Introduction – Personalized Bulbous Nose Correction

Hello, this is Dr. Cha-Young Kang from Nose Lab Clinic.

TToday, I’ll introduce a patient case focused on bulbous nose correction combined with nostril asymmetry improvement. The design aimed to create a masculine straight bridge while maintaining natural balance and function.

Design consultation photos of a male rhinoplasty patient – frontal, left side, and oblique side views. Preoperative assessment images highlighting a bulbous nasal tip and nostril asymmetry. — Design Consultation: Frontal View, Left Side View, and Oblique Side View Photos

Preoperative consultation photos of a male patient – right side, oblique side, and nostril view. Assessment of nostril asymmetry and low nasal bridge start prior to closed rhinoplasty. — Design Consultation: Right Side View, Oblique Side View, and Nostril View Photos

1. Initial Assessment

a. Frontal View

Bulbous, wide nasal tip
Nostril asymmetry
Flat, broad nasal shape

b. Side Profile

Droopy nasal tip
Slight protrusion of the upper lip
Low nasal bridge origin

c. Nostril & Columella

Asymmetrical nostrils
Right-deviated columella

2. Patient’s Requests

Refine bulbous nasal shape
Create a straight, masculine bridge
Keep the tip natural, not upturned
Improve nasal airflow and breathing
Avoid an overly sharp or artificial result

3. Surgical Approach

a. Structural Refinement

Bulbous Nose Correction by refining nasal tip
Formation of a straight nasal bridge (masculine line)
Correction of columella deviation

b. Aesthetic Balance

Tip reshaping for elegance
Nasolabial angle correction
Symmetry enhancement

c. Functional Enhancement

Septoplasty for better breathing
Turbinate reduction via radiofrequency
Improved internal nasal airflow

4. Surgical Outcomes

Before and immediately after frontal photos of a male patient undergoing rhinoplasty – left shows pre-op with bulbous nasal tip, right shows improved nasal tip definition and nostril symmetry — Before (Left) / Immediately After (Right)

a. Frontal View

Sharper, more balanced nasal tip
Reduced bulbosity
Improved nostril symmetry

"Before and immediately after side view photos of a male patient’s rhinoplasty – left shows low and drooping nasal bridge, right shows straight and masculine nasal bridge after surgery. — Before (Left) / Immediately After (Right)

b. Side Profile

Masculine, straight nasal bridge
Improved nasolabial angle
Balanced overall nasal projection

Before and immediately after oblique view photos of a male patient’s rhinoplasty – left shows wide nasal tip, right shows improved nasal symmetry and refined bridge after surgery — Before (Left) / Immediately After (Right)

c. Nostril & Columella

Aligned columella
Reinforced nasal base
Symmetrical nostrils

Before and immediately after nostril symmetry correction in a male patient – left shows uneven nostrils, right shows improved symmetry post-surgery. — Before (Left) / Immediately After (Right)

5. Expert Insights on Bulbous Nose Correction

Immediately after surgery – frontal, side, and oblique side view of a male patient showing refined nasal tip and improved symmetry. — Immediately After Surgery: Frontal, Side, and Oblique Side View Photos

Immediately after surgery – nostril view of male patient showing improved columella alignment and nostril symmetry. — Immediately After Surgery: Nostril View Photos

This bulbous nose correction case required a delicate balance between aesthetics and function.The goal was not just to refine the tip, but to form a naturally masculine straight nasal line that avoids sharpness or exaggeration.

With non-open (closed) rhinoplasty, we ensured minimal scarring and fast recovery.Breathing function was also enhanced through internal corrections.

At Nose Lab, all surgeries are performed using a closed (non-open) approach.
