No-Implant Bulbous and Low Nose Rhinoplasty
A case study of a 20-year-old female who achieved a refined, natural nose shape using only autologous cartilage without implants.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Blunt and low nasal tip
* Consultation
1. The patient’s primary concerns were a blunt nasal tip that lacked a sleek, defined projection and its low height.
2. Since the nasal bridge was not low, a no-implant surgery plan was established.
* Surgical Plan
1. Nasal Tip Surgery
- Septal Cartilage: Septal extension graft
- Ear Cartilage: Onlay graft
- Correction of bulbous and low nasal tip
* Post-operative Progress
1. The post-operative results show a natural yet well-defined nasal tip.
2. By correcting the low, bulbous tip, a feminine and sophisticated nose was achieved, leading to high patient satisfaction.
3. When the nasal bridge is sufficiently high, a natural nose line can be created without the use of artificial implants.

Frequently Asked Questions
In what cases is non-implant bulbous nose surgery suitable?
It is suitable for cases where the bridge of the nose is sufficiently high, but the tip of the nose is blunt and low. It can create a natural and sharp nose line without using implants, making it a good choice for those who want to improve their nasal tip without an artificial feel.
What cartilage is used for non-implant nasal tip surgery?
Septal cartilage and ear cartilage are mainly used. Septal cartilage is used to extend the nasal tip, and ear cartilage is used for overlapping grafts to delicately adjust the height and shape of the nasal tip, completing a natural nasal tip.
What changes can be expected after non-implant bulbous nose surgery?
A natural yet sharp nasal tip can be achieved. The blunt and low nasal tip is corrected, allowing for an overall feminine and sophisticated nose line, which helps create a harmonious impression on the face.
What side effects can occur after surgery?
Complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery. These side effects can vary from person to person, so it is important to consult sufficiently with a specialist before surgery and be aware of precautions.
Is non-implant nose surgery possible even if the bridge of the nose is low?
In this case, the bridge of the nose was not low, so non-implant surgery was planned. If the bridge of the nose is low, surgery to raise the bridge using an implant may be necessary, so it is important to consult with a specialist to find a suitable method for you.
