Bulbous nose, thick bridge and blunt tip correction — rhinoplasty before and after (right after surgery)
These KOWON Plastic Surgery rhinoplasty before-and-after photos, taken right after surgery, show the actual direction and structure of the change.
[Rhinoplasty notes — Dr. Kim Hyung-taek, KOWON Plastic Surgery]
Hello, this is Dr. Kim Hyung-taek of KOWON Plastic Surgery.
This patient had a bulbous nose with a spread tip, and the bridge line looked thick and blunt, giving a heavy impression overall. In a case like this, simply raising the bridge makes improvement difficult, so it is important to refine the structure of the tip to centre it and to design the bridge and tip to connect naturally.
The spread, bulbous tip was brought together with tip-cartilage suturing, supported with a strut and tidied by removing soft tissue; the thick, blunt bridge line was adjusted to suit the proportions of the face; and the columella, nasolabial angle and philtrum line were corrected together.
As a result, the previously sunken midface gained more three-dimensional volume, the heavy look of a nose that seemed buried eased, and the overall balance of the face was tidied naturally.
Right after surgery is the stage before the swelling has fully formed, so it is a point at which the bridge and tip lines and the overall structure created by the rhinoplasty can be seen relatively clearly.
KOWON Plastic Surgery starts from natural-looking change, but aims beyond a result that simply doesn’t show — for a “natural-glam” rhinoplasty that brings out the flow of the line and its details.
As recovery goes on and the swelling subsides and the tissues settle, the nose takes on a softer, more natural shape. Rhinoplasty results can differ with each person’s skin and structure, and the more settled final result can be seen after a sufficient recovery period.
