Patient Overview – Revision Rhinoplasty After Failed Non-Surgical Procedures

This patient had undergone nasal filler (2020) and thread lift (2023), both of which led to a bulbous tip, asymmetry, and irregular contour. Residual materials from these procedures remained, causing structural and aesthetic imbalance.

Expert Commentary – Why Bulbous Tip Correction in Korea Requires Structural Precision

Immediately after surgery – frontal, oblique, and side view showing improved nasal contour and defined nasal tip. — Immediately after surgery: Frontal view, side view, and oblique side view photos.

Many patients with bulbous nose conditions seek subtle changes, but without solid framework correction, the results often fall short. In this case, bulbous tip correction in Korea involved removing filler/thread, reinforcing with cartilage and implant, and resolving functional nasal problems.

A personalized, layered approach was key to achieving natural aesthetics and long-term structural support.
