Bulbous Nose Surgery: Which Method Should You Choose?

Hello.

This is Vibe Plastic Surgery.

​

Because their nasal tip is fat or thick,

many people are teased with various nicknames such as a bulbous nose, fleshy nose, or piggy nose.

Those who have developed a complex from this

often plan to undergo bulbous nose surgery

to positively improve their image.

​

​

Many people visit our clinic specifically for bulbous nose surgery.

So, what methods are used for bulbous nose surgery?

For those who are curious,

we have prepared some information regarding bulbous nose surgery.

​

Causes of a Bulbous Nose?

​

The causes of a bulbous nose

vary from person to person.

Therefore, it is important to first check

which type you fall into.

​

Bulbous Nose Surgery Cases

​

✔ A nose with a blunt tip and thick subcutaneous tissue

✔ A nose with large alar cartilages that are spaced far apart

​

Since the condition of cartilage and bone differs for each individual,

it is recommended to receive a customized solution

after a detailed consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon

who has extensive experience in rhinoplasty.

​

Key Points of Bulbous Nose Surgery!

​

The key to bulbous nose surgery is to naturally elevate the nasal bridge and tip

according to the individual's condition, while transforming a blunt and wide nose shape

into a refined and projected one.

​

Surgical methods are broadly divided into incision and non-incision techniques.

In the case of an incision, the surgery involves making an incision at the boundary between the alar and the nasal tip

to reduce the size of the alar,

or making an incision below the nostrils

and then gathering both nostrils together.

​

For the non-incision method, small punctures are made on both sides of the nose,

and threads are inserted and pulled to reduce the size.

It leaves almost no scars, has less bruising and swelling,

and offers a faster recovery than the incision method.

However, if the nostrils are large or the alar is thick,

it is difficult to apply this technique.

​

How to Resolve a Bulbous Nose?

​

If the skin is thick, it can be resolved by removing the fat and thick tissue

from underneath the skin.

However, it must not be removed excessively.

​

If the nose looks bulging and spread out,

bulbous nose correction is possible by tying and gathering the cartilage with threads.

​

However, since there are various methods

for removing tissue and correcting cartilage,

the procedure must be performed appropriately

according to the specific situation.

​

Therefore, precise analysis is crucial

for bulbous nose surgery.

Vibe Plastic Surgery is equipped with 3D-CT,

allowing us to analyze more precisely

and proceed with the surgery using a method

that is suitable for each individual.
