.
Can a hooked nose also be improved at the same time?
Yes, a hooked nose can also be improved at the same time. During bridge augmentation, the process of refining the dorsal hump can create a smooth nasal bridge line from a bumpy one.
What kind of nose line can I expect after rhinoplasty?
After rhinoplasty, you can expect a natural yet prominent semi-upward curved nose line. As the bridge becomes more defined and the tip becomes slender, you can achieve an overall sophisticated impression.
Can a bulbous nose with a round, wide tip be improved with surgery?
Yes, a bulbous nose with a round, wide tip can be improved with surgery. Through tip plasty, a round and wide-looking nasal tip can be made slender, giving a sophisticated look.
What kind of implants are used for bridge augmentation?
Silicone implants can be used for bridge augmentation. These help to heighten and smooth the bridge line.
