Bulbous Nose Rhinoplasty: Improved with Customized Alar Reduction Surgery
Bulbous nose and wide nostrils can create a dull impression. Diva Plastic Surgery offers customized alar reduction surgery to create a slim, refined nose that harmonizes with individual facial features.
Hello! We are 'Diva Plastic Surgery', dedicated to creating a slim and edgy nose!
The nose is located in the center of the face, not only balancing the face but also enhancing its three-dimensional appearance. However, many clients are concerned about their nose appearing bulbous, even if there are no issues with the height of the bridge or tip. They are looking into bulbous nose rhinoplasty.
However, these issues can be significantly improved by correcting the thickness of the skin or soft tissues surrounding the nasal tip or the width of the nostrils.
More importantly, Diva Plastic Surgery not only slims down a bulky nose but also possesses the expertise to improve the nose shape to best suit each individual's face.
Thanks to this expertise, a media outlet called Naeoe News Agency even published an interview with Director Kim Jong-myung to answer questions from those concerned about bulbous noses or wide nostrils.
Shall we take a look at what the news article was about?
Appearance management has become a necessity, not an option. As a favorable impression is known to positively influence social life for people of all ages, more and more individuals are embracing not only makeup but also various cosmetic procedures and surgeries.
Among various facial features, the nose, which greatly influences first impressions, receives high interest. In particular, a blunt nasal tip or wide nostrils can give a dull and unrefined impression. Consequently, many people seek to improve their image using alar reduction injections, nasal tip fillers, or alar reduction surgery.
Those who feel burdened by surgery often opt for 'petite' cosmetic procedures like fillers or nose contouring injections. While these methods can address complexes, their effects are temporary, requiring periodic treatments. For those desiring a more definitive change, alar reduction surgery is a wise choice.
Alar reduction is a surgery that reshapes wide nostrils to an ideal nose shape that matches facial proportions, thereby changing the overall facial impression. However, even if the nose appears blunt on the surface, the anatomical structure and skin type differ for each individual, so it is crucial to proceed with careful consideration.
Briefly, surgical methods are largely divided into cases where: △only the lower part of the nostrils is wide, and △the skin of the nostrils is thick.
First, if only the lower part of the nostrils is wide, non-incisional alar reduction is possible by tying the inside of the nose together. After designing the shape and width of the nostrils to match the face shape, the area between the two nostrils is tied to gather the nasal tip.
If the skin of the nostrils is thick, a method to reduce skin tissue is used. This involves excising the lower part of both alar cartilages to reduce their size, bringing them together, and suturing them. The advantage is that the incision line is along the border of the alar, so scars are not very noticeable.
Regarding this, Director Kim Jong-myung of Diva Plastic Surgery in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam, advised, ‘In today's trend of sophisticated and urban images, a bulbous nose with a blunt impression is considered a problem with a particularly high need for improvement.’ He added, ‘While nasal tip fillers or injections are suitable for relatively simple alar reduction, alar reduction surgery can be an alternative for those who desire fundamental changes.’
Director Kim further added, ‘Many people tend to think that simply reducing the nostrils is a relatively simple procedure, but it must be performed considering individual skin types and nose heights, so it is essential to choose a medical team with rich experience and expertise.’
