Closed Rhinoplasty Korea for Low Nasal Bridge and Bulbous Tip Correction

Low nasal bridge combined with a bulbous nasal tip requires structural elevation and reinforcement rather than simple height augmentation.

In this primary rhinoplasty case, a low bridge, bulbous tip, and retracted columella were corrected through cartilage-based structural reconstruction and controlled repositioning to achieve a naturally elevated nasal line and long-term stability.

Hello, this is Dr. Cha-Young Kang, Chief Director of NoseLab Clinic.

This case involves a primary rhinoplasty patient seeking correction of a low nasal bridge and bulky nasal tip while maintaining a natural and harmonious appearance.

Patient Condition and Structural Diagnosis

The patient presented with a low nasal bridge, thick soft-tissue envelope, broad lower lateral cartilages, and insufficient tip support.

Clinical analysis showed that simple augmentation would not correct the bulky appearance or maintain stable projection without internal reinforcement.

Surgical Background – Structural Primary Rhinoplasty with Closed Rhinoplasty Korea

Primary correction of low bridge and bulbous tip requires internal framework reinforcement rather than surface augmentation.

For this reason, closed rhinoplasty korea was selected to allow precise internal structural modification without external incisions.

Surgical Plan – Structural Elevation and Proportional Refinement

The surgical plan focused on building a stable internal framework and refining proportions.

Key components included:

• Structural elevation of the nasal bridge using autologous rib cartilage

• Nasal tip reconstruction with rib cartilage to provide strong support

• Bulbous tip refinement through controlled cartilage reshaping

• Repositioning and lowering of a retracted columella

• Nasolabial angle adjustment for balanced side profile

• Septal reinforcement to prevent future tip drooping

Surgical Results – Natural Elevation and Balanced Contour

Postoperative evaluation confirmed stable structural correction and refined proportions.

Frontal view:The nasal bridge appeared naturally elevated with a slimmer and more streamlined tip.

Side profile:A smooth bridge-to-tip transition and corrected columella position created a balanced profile.

Nostril view:Nostril show was reduced, and columellar support improved symmetry.

The nose now appears refined, proportionate, and structurally stable.

Surgeon’s Commentary – Why Structure Matters in Low Bridge and Bulbous Tip Cases

Low bridge and bulbous tip deformities cannot be corrected by adding height alone.

When tip support and columella position are weak, excessive augmentation increases the risk of tip drooping, unnatural contour, and long-term instability.

In this case, autologous rib cartilage provided strong internal support for both bridge elevation and tip reconstruction. The objective was controlled elevation and anatomical balance rather than maximal projection.

This structure-first approach allows long-term stability and natural refinement.

This surgery was performed by Dr. Cha-Young Kang, Chief Director of NoseLab Clinic.

(FAQ)

Q1. Can a low nasal bridge and bulbous tip be corrected at the same time?

Yes. Structural elevation and tip refinement can be performed simultaneously.

Q2. Why is rib cartilage used in primary rhinoplasty?

Rib cartilage provides strong and durable support when stable projection is required.

Q3. Will this surgery make the nose look artificial?

No. Controlled structural refinement focuses on natural proportion and balance.
