Bulbous nose correction

• A bulbous nose can't be fixed just by raising the bridge. Skin thickness, the amount of fat, and even the angle at which the cartilage spreads all need to be considered. We remove unnecessary fat from the tip and precisely bring the spread-out alar cartilages together, creating a sleek, well-defined tip from every angle.

Who bulbous nose correction is for

• The nose is large overall
• The tip is blunt and low
• The nostril wings are wide and flared
• The skin and fat of the nostril wings are thick
• You want a slim, sleek nose line
• The nose looks squashed compared with the bridge
• The alar cartilages (the wing-shaped tip cartilages) spread wide to the sides

What is a bulbous nose?

A bulbous nose is one where the tip looks wide rather than slim, either because the alar cartilages of the tip are overdeveloped and spread to the sides, or because the skin and fat covering the tip are thick.

No two noses are alike: bulbous nose correction by type

01

Case

Bulbous nose caused by spread-apart alar cartilages

The bridge is supported with septal cartilage or other material, and then the spread-apart alar cartilages are tied together. Depending on the design, the tip can be raised further to shape the line.

02

Case

Bulbous nose caused by thick subcutaneous tissue and fat at the tip

A bulbous nose can be corrected by removing the right amount of subcutaneous tissue and fat.

In the end, the tip is what makes a nose surgery complete

No matter how high the bridge, a clunky tip can't look refined. Rather than simply making it slimmer, we consider the balance of your whole face to create a well-defined tip line from every angle.

The key to a successful first surgery: a deeper level of analysis

Successful primary rhinoplasty at DOY JUN Plastic Surgery

Surgery planned on outward appearance alone is more likely to fail. The nose has a complex three-dimensional structure, so the first step toward success is knowing the exact condition of the bone and cartilage hidden beneath the skin.

At DOY JUN Plastic Surgery, advanced 3D CT imaging lets us examine the internal structures in detail, including those the naked eye cannot see, to make surgery more accurate and safer.

Precise diagnosis

Before surgery, we analyze in fine detail the thickness and width of your nasal bones and the condition of your skin tissue, which differ from person to person. This helps us head off unexpected problems during surgery so it proceeds according to the planned design.

Septum assessment

We check the size, shape, and curvature of the septal cartilage, the key material in primary rhinoplasty, ahead of time. By accurately predicting how much cartilage can be harvested, we build a safe surgical plan without unnecessary extra cartilage harvesting.

Functional assessment

In the same visit, we also diagnose functional problems inside the nose that cause congestion, such as a deviated septum or enlarged inferior turbinates. Improving not only how the nose looks but also how it works leads to greater satisfaction after surgery.

DOY JUN Plastic Surgery promises a first nose surgery so satisfying it can be your last

We don't simply raise the bridge. We design your nose in proportion to your forehead, chin, and cheekbones, creating a defined, three-dimensional line that looks most natural on your face and won't look dated even as trends change.

We create a nose you'll be happy with every time you look, one that lets you show off your profile in photos with confidence.

6 details that make the difference in results: this is nose surgery at DOY JUN Plastic Surgery

It's not just about raising the bridge. From ideal line design to functional improvements you can't see and a safe surgical environment, DOY JUN meets the standards that nose surgery calls for.

A profile you'll want to show off

Through a thorough consultation and examination, we confirm the bridge line and tip shape you want. Then we perform a primary rhinoplasty you'll be happy with, taking into account your face shape and the look you're going for.

Striking or natural

For your first nose surgery, we design around your preference for a more striking or a more natural look.

Precise 3D CT analysis

We precisely assess what the naked eye can't see, including bone size, the shape of the septal cartilage, and how much it curves.

Three-dimensional design

We look beyond the nose itself and consider the face as a whole, including the forehead, the height between the brows, the bridge line, the tip, the nasolabial angle, and the chin.

Surgery by the Representative Director

The Representative Director, who understands what patients need, handles the entire process personally, from consultation to performing the surgery. This eases anxiety and leads to greater satisfaction.

Functional improvement

A nose should be beautiful, but its essential role as the organ you breathe through matters too. We also improve functional problems that cause nasal blockage, such as a deviated septum and nasal valve narrowing.
