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

谁是合适的候选人？

• Stable health and realistic expectations
• Concern mainly about width (bridge, mid-vault, or base)
• Willing to consider conservative change to avoid airway compromise
• 欢迎初诊或翻修病例

Personalized Planning at UE Plastic Surgery

我们评估鼻梁宽度、鼻根高度、中部鼻梁支撑、鼻翼基底宽度与鼻翼外扩程度、鼻孔椭圆度（高度/宽度）、鼻尖突出度/旋转度、皮肤厚度以及气道功能。毫米级照片映射有助于术前确定精确的缩小方案。

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
• 疤痕护理：切口底部用胶带/硅胶贴扎 防晒
• 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
