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

Personalized Planning at UE Plastic Surgery

We assess bridge width, radix height, middle-vault support, alar base width vs. flare, nostril ellipse (height/width), tip projection/rotation, skin thickness, and airway function. Millimeter-level photo mapping helps agree on precise reductions before surgery.

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.
• Soft-Tissue Camouflage: Fascia/SMAS smoothing for seamless contours in thin skin.

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
• Disposition: Same-day discharge in most cases

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
• Septoplasty/Valve Support for function
• Chin augmentation or filler for overall facial balance
