Short Nose & Bulbous Nose Surgery
A case study of a 30s female patient who achieved a sophisticated look through short nose correction and bulbous nose refinement.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 30s
# The nose appears short, blunt, and upturned.
* Consultation
# The patient visited to correct a bulbous nose. While a ‘blunt’ nose was traditionally called a ‘lucky nose’ in Korea, many people now seek improvement because it can give a heavy or dull impression.
# She was also stressed by her short nasal tip and the fact that her nostrils were overly visible.
# We determined that a satisfying nose line could be achieved by refining the nasal tip while raising and smoothing the bridge of the nose.
* Plan
# Nasal Tip Surgery (Bulbous Nose & Short Nose Correction)
# Nasal Bridge Surgery (Silicone Implant)
* Post-operative Progress
# The patient wanted to transition from a round, cute nose to a sleek, straight nose. It is wonderful that the desired nose shape harmonizes so well with her overall facial features.
# By improving the short and blunt nose, her overall image now appears much more sophisticated!
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
