Bulbous Nose Surgery at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic

Do you feel your nose tip appears round, wide, or overly prominent? A bulbous nose—characterized by a rounded, enlarged nasal tip—is a common aesthetic concern that can affect overall facial harmony. Bulbous nose surgery is a specialized form of rhinoplasty designed to refine and reshape the nasal tip for a more defined, elegant look.

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, we offer advanced rhinoplasty techniques tailored to correct a bulbous nasal tip while preserving your natural beauty and ethnic features. Whether you're seeking subtle refinement or a dramatic transformation, our experienced team is here to guide you through a safe, personalized journey to a more harmonious appearance.

Why Choose Bulbous Nose Surgery?

Many individuals choose bulbous nose surgery to address:

• A round, fleshy, or boxy nasal tip
• Excessive soft tissue or poorly defined tip cartilage
• Thick skin that obscures nasal definition
• Imbalance between the nasal tip and bridge
• Dissatisfaction with previous nose surgery results

By refining the nasal tip and enhancing overall proportions, this procedure can greatly improve facial symmetry and boost self-confidence.

Tailored Approach to Nasal Tip Refinement

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we understand that nasal anatomy and aesthetic goals vary widely between individuals. We offer customized solutions based on your unique facial structure, skin thickness, and desired outcome.

Key Techniques for Bulbous Nose Correction:

• Tip Cartilage Reshaping: We sculpt and suture the lower lateral cartilages to reduce roundness and create a more refined tip.
• Cartilage Grafting (if needed): Grafts from the septum or ear may be used to support and structure the new shape.
• Alar Base Reduction: In cases where the nostrils appear wide due to the bulbous tip, this technique narrows the nasal base for better proportion.
• Skin Thickness Management: Special attention is given to patients with thick skin to ensure lasting definition and support.

Our goal is to sculpt a natural, defined tip that complements your overall facial features without over-reduction or artificial shaping.

Consultation and Planning

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, where we assess your facial balance, nose structure, and aesthetic preferences.

We will:

• Examine nasal tip shape, cartilage size, and skin condition
• Discuss your cosmetic goals and review medical history
• Show before-and-after photos of similar cases
• Use digital imaging to preview potential outcomes
• Recommend a tailored surgical approach for optimal results

We value clear communication and ensure you feel confident and informed at every step.

The Procedure: What to Expect

Bulbous nose surgery is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes 1.5–2.5 hours, depending on the complexity and techniques involved.

Surgical Steps:

• Incision: Most cases use the open rhinoplasty approach, with a small incision across the columella (the strip of skin between the nostrils) for better visibility and precision.
• Reshaping and Grafting: Cartilage is trimmed, repositioned, or reinforced as needed to achieve the desired nasal tip definition.
• Closing the Incisions: The incisions are closed with fine sutures, and internal splints may be placed for support.
• Dressings Applied: A nasal cast is typically worn for about a week to protect the new shape.

You’ll be monitored closely before being discharged the same day.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery from bulbous nose surgery is straightforward but requires patience as the swelling subsides.

• Mild swelling and bruising around the nose and eyes for 1–2 weeks
• Nasal splint is removed after 5–7 days
• Avoid strenuous activities and blowing your nose for 2–3 weeks
• Most patients return to work or social activities within 1 week
• Subtle swelling may persist for a few months, with final results visible around 6–12 months

We provide detailed aftercare guidance and schedule follow-up visits to ensure a smooth healing process.
