Surgical Background of Bulbous Tip Rhinoplasty Korea

Patient History and Key Concerns

The patient presented with a bulbous and wide nasal tip, a broad alar base, and a protrusive mouth that together created a heavy facial impression.

She also had a history of nasal filler injections performed nearly a decade ago, with partial removal earlier this year. Residual filler material, combined with septal deviation and rhinitis, contributed to both aesthetic imbalance and nasal obstruction.

In such cases, Bulbous Tip Rhinoplasty Korea requires a comprehensive approach that addresses tip structure, base width, and nasal function simultaneously.

Surgical Plan for Bulbous Tip Rhinoplasty Korea

Structural Tip Refinement Using Donor Rib Cartilage

To narrow and elevate the bulbous tip, donated rib cartilage was used to reinforce and reshape the nasal tip framework.

This provided strong, stable support and allowed precise control of projection and definition without creating an artificial appearance.

Alar Cartilage Trimming for Tip Definition

The alar cartilages were delicately trimmed and reshaped to further refine the tip contour. This step is essential in achieving a slimmer and more elegant tip in Bulbous Tip Rhinoplasty Korea.

Alar Base Reduction for Frontal Balance

The wide alar base was proportionally reduced to create a narrower and more refined frontal view. Care was taken to maintain natural proportions and avoid over-resection.

Nasolabial Angle Correction to Improve Profile

A flat side profile caused by a protruding upper lip was improved by adjusting the nasolabial angle. This enhanced facial depth and overall harmony.

Complete Removal of Residual Filler

Any remaining filler material in the nasal bridge was completely removed during surgery to prevent long-term complications such as inflammation or deformation.

Functional Correction of Nasal Obstruction

Septal deviation and hypertrophic turbinates were corrected to restore normal airflow, ensuring that functional improvement accompanied aesthetic refinement.

Surgical Outcomes After Bulbous Tip Rhinoplasty Korea

Narrowed and refined nasal tip with natural elevation
Improved tip definition through precise cartilage work
Reduced alar base width for a slimmer frontal appearance
Enhanced side profile with corrected nasolabial angle
Complete elimination of residual filler material
Restored nasal breathing through septoplasty and turbinate reduction

The final result was a natural, elegant, and well-balanced nose that harmonized with the patient’s facial features.

Surgeon’s Commentary on Bulbous Tip Rhinoplasty Korea

Bulbous tip correction is not simply a matter of reducing tissue. It requires careful restructuring of the nasal tip framework to achieve both refinement and long-term stability.

In Bulbous Tip Rhinoplasty Korea, structural cartilage support—particularly with rib cartilage—plays a critical role in maintaining definition without compromising softness.

Equally important is proportional alar base reduction and nasolabial angle correction, which together significantly influence overall facial harmony.

When residual filler or functional issues such as septal deviation are present, addressing them during the same procedure ensures a more predictable and satisfying outcome.
