From a Wide, Bulbous Nose to a Sharp, Straight-Curve Nose!?
Hello~ This is Vibe Plastic Surgery. Today, we would like to talk about a rhinoplasty case of a patient who had a wide, bulbous nasal tip along with a dorsal hump. The patient wanted a straight-curve nose line. For the surgical materials, we used septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and silicone to raise the height. While performing bulbous nose correction and hump reduction, an osteotomy was also necessary, so we proceeded with that as well. Shall we take a look at the before and after differences?

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it possible to reshape a wide, blunt nose into a sharp, semi-upturned nose?
Yes, it is possible. By performing both a bulbous nose correction and a hump nose correction, and utilizing materials such as septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and silicone, the nasal tip can be elevated and the line refined to create a sharp, semi-upturned nose.
Is osteotomy always necessary for hump nose surgery?
It depends on the patient's nose condition. In the surgical case mentioned in the text, osteotomy was necessary to correct the bone shape while performing hump nose correction and bulbous nose correction. A precise determination requires a specialist's diagnosis.
What materials are used in rhinoplasty?
Septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and silicone are commonly used. In the surgical case mentioned in the text, autologous cartilage such as septal and ear cartilage, along with silicone implants, were used in combination to heighten the bridge and correct the nasal tip.
Can side effects occur after rhinoplasty?
Yes, side effects can occur depending on the individual. There is a possibility of complications such as asymmetry, bleeding, infection, and inflammation after surgery, so it is important to have thorough consultation before surgery and adhere to post-operative precautions.
