Achieving a Sophisticated Straight-Semi-Curved Profile with Bulbous Nose Correction & Alar Reduction!
A case study of a 20s female patient who achieved a refined, sophisticated nose profile through bulbous nose correction, alar reduction, and filler removal.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Medical History: Received bridge filler in the past, but it spread wide and the results were unsatisfactory.
# The tip of the nose is too blunt (bulbous) and the nostrils are too large.
* Consultation
# She mentioned that since childhood, her large nostrils were a major complex, to the point where only her nostrils were visible when she smiled.
# The bridge of the nose was low, which lacked dimension when viewed from the side.
# We planned to create a smooth yet sharp ‘straight-semi-curved’ line by performing bulbous nose correction and alar reduction.
* Surgical Plan
1. Rhinoplasty (Bridge)
- Dissolving existing filler
- Silicone implant
- Osteotomy
2. Tip-plasty
- Bulbous nose correction
- Alar reduction
* Post-Operative Progress
1. Through bulbous nose correction and alar reduction, an overall slim and refined look was achieved.
2. By reinforcing the nasal tip support, the nostrils spread less when smiling and are less visible, which the patient is very satisfied with.
3. Once the lines were refined, a much more natural and sophisticated straight-semi-curved profile was completed, making this a very successful case!
