Refine a Round or Wide Nasal Tip With Natural Definition

Bulbous nose surgery narrows and shapes a round, boxy, or wide nasal tip to create elegant definition without an artificial or over-rotated look. At UE Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, our female board-certified rhinoplasty specialist uses structure-first techniques to sculpt a refined tip that suits your features and preserves healthy breathing.

Why Patients Choose Bulbous Tip Correction

• Tip looks round, wide, or boxy on front view
• Poor definition of tip highlight/soft triangles
• Thick tip skin obscures shape
• Wide domes or weak cartilage support
• Desire for a slimmer, more elegant tip that still looks like you

Personalized Planning at UE Plastic Surgery

We assess skin thickness, lower lateral cartilage size/shape, dome spacing, nostril symmetry, alar base width, and tip projection/rotation. Photo mapping helps agree on target width and definition before surgery.

Techniques We May Use

• Cephalic Trim (Conservative): Removes a measured portion of excess alar cartilage to reduce bulk without weakening support.
• Dome Sutures & Repositioning: Precise suturing to narrow the domes and sharpen tip definition.
• Lateral Crural Tensioning/Repositioning: Refines width while maintaining the natural alar curve.
• Shield/Onlay Grafts (Subtle): Adds controlled definition under thicker skin without appearing pointy.
• Columellar/Septal Extension Support: Stabilizes projection and prevents droop.
• Alar Base Balancing (Selective): Minor sill/alar wedge only if nostrils contribute to “bulky” look.
• Soft-Tissue Camouflage (Fascia/SMAS): Smooths transitions, especially with thin or irregular skin.

Our approach avoids an over-pinched or “ball-like” tip—refined, never overdone.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

• Bulbous/boxy tip on front view or selfies
• Good general health and realistic expectations
• Willing to prioritize structure and subtlety over aggressive reduction
• Primary or revision cases welcome

What to Expect on Surgery Day

• Anesthesia: General (sedation possible for limited cases)
• Time: ~1.5–3 hours depending on scope
• Approach: Closed for minor shaping; open for complex structural work
• After: External splint ~5–7 days (if combined with bridge work); same-day discharge in most cases

Recovery & Aftercare

• Swelling/bruising: ~1–2 weeks; tip refinement continues for months
• Return to desk work: usually 7–10 days
• Avoid heavy exercise: ~3–4 weeks
• Final tip definition: 6–12 months (longer with thicker skin)
• Edema control, taping (if advised), and scar care (for open approach) provided

Results You Can Expect

• Slimmer, better-defined tip with natural highlight lines
• Improved front-view symmetry and proportion
• Stable projection and rotation—not over-lifted
• Balanced harmony with bridge, lips, and chin

Combining Procedures for Best Balance

• Dorsal refinement if a hump or wide bridge distracts from the tip
• Alar reduction only if base width contributes to bulk
• Chin augmentation/filler for profile harmony
• Skin/laser care to enhance definition under thicker skin
