Hello! We are Diva Plastic Surgery, ready to help you overcome your stress about your nose shape!

A blunt nasal tip often appears with wide nostrils,

and many people feel that improving only this part is insufficient due to a low nasal bridge.

For such clients, Diva Plastic Surgery offers customized bulbous nose rhinoplasty solutions,

creating an edgy and slim nose that balances each individual's face.

With this expertise, Dr. Kim Jong-myung, the director of Diva Plastic Surgery,

had the honor of being interviewed by the Kookmin Ilbo newspaper regarding bulbous nose rhinoplasty.

So, shall we find out what bulbous nose rhinoplasty is, as introduced by our chief director, through the news article below?

In the past, a bulbous nose was often considered to bring good fortune according to physiognomy, conveying a positive impression. However, with recent changes in beauty standards, it has become a significant complex for many. A blunt nasal tip and wide nostrils can make the nose appear spread out, creating a stuffy impression and detracting from a refined image. To improve this, many people are now focusing on bulbous nose rhinoplasty.

There are broadly two types of bulbous noses. The causes vary, including excessively developed or widely spread alar cartilages at the nasal tip, or an abundance of soft tissue and subcutaneous fat in the nostrils. Therefore, instead of simply deciding on bulbous nose surgery, it is crucial to accurately diagnose the cause of the bulbous nose and find a renowned rhinoplasty clinic that performs customized surgery according to its specific type.

If the nasal tip appears spread due to separated alar cartilages, the method involves gathering the separated cartilages. If the nose tip to the nostrils consists of a thick fat layer, fat removal combined with alar reduction surgery can achieve a sharper nasal tip.

Furthermore, a bulbous nose is often accompanied by a low nasal bridge. By performing bulbous nose rhinoplasty and alar reduction to slim down a wide nose, and then conducting low nose rhinoplasty to naturally raise the nasal bridge and tip using autologous tissue, both frontal and profile improvements can be achieved.

In this regard, Dr. Kim Jong-myung, the chief director of Diva Plastic Surgery in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam, stated, ‘The causes of a blunt nasal tip vary for each person, so even if it's the same bulbous nose surgery, it should not be performed in the same way for everyone.’ He added, ‘Through thorough consultation with medical staff, one should choose a hospital that does not recommend unnecessary surgery if improvement is possible with a different surgical method tailored to their bulbous nose type or with simple procedures.’

Dr. Kim continued, ‘However, methods to improve a bulbous nose are diverse, including incisional methods like bulbous nose rhinoplasty and alar reduction surgery, and non-incisional methods such as alar reduction injections, Hiko, and nose fillers.’ He emphasized, ‘It is important to have a 1:1 consultation to identify the specific shape of the blunt nasal tip and to meet medical staff who can suggest methods to improve the overall shape of the nose in relation to one's face shape.’
