Worried About a Bulbous Nose? Achieving a Sophisticated Straight-Semi-Curved Profile with Primary Rhinoplasty!

Hello :)

I am Dr. Young-moon Yoo, Director of VIBE Plastic Surgery.

Today, I would like to introduce a case of a 20-year-old woman who decided to undergo her first rhinoplasty.

Compared to her sharp eyes, she had long been concerned about her relatively blunt and bulbous nose tip.

👩‍⚕️ Patient Profile

Age: Early 20s

Concerns: Bulbous nose, blunt nose tip

Goal: A sharp and sophisticated impression + natural results

Procedure: Nose tip correction using septal and ear cartilage + bridge augmentation using an implant

✨ Surgical Points

✔ To correct the bulbous nose, the soft tissue of the blunt tip was refined.

✔ Septal cartilage was used as a central pillar to strengthen the support of the nose tip.

✔ Ear cartilage was added to create a soft, natural line.

✔ A thin silicone implant of only 3mm was inserted to create a seamless design from the forehead to the tip.

✔ Alar reduction was performed to slim down the flared nostrils!

📸 Before & After Comparison

While the nose tip appeared round and spread out before surgery, the post-operative results show a sharp look from the front and a natural bridge line from the side.

Most importantly, the patient shared that she loved hearing the feedback, ‘You look beautiful without it looking like you had surgery.’

💬 Dr. Young-moon Yoo’s Rhinoplasty Philosophy

For a primary rhinoplasty, naturalness and harmony are more important than using excessive implants.

In particular, a bulbous nose cannot be solved simply by raising the bridge.

One must accurately identify and correct the soft tissue and cartilage structure to create long-lasting results.

🏥 At VIBE Plastic Surgery

We prioritize safe nose tip correction using only your own cartilage and a natural bridge line.

✅ Recommended for those who:
