Bulbous Nose Surgery

Customized surgery that addresses not only aesthetic concerns but also functional issues at the same time

Bulbous Nose/Pinched Nose Surgery

A bulbous nose, characterized by a blunt nasal tip and wide nostrils, can create a coarse and less refined appearance. Excessively reducing the nasal tip to correct a bulbous nose may result in a pinched nose. Yerom Plastic Surgery's bulbous nose surgery is tailored to each individual's nasal condition by removing fat from the thick, wide nasal tip and correcting the cartilage to create a slim nasal line.

Bulbous nose surgery that naturally refines a low, blunt, and broad nasal tip into a slimmer, more defined shape

A bulbous nose refers to a nose with a blunt and broad-looking tip due to thick skin or excess fat at the nasal tip. People with bulbous noses often also have thick and wide nostrils. A blunt, thick nasal tip can create a coarse and less refined impression, and because others' attention may be drawn to the nasal tip, it can easily become a source of concern. When excessively or aggressively reducing the nasal tip to correct a bulbous nose, it may result in a pinched nose. To avoid a pinched appearance, bulbous nose correction should take into account the width and proportions of the nasal bridge and tip, as well as harmony with the overall face. At Yerom, drawing on the extensive surgical experience and expertise of board-certified plastic surgeons, we create a refined nasal line that is balanced and harmonious with the face, with consultation before surgery, surgery, and postoperative care all conducted under the responsibility of a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Yerom Bulbous Nose/Pinched Nose Surgery Methods

Bulbous nose surgery requires different surgical methods depending on the cause of the bulbous nose, such as excessively developed alar cartilages at the nasal tip, laterally flared cartilages, or excessive subcutaneous fat at the nasal tip. When the alar cartilages at the nasal tip are wide, part of the cartilage is removed to reduce its size and bring it toward the center. When the alar cartilages are flared to the sides, both cartilages are brought together. When there is abundant fat and thick skin tissue at the nasal tip, the thickness of the skin is reduced and fatty tissue at the nasal tip is removed to make the tip slimmer and more defined. However, when reducing the nasal tip to improve a bulbous nose, in order to avoid a pinched appearance, the surgical approach must differ depending on the cause of the bulbous nose.the nasal tip must not be made narrower than the width of the nasal bridge.

Candidates for Bulbous Nose/Pinched Nose Surgery

The ideal angle between the nasal tip and nasal bridge is 45 degrees. In cases of upturned or short noses, simply raising the nose with an implant can make it appear even shorter and more upturned, making this a highly complex procedure that requires the skilled expertise of a board-certified plastic surgeon. Therefore, it is important to achieve a natural nasal line through an accurate diagnosis.
