Nose Types and Rhinoplasty

The nose, located at the center of the face,
greatly affects one’s impression even with subtle changes,
so surgical methods should be tailored to each individual’s facial structure and nose type.

At 345 Plastic Surgery, we specialize in creating well-balanced,
three-dimensional, and aesthetically pleasing noses by studying the ideal height and shape in harmony with the face.

Bulbous Nose Rhinoplasty
for a Slim and Defined Nose

At 345 Plastic Surgery, we consider nasal width, tip and skin thickness, and nasal bridge shape comprehensively to create a naturally balanced nose.

Nose Type 02

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.

Bulbous Nose Rhinoplasty Process
at 345 Plastic Surgery

We provide natural and satisfying results
by tailoring the surgical method to the cause of the bulbous nose.
Case 01

Developed Alar Cartilage

Excessively wide alar cartilage is partially excised or reduced and sutured to refine the nasal tip.
Case 02

Laterally Spread Alar Cartilage

Widely spread alar cartilages are dissected, reshaped, and sutured at the center to correct the bulbous appearance.
Case 03

Thick Skin and
Excess Subcutaneous Tissue

After removing subcutaneous tissue under the nasal tip skin, cartilage is adjusted or grafted to achieve a smooth and defined nasal tip.

How, Why,

Frequently Asked Questions
About Rhinoplasty

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.

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.

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.
