A bulbous nose has a rounded, broad nasal tip and may occur in combination with a short nose or a low nasal bridge. Surgery is performed using the most appropriate method after identifying the cause, such as excessively developed tip cartilages, widely separated cartilages, abundant subcutaneous tissue at the tip, or thick skin.

LUHO Plastic Surgery Bulbous Nose Surgery Methods

When the alar cartilages forming the nasal tip are large

When the alar cartilages are wide, they are removed while preserving approximately 5–8 mm on both sides.

image

*A - Alar cartilage excision

After excision, the separated areas are sutured together. Autologous tissue is used between the separated alar cartilages to create a support structure, making the nasal tip more projected and the nostrils appear narrower by elongating them.

When the alar cartilages are spread apart to the sides

After refining the shape of the alar cartilages for a sleeker appearance, the left and right sides are brought together and sutured.

*A - Nasal tip suturing / B - Alar cartilage excision

This naturally elevates the lower connected nasal septum upward, creating a more projected nose.

When the subcutaneous fat at the nasal tip is thick

This procedure removes fat and contracts the skin of the nasal tip to create a more projected appearance.

When the nasal tip is very low or surgery is performed together with nasal bridge surgery, grafting autologous tissue (such as ear cartilage or septal cartilage) is recommended.

Benefits of Bulbous Nose Surgery

ChatGPT Image August 6, 2026, 11_52_50 AM

❶ Use of Autologous Cartilage

Safety is enhanced by using autologous tissue such as ear cartilage, septal cartilage, or rib cartilage.

❷ Reduced Risk of Complications Even in the Long Term

There is a lower risk of complications such as drooping of the nasal tip or asymmetry.

❸ Harmonious Surgery Tailored to Your Face

By using the most biocompatible implants possible, the risk of complications such as rejection reactions and capsular contracture is reduced.

❹ A Natural Shape Through the Use of Fascia

When necessary, the implant is additionally wrapped in fascia to refine the nasal tip into a more natural shape.

❺ Minimized Rejection Reactions and Complications

For any type of nasal tip, including bulbous, upturned, or drooping tips, the angle and shape are adjusted appropriately to minimize complications.

Suitable in These Cases

❶ When the nasal tip is low compared with the nasal bridge, making the nose appear flattened

❷ When you want a more sophisticated appearance by adding facial dimension

❸ When a drooping nasal tip makes the nose appear long

❹ When you have a bulbous nose with abundant tip soft tissue and want a sleeker shape

LUHO Plastic Surgery Rhinoplasty Materials

To reduce the possibility of complications, LUHO uses autologous tissue whenever possible during rhinoplasty.

❶ Ear Cartilage

Its elasticity makes it suitable for reinforcing the shape of the nasal tip.

Suitable for elevating the nasal tip or lengthening the nose.

❸ Rib Cartilage

It has the greatest support and durability and is used for revision surgery.
