Transformation of a Blunt and Short Nose! Only at VIBE Plastic Surgery!
A case study of a teenage patient who underwent rhinoplasty to correct a blunt, short nose and retracted columella for a more sophisticated look.
* Basic Information
# Female in her teens
# Primary Complaints: The tip of my nose is blunt and short, and the retracted columella makes it look even worse :(
* Consultation
# The patient visited to correct a ‘bulbous nose’. In the past, it was called a ‘lucky nose’ because it was thought to bring fortune, but many people now seek improvement because it can give a blunt or heavy impression.
# She was also concerned about her nose appearing short. While a short nose can look cute, it often lacks a sophisticated feel.
# I believe we can achieve satisfying results by refining the nose tip to be slimmer while enhancing the nasolabial angle.
* Plan
# Tip Plasty (Bulbous Nose & Short Nose & Nasolabial Angle Correction)
# Bridge Rhinoplasty (Silicone implant, hump reduction)
* Post-operative Progress
# The blunt nose tip was corrected, resulting in a sharp yet natural transformation.
# If the nose is short and the nostrils are highly visible, it can give a somewhat ‘light’ or less serious impression. Therefore, providing sufficient extension in both height and length is necessary to create a sophisticated and high-end look.
# As the nasolabial angle was improved, the line connecting the nose to the philtrum has become much more refined and beautiful. :D

Frequently Asked Questions
In what cases is a bulbous nose correction surgery necessary?
Bulbous nose correction surgery can be considered when you want to improve the overall dull impression caused by a blunt nasal tip. In the past, a bulbous nose was considered a sign of good fortune, but currently, many people desire correction for a more sophisticated impression.
Can short nose rhinoplasty extend the length of the nose?
Yes, short nose rhinoplasty can sufficiently extend the length of the nose. If the nose is short and the nostrils are too visible, it can give a light impression, so extending the length can lead to a more sophisticated and elegant appearance.
Can the nasal bridge and nasal tip be improved simultaneously during rhinoplasty?
Yes, the nasal bridge and nasal tip can be improved simultaneously during rhinoplasty. In this case, nasal tip surgery (bulbous nose, short nose, nasolabial angle correction) and nasal bridge surgery (silicone implant, hump reduction) were performed together to improve the overall nasal line.
How long does it usually take to observe the progress after rhinoplasty?
Post-operative progress varies by individual, but in this case, three months after surgery, the blunt nasal tip was corrected, showing a refined and natural change. The final results appear after a sufficient recovery period.
What side effects can occur after rhinoplasty?
Complications and side effects that can occur after rhinoplasty include bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry. These side effects can vary by individual, so it is important to be fully aware of them before surgery and take precautions.
What effects can be expected from nasolabial angle correction?
Nasolabial angle correction can create a more sophisticated and beautiful line by improving the angle where the nose connects to the philtrum. In this case, the nasolabial angle was enhanced, improving the line from the nose to the philtrum.
