Bulbous Nose Rhinoplasty
A bulbous nasal tip appears when it is wider and lower than the nasal bridge. Correction involves gathering the cartilage, removing unnecessary soft tissue, and elevating the tip. We comprehensively consider nasal base width, tip structure, and soft tissues to refine the nasal tip for a sharp and balanced look.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Rhinoplasty
Is implant-free revision surgery possible for contracted nose cases?
Contracture is often caused by inflammation from implants like silicone or Gore-Tex. In revision surgery, it is recommended to avoid reusing implants. If contracture is implant-related, the standard is to remove the implant and perform the surgery without it.
Is implant-free rhinoplasty possible for everyone?
Whether or not to use an implant is a matter of choice. However, there may be limitations to how much the nasal bridge can be raised without an implant, which will be explained during consultation. If the nasal bridge is of average height, enhancing the nasal tip can make the nose stand out, making implant-free rhinoplasty a viable option.
Why does nasal tip drooping occur after rhinoplasty?
Since the implant is supported by the underlying bone, collapse of the nasal bridge is rare. However, if the nasal tip is lower than the bridge, it may appear as tip drooping. If the patient is prone to tip drooping, adjusting the bridge height or using supportive materials can minimize the risk. However, due to the constant pull of gravity, tip drooping may occur over 10 to 20 years as ligaments and surrounding tissues loosen with aging. Even without surgery, the nose naturally droops over time due to aging.
