No-Implant, Hump, and Bulbous Nose Rhinoplasty
A case study of a male patient in his 20s who achieved a refined, sharp nose through no-implant rhinoplasty, correcting a hump and bulbous tip.
* Basic Information
# Male in his 20s
# Long, drooping, and blunt bulbous nose tip
# Unevenness caused by a nasal hump
* Consultation
1. The patient’s primary concern was the blunt nose tip that drooped instead of extending sharply. In particular, the retracted columella made the tip appear even more droopy.
2. He also wanted to improve the uneven side profile caused by the hump.
3. Due to a preference against foreign materials, the surgery was planned as a no-implant rhinoplasty.
* Surgical Plan
1. Bridge Rhinoplasty
- Hump correction
- Osteotomy
- No-implant (natural tissue only)
2. Tip Rhinoplasty
- Septal extension graft
- Correction of bulbous tip, long nose, and nasolabial angle
- Alar reduction
* Post-operative Progress
1. The post-operative results show a natural yet sharp and well-defined nose tip.
2. By correcting the long and bulbous nose, not only the shape of the nose but the overall impression became more sophisticated and refined, leading to high patient satisfaction.

Frequently Asked Questions
What were the patient's main concerns about their nose?
The patient's biggest complaints were the blunt and droopy tip of the nose and the uneven profile caused by a dorsal hump. In particular, the columella was retracted, making the nasal tip appear even more droopy.
Is non-implant rhinoplasty possible?
Yes, it is possible. In this patient's case, there was an aversion to implants, so non-implant surgery was planned and performed. For the nasal bridge, improvement was achieved through dorsal hump correction and osteotomy.
What method was used for nasal tip plasty?
Septal extension grafting was used for nasal tip plasty. This corrected the bulbous nose, long nose, and nasolabial angle, and alar reduction was also performed to create a natural and refined nasal tip.
What changes occurred after the surgery?
After the surgery, a natural yet refined nasal tip was achieved. The correction of the long nose and bulbous nose not only improved the nose shape but also refined the overall impression, leading to high patient satisfaction.
At which clinic was this surgery performed?
This surgery was performed at VIBE Plastic Surgery Clinic, located on the 8th floor of Urban Hive, 476 Gangnam-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Consultations and surgeries can be received from a board-certified plastic surgeon.
