What Is a Bulbous Nose?

A Bulbous Nose refers to a nose
where the tip appears rounded, wide, and blunt, giving the face a less refined impression.

Through surgery that corrects the thick soft tissue and cartilage,
the nasal tip can be reshaped to appear slimmer and more defined,
enhancing overall facial balance and sophistication.

Retmus Bulbous Nose Surgery Methods

Retmus Bulbous Nose surgery uses precise design and a stable surgical process to minimize scarring and create natural-looking results.

1.
When the Alar Cartilage Is Large or Flared

Method 01
Before Surgery

A bulbous nose where the alar cartilage is large and spread outward, making the nasal tip appear blunt.

Method 02
Intra-Nasal Incision

The alar cartilage is refined and reshaped.

Method 03
Reinforcement if Needed

Rib cartilage is inserted into the septum to support the nasal tip.

2.
When the Soft Tissue Is Thick

Method 01
Before Surgery

A bulbous nose appearance caused by thick skin and soft tissue.

Method 02
Intra-Nasal Incision

The dermal layer and subcutaneous fat of the soft tissue are separated.

Method 03
Fat Removal

Excess subcutaneous fat is removed as much as possible.

Method 04
Cartilage Reinforcement

Rib cartilage is inserted into the septum to firmly reposition and support the cartilage.

3.
When the Alar Base Is Wide

Method 01
Before Surgery

A condition in which the alar base is widened laterally, creating the appearance of a bulbous nose.

Method 02
Intra-Nasal Incision

Alar narrowing is performed to correct the widened area.

Method 03
After Surgery

The alar base appears slimmer and more refined.

Precise Preoperative Diagnosis Through 3D-CT Analysis

At Retmus Plastic Surgery, we actively use 3D-CT imaging to analyze the internal condition of the nose, which is difficult to assess visually.

Assess the degree of nasal deviation and septal deviation
Evaluate nasal obstruction
Analyze the shape and size of the septal cartilage
Examine the width and structure of the nasal bones

Ideal Candidates

Cases Requiring Nose Revision Surgery by Type

01
Patients who are dissatisfied with previous surgical results, resulting in an unnatural or awkward nose shape.

02
Patients with hardened implants or tissue contraction, or those who have experienced inflammation or foreign body reactions.

03
Patients whose nasal shape has changed over time after surgery, such as contracted nose, upturned nose, pinched nose, or hooked nose.

04
Patients whose nasal line is not harmonious with the face, appearing flat or lacking three-dimensional balance.

05
Patients who require a stable revision surgery that also addresses nasal function (e.g., breathing)
