The Line from Forehead to Nose is Truly Essential! :D
A case study of a 20s female patient who achieved a sophisticated facial profile through rhinoplasty and fat grafting to the forehead and temples.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Low nasal bridge and bulbous nose tip
# Lack of volume in the forehead and temples, creating an uneven appearance
* Consultation
# The patient desired improvement for her low nasal bridge and bulbous tip.
# She was also concerned about her narrow, uneven, and flat forehead.
# We planned to raise the nose while simultaneously performing fat grafting to create a voluminous and smooth facial contour.
* Surgical Plan
# Rhinoplasty (Silicone implant for the bridge)
# Tip Plasty (Septal extension graft, bulbous nose correction)
# Fat Grafting
* Post-operative Progress
# By correcting the bulbous nose and adding volume to the forehead and temples, the facial line was completed with a much more sophisticated and elegant image.
# When planning rhinoplasty, you should not look at the nose in isolation, but rather consider the entire line that connects from the forehead to the nose and down to the tip of the chin.
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the line from the forehead to the nose important?
The line from the forehead to the nose is very important in determining the overall harmony and three-dimensionality of the face. When planning rhinoplasty, it is crucial to consider not just the nose, but the entire line from the forehead to the nose and chin to achieve more sophisticated and natural results.
What surgeries did this patient undergo?
This patient underwent rhinoplasty (silicone implant), tip plasty (septal extension graft, bulbous nose correction), along with fat grafting to the forehead and temples. This improved a low nasal bridge, a blunt nasal tip, and insufficient forehead volume.
Why combine rhinoplasty with fat grafting?
Combining rhinoplasty with fat grafting can simultaneously improve overall facial volume and lines. As with this patient, by raising the nose and simultaneously adding volume to the forehead and temples through fat grafting, the line from the forehead to the nose connects smoothly and harmoniously, creating a more refined facial contour.
How was the bulbous nose correction performed?
Bulbous nose correction was performed as part of the tip plasty. The post specifies that bulbous nose correction was done along with septal extension grafting. This improved the blunt nasal tip, creating a more refined nose line.
What are the possible side effects after surgery?
Yes, various complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry can occur after surgery. These side effects may vary depending on the individual, so it is important to be fully aware of them and take precautions before surgery.
Who should I consult for surgery?
It is recommended to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon for surgery consultation and the procedure itself. Through consultation with an experienced specialist, you can establish a suitable surgical plan and proceed with the surgery safely.
