Hello~ This is Vibe Plastic Surgery^^
When you look at the noses of people around you,
there are truly many different shapes!
Among them, many Koreans have a low
and blunt bulbous nose shape,
which is a very common feature.
The surgical case we are showing today also had, before surgery,
a bulbous nose.
First of all, for today's surgical patient,
both the nasal bridge and tip were elevated,
using septal and ear cartilage.
And along with the bulbous nose correction, osteotomy and columella correction
were also performed. Let's see how the before and after differences look.
Shall we compare them?

Frequently Asked Questions
What cartilage is used for bulbous nose correction?
Septal cartilage and ear cartilage are mainly used. The patient in this case study also used these autologous cartilages to raise the bridge and tip of the nose, helping to correct a low and blunt nasal tip into a sharper one.
Are there any other surgeries that can be performed in conjunction with bulbous nose surgery?
Yes, osteotomy and columellar correction can be performed together. Combining osteotomy, which reduces the width of the nasal bone while correcting a wide bulbous nose, with columellar correction, which straightens the columella, is effective in creating a more立体 and sharper nose shape.
When can I check the progress after surgery?
You can check the progress from 2 to 6 months after surgery. In the case study, frontal, lateral, and 45-degree lateral photos at 2, 3, 4, and 6 months post-surgery show how the nose shape settles compared to before the surgery.
What are the possible side effects of rhinoplasty?
Side effects such as inflammation, bleeding, infection, and asymmetry may occur. The occurrence and severity of these complications or side effects may vary depending on an individual's constitution and condition, so special care and management are required before and after surgery.
