Which Method Should Be Used for Bulbous Nose Surgery?

Hello.

This is Vibe Plastic Surgery.

​

Because their nasal tip is fat or thick,

they are teased with various nicknames like bulbous nose, fist nose, and pig nose.

People who have developed a complex from this

often plan for bulbous nose surgery

to positively improve their image.

​

​

Many people visit our clinic seeking bulbous nose surgery as well.

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, you must 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 best to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon

who has extensive experience in rhinoplasty,

and receive a customized solution afterward.

​

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,

transforming a blunt and wide nose into a defined and projected shape.

​

The surgical methods are broadly divided into incisional and non-incisional.

In the case of the incisional method, an incision is made

at the boundary between the alar and the nasal tip to reduce the alar size,

or an incision is made at the base of the nostrils

to gather both nostrils together.

​

For the non-incisional 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 scarring, has less bruising and swelling,

and offers a faster recovery than the incisional method.

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

it is difficult to apply.

​

How to Resolve a Bulbous Nose?

​

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

the fat and thick tissue under 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 the methods of removing tissue

and correcting the cartilage

are diverse, they must be appropriately performed

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.
