[Diva Plastic Surgery] Correcting a wide, blunt ‘bulbous nose’ with ‘alar reduction surgery · injections’

Hello. This is Diva Plastic Surgery.

The nose, located in the very center of the face, significantly impacts both functional and aesthetic aspects.

Furthermore, the nose is a three-dimensional feature, which is why many people with a round, blunt-tipped ‘bulbous nose’ are very interested in solutions to improve it.

First, there are two ways to improve a bulbous nose: surgical and non-surgical.

Among these, alar reduction injection, performed without skin incision, refers to a procedure that designs a beautiful nose while considering the overall balance of the face.

Along with this, methods like designing the nose as desired using a filler with three times the elasticity, and Hiko, which enhances the three-dimensionality of the nasal tip, are attracting the attention of many people of all ages.

These are representative non-surgical solutions.

For those who desire a more satisfying nose for a longer period than the non-surgical solutions introduced earlier, we can recommend alar reduction surgery, which can be performed with minimal incision.

This procedure helps improve the shape of the nostrils to an oval and narrows the overall width of the nose, thereby creating a more refined image in harmony with the entire face.

If you have any further questions about today's solution, which is successfully performed at our clinic with extensive experience and skilled know-how,

Correcting a blunt ‘bulbous nose’ with ‘alar reduction surgery · injections’

The nose, located at the center of the face, is an important area not only functionally but also aesthetically. As the most three-dimensional part of the face, even slight changes to the nose can significantly alter one's impression. Therefore, individuals with wide alar or a blunt-tipped ‘bulbous nose’ are seeking image improvement through alar reduction injections or alar reduction surgery.

First, alar reduction injection, also known as ‘nose sculpting injection,’ is a procedure that creates the most suitable nose shape by considering the overall balance of the face. Composed of collagen-degrading and fat-dissolving components, it breaks down the soft tissue and fat that form the nasal alar. Even with just 2-3 treatments, excessively expanded alar can be effectively reduced.

A single treatment can achieve a 2-3mm alar reduction effect, and the procedure time is short, approximately 10 minutes. The effects are immediate and quick after the procedure, and since there is minimal scarring and swelling, there is no hindrance to resuming daily life immediately after the treatment.

Furthermore, for those concerned about wide alar and a low nasal bridge, Hiko, a non-incisional alar reduction procedure, is gaining popularity. Hiko is a procedure that combines PDO threads (dissolvable threads), which have received the highest Grade 4 from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, with fillers. It is a simple injection procedure that helps reduce the size of the alar, like alar Botox, or provides the effect of nose fillers to raise a low nasal bridge, creating a three-dimensional nose shape as if rhinoplasty had been performed.

It can be applied to various nose shapes, including low noses, bulbous noses, and aquiline noses, and can address concerns about the nasal bridge, tip, and alar lines. Particularly, 30-50% of the changed support effect from internal adhesions formed in soft tissue and the actual increase in tissue remains semi-permanently, which is an advantage for continuously maintaining an appropriate height.

However, since these procedural methods are temporary, if one desires more definite bulbous nose surgery, choosing alar reduction surgery is appropriate. This is a bulbous nose rhinoplasty that corrects the shape of the nostrils to an oval or narrows the width of the nose, creating a more harmonious and refined image.

The process of narrowing the alar is carried out by varying the incision method depending on the thickness of the alar and the extent to which it spreads widely. By reducing the alar to an ideal nose shape that matches the individual's facial proportions, a change in facial impression can be expected. The key is to proceed with a precise process to ensure a natural look without scarring.

Therefore, when considering alar reduction, rather than prioritizing bulbous nose surgery costs and prices, it is most important to carefully review reviews from people who have undergone surgery at a plastic surgery clinic with a specialist who has rich experience and know-how in the field. As such, we recommend finding a reputable clinic for nose surgery and bulbous nose rhinoplasty that accurately diagnoses the patient's individual condition and determines the appropriate method for treatment and surgery.
