Transformation of a Short, Bulbous Nose at VIBE Plastic Surgery

* Basic Information

# Female in her 20s

# Previously received fillers and Hiko (thread lift) procedures but was dissatisfied with the results.

# The nose still appeared short, bulbous, and upturned.

* Consultation

# The patient visited us seeking correction for a bulbous nose. While traditionally called a ‘lucky nose’ (Bok-ko) in Korea because it was thought to bring wealth, many people now seek to improve it because it can look somewhat blunt or heavy.

# She was also stressed by the fact that her nose tip was short and deviated, making her nostrils overly visible.

# We determined that a highly satisfying nose line could be achieved by refining the nose tip to be slimmer while raising and smoothing the bridge line.

* Surgical Plan

# Dissolving fillers and removing foreign substances (Hiko threads)

# Tip plasty (Bulbous nose & Short nose & Deviated nose correction)

# Bridge augmentation (Implant)

* Post-operative Progress

# The patient wanted to move away from a round, cute impression toward a nose that feels sleek and well-defined. I am pleased that the desired nose shape harmonizes so well with her overall facial features.

# It is often difficult to achieve truly satisfying results with fillers and Hiko procedures alone.

# This was a very rewarding case where correcting the short and bulbous nose significantly enhanced the sophistication of her entire facial image!

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 nose that appears blunt, short, or upturned. In the past, it was believed to bring good fortune, but currently, many people desire improvement for a more sophisticated image.

What if I had filler or Hiko procedures before nose surgery?
