VIBE Plastic Surgery’s Signature 💎 Straight-Semi-Curved Nose Line :D – Sophisticated Facial Transformation via Bulbous Nose Correction –
A 20s female patient achieves a sophisticated look through VIBE Plastic Surgery's signature straight-semi-curved nose line, correcting a bulbous tip and low bridge.
👩⚕️ Basic Information
Age: 20s Female
Primary Concerns:
- A flat and plain facial impression due to a low nasal bridge
- An unsophisticated look caused by a blunt, bulbous nose tip
- The center of the face appearing spread out and the midface looking flat
🩺 Consultation and Diagnosis
The patient had long struggled with a complex regarding her bulbous nose tip and the facial imbalance caused by a low bridge.
In the past, this shape was called a ‘lucky nose’ (Bok-ko) because it was thought to bring fortune, but nowadays, many seek correction because it can give off a somewhat stuffy or heavy impression.
In particular, when the bridge is low, it creates an optical illusion where the center of the face looks sunken and the entire face appears wider. Simply raising the bridge smoothly and naturally can significantly improve one’s impression.
✍️ Surgical Plan
🔹 Nasal Tip Surgery (Bulbous Nose Correction + Nasolabial Angle Improvement)
To refine a thick and blunt nose tip into a slim shape:
→ Combined soft tissue removal, skin thickness refinement, and cartilage suturing.
By correcting the nasolabial angle (the angle between the nose and lips):
→ Achieved a sophisticated yet feminine line.
🔹 Nasal Bridge Surgery
To create a natural straight-semi-curved line:
→ Insertion of a safe silicone implant.
→ Completed an ideal line extending from the forehead to the bridge and down to the tip.
🛠 Approach by Bulbous Nose Type
A bulbous nose is rarely just a simple tip issue. In reality, it is often a complex combination of the following three factors:
1. Thick skin or low elasticity
2. Excessive subcutaneous fat and soft tissue
3. Structural factors where the cartilage is spread wide
Since these three factors were acting in combination, precise correction tailored to each cause was necessary.
▶ The skin and soft tissues were refined to be thinner,
▶ The cartilage was gathered and elevated to create a sharp nasal tip.
✨ Surgical Results & Changes
- The facial midline was three-dimensionally improved as the bridge was raised.
- After bulbous nose correction, the tip was refined into a slim shape, giving a sophisticated feel.
- The sunken midface was addressed, transforming the overall facial proportions into a harmonious balance.
- The patient expressed great satisfaction as her impression became much brighter and clearer than before surgery 😊

Frequently Asked Questions
How is bulbous nose correction performed?
Bulbous nose correction is performed by combining soft tissue trimming, skin thickness reduction, and cartilage tying to slim down a thick and blunt nasal tip. Depending on the type of bulbous nose, a sharp nasal tip is created by thinning the skin/soft tissue or by gathering and raising the cartilage.
How can a low nose bridge be improved?
A low nose bridge can be improved by inserting a safe silicone implant to create a natural straight-to-upturned line. This completes an ideal line from the forehead to the nose bridge and nasal tip, improving the three-dimensionality of the face's center.
What changes can I expect after rhinoplasty?
After rhinoplasty, the nose bridge becomes higher, improving the three-dimensionality of the face's centerline, and bulbous nose correction refines the nasal tip, giving a sophisticated look. Additionally, the hollowness of the midface is resolved, transforming the overall facial proportions harmoniously.
What are the main causes of a bulbous nose?
A bulbous nose is difficult to attribute to a single nasal tip issue and is primarily caused by a combination of three factors. These include thick or inelastic skin, excessive subcutaneous fat and soft tissue, and structural factors such as widely spread cartilage.
Why is nasolabial angle correction necessary?
Nasolabial angle correction helps create a sophisticated and feminine nose line by adjusting the angle between the nose and lips. This plays an important role in improving overall facial harmony and impression.
