Transformation of a Blunt Bulbous Nose!! I love Kim Yoo-jung’s nose :D

* Basic Information

# Female in her 20s

# Medical History: Nose filler & Hiko (thread lift) procedures, alar reduction

# Stress caused by a nose that looks blunt and spread out :(

* Consultation

# The patient visited to correct a bulbous nose. While it was traditionally called a ‘lucky nose’ (bok-ko) in Korea, she wanted to improve it because it gave a somewhat blunt impression.

# Despite having tried nose fillers, Hiko procedures, and alar reduction, she was dissatisfied with the results and decided to undergo surgery.

# While the side profile was important, she particularly wanted to correct the spread-out appearance from the front!

# I determined that a satisfying nose line could be achieved by refining the tip and raising the bridge line.

* Surgical Plan

# Tip Plasty (Bulbous nose & nasolabial angle correction)

# Bridge Augmentation (Osteotomy, implant)

* Post-Surgical Thoughts

# She wanted to maintain a round and cute feel to some extent while achieving a sufficiently high and sharp nose. Her ‘wannabe’ was actress Kim Yoo-jung’s nose.

# These days, many patients bring photos of actress Kim Yoo-jung! Her nose is a great model for the currently popular ‘fancy-natural’ (jaryeon-han) straight-semi-basal line, as it maintains a cute image while having sufficient height.

# This was a satisfying case where the overall facial image became much more sophisticated after the short and blunt nose was improved!

# She was especially pleased with the overall improvement of the nose, which previously looked spread out from the front :)

Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I consider a bulbous nose correction?

Bulbous nose correction can be considered if you are stressed by a blunt and wide-looking nose, or if non-surgical methods such as nose fillers or Hiko procedures have not been effective. It is especially suitable for those who want to improve a nose that appears wide from the front.

How is bulbous nose correction surgery performed?

Bulbous nose correction surgery can involve both tip plasty and bridge plasty. Tip plasty can correct the bulbous nose and nasolabial angle, while bridge plasty can involve osteotomy and implants to raise the bridge line.

What kind of nose shape can I expect after rhinoplasty?

After rhinoplasty, you can expect a sharp and slender nose line while maintaining a round and cute look. In the case study, the patient was highly satisfied with achieving a sophisticated semi-straight nose like Kim Yoo-jung's.

Can a nose that appears wide from the front be improved?

Yes, it can be improved. The patient in the case study most wanted to correct her nose that appeared wide from the front, and she was very satisfied with the overall improvement after the surgery.

What are the possible side effects after rhinoplasty?

After rhinoplasty, various complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry can occur. These side effects can vary depending on the individual, so it is important to consult sufficiently with a specialist before surgery.
