[Girin Plastic Surgery] - Bulbous Tip Nose

"Can a bulbous tip be improved with surgery? Correction methods for a bulbous tip"


Hello, I'm Dr. Han Ji-hyun, the doctor at Girin Plastic Surgery Center which is located in Gangnam, Korea specializing in nasal procedures.

 

"Can the bulbous tip be improved with surgery?"

 

Many reviews say that people have to repeat the bulbous tip surgery several times because the feeling of the bulbous tip remains even after the nose surgery.

When it comes to a beautiful nose, it's not just about the height of the nasal bridge but also about achieving a harmonious balance between a smooth nasal line and a well-defined nasal tip. While it's relatively easy to elevate and smoothen the nasal bridge, shaping the nasal tip to perfection involves numerous considerations and can be challenging. The bulbous tip, in particular, is difficult to improve through simple nasal bridge elevation.

What is a bulbous tip?

A bulbous tip occurs when the nasal tip cartilage is wide horizontally, and there is thick skin and fat layers compared to the width of the nasal bridge.

A rounded and large nasal tip gives a dull and stuffy appearance, while a refined, slender nasal tip creates an elegant image. That's why many people opt for bulbous tip correction alongside nasal surgery.

 

Correction Methods for a Bulbous Tip:

The correction method for a bulbous tip can vary depending on the size of the cartilage in the nasal tip and the thickness of the skin enveloping it. There are three main scenarios and sometimes a combination of them might be necessary:

 

1) When the nasal tip cartilage is wide:


In this case, the nasal tip bones themselves are wide, making the nasal tip appear round and broad. The surgeon trims the wider part of the cartilage to a suitable width considering the overall nasal shape. Then, they suture and secure the modified nasal tip cartilage to achieve a more refined look.


2) When the nasal tip cartilage is splayed:

If the nasal tip cartilage is splayed in opposite directions, creating a gap between them, the surgeon gathers and sutures the cartilage together. Placing additional cartilage on top can further improve the height and slimness of the nasal tip.

3) When the subcutaneous tissue is thick:


If the subcutaneous tissue is thick at the nasal tip, making the nasal tip appear bulky, some of the subcutaneous fat may be removed to reduce skin thickness. This allows the thinner cartilage to become more visible. Considering that most bulbous tip cases involve thick skin tissue, it's important to address both the cartilage and skin layers for a satisfying outcome.



Dr. Han's Diagnosis:

Here's a case from our hospital where we corrected a bulbous tip through surgery. The patient wanted to enhance their nasal bridge height, reduce the width of the nasal bridge, improve the bulbous tip, and achieve a refined look similar to K-pop idols.

 

[Patient's Wishes]

- Raise the nasal bridge

- Improve nasal bridge width

- Correct the bulbous tip (preferably using autologous cartilage)

- Achieve a glamorous but elegant nose like a K-pop idol (e.g., Winter from aespa)

 

[Dr. Han's Plan]

Considering the patient's typical bulbous tip appearance, we suggested trimming and suturing the cartilage to address the issue. We also recommended reducing the width of the nasal bridge through osteotomy to make the nose appear smaller and less bulbous. Since the patient had thick skin, we advised removing some subcutaneous fat to make the nasal tip more slender and refined. While the patient preferred autologous cartilage for the nasal bridge, we explained that silicone might provide a more satisfying result for achieving the desired height and refinement.

 

Surgery Results:



The images show the patient before and immediately after the surgery, demonstrating a transformation from a low and bulbous nose to a higher, more refined one. This approach doesn't just focus on making the nose narrower and higher but considers factors like the angle, length, and shape of the nasal tip. A careful analysis and diagnosis of the underlying causes of a bulbous tip, along with expert guidance, can lead to effective and satisfying correction. I hope this answers your question about whether a bulbous tip can be improved with surgery. With a precise diagnosis and a well-considered plan, you can definitely overcome the bulbous tip issue.
