Refine a Broad Bridge or Base With Natural, Balanced Contours

Wide nose surgery narrows a broad bridge and/or wide nostril base to improve front-view harmony while protecting nasal function. At UE Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, our female board-certified rhinoplasty specialist uses conservative, structure-first techniques to create elegant width reduction—never pinched, never over-narrowed.

Why Patients Choose Wide Nose Correction

• Broad bony bridge or wide middle vault on front view
• Wide or flared nostrils (alar base)
• Boxy lower nose or bulbous tip contributing to width
• Desire for slimmer, proportional lines that fit facial features
• Maintain natural identity while improving definition

Who Is a Good Candidate?

• Stable health and realistic expectations
• Concern mainly about width (bridge, mid-vault, or base)
• Willing to consider conservative change to avoid airway compromise
• Primary or revision cases welcome

Planificación personalizada en Cirugía Plástica UE

Evaluamos el ancho del puente, la altura del radix, el soporte de la bóveda media, el ancho de la base alar vs. el ensanchamiento, la elipse de las fosas nasales (altura/anchura), la proyección/rotación de la punta, el grosor de la piel y la función de la vía aérea. El mapeo fotográfico milimétrico ayuda a consensuar reducciones precisas antes de la cirugía.

Techniques We May Use

• Controlled Osteotomies (Bone Narrowing): Refines a wide bony vault and straightens dorsal lines.
• Spreader Grafts (When Needed): Preserve the internal valve after narrowing to protect breathing.
• Cartilage Shaping or Tip Plasty: Slim a boxy tip that makes the nose appear wider.
• Alar Base Reduction (Conservative): Sill and/or alar wedge excisions to address nostril width/flare with discreet scars placed in natural shadows.
• Camuflaje de tejidos blandos: suavizado de fascia/SMAS para contornos uniformes en piel fina.

Our philosophy: refine width while preserving natural curvature and airflow.

What to Expect on Surgery Day

• Anesthesia: General (local/sedation for limited base work possible)
• Time: ~1.5–3 hours depending on scope
• Approach: Open or closed; external splint ~5–7 days if bony work is done
• Disposición: Alta el mismo día en la mayoría de los casos.

Recovery & Aftercare

• Swelling/bruising: typically 1–2 weeks (bridge work may bruise under the eyes)
• Sutures (alar base): usually removed around day 5–7
• Exercise: avoid heavy workouts ~3–4 weeks
• Scar care: taping/silicone + sun protection for base incisions
• Refinement continues over several months as edema settles

Results You Can Expect

• Slimmer bridge and/or narrower base with natural alar curves
• Improved front-view symmetry and definition
• Balanced proportions with tip, lips, and chin
• Preserved or improved breathing when valve support is planned

Combining Procedures for Best Harmony

• Tip Plasty to reduce boxiness that adds apparent width
• Dorsal Refinement (hump smoothing) for clean lines
