From a flat, rough image to a three-dimensional, refined face and image.
Tailored to each case
By applying the optimal surgical method for the symptoms of a bulbous nose, you can feel the change to a slimmer nose after surgery.
How do bulbous nose surgeries differ?
Learn about the types of bulbous nose and compare how they differ from a normal nose.
Normal nasal tip
A typical nasal tip shape, for comparison with a bulbous nose
Bulbous tip
A bulbous nose with a blunt nasal tip and thick subcutaneous tissue
Boxy tip
A bulbous nose with large nasal wing cartilage and a wide gap between left and right
When wide alar cartilage causes a bulbous nose
The ends of the alar cartilage are trimmed to a suitable width, then the spread cartilage on both sides is sutured and the tip gathered into a slimmer line.
Before surgery
A nose spread wide because of wide alar cartilage
Cartilage resection
Resecting the spread cartilage
Gathering the cartilage
The cartilage is gathered inward
After surgery
Bulbous nose correction
When the alar cartilage has spread and caused a bulbous nose
The spread alar cartilage on both sides is gathered and tied together to correct it. If the nasal tip is low, autologous tissue can be added, and a support can be set in the center to reinforce the nasal bridge for improvement.

Gathering the cartilage

When a lot of fat at the nasal tip causes a bulbous nose
Tip fat is removed in an appropriate amount, adjusted so the tip does not look pinched. When the causes are combined, the three methods above are used together.
