Before and After: Bulbous Nose Correction with Dorsal Hump Reduction

Hello, this is HIT Plastic Surgery.

People consider rhinoplasty for a variety of reasons:

whether the nose is overly large, has an uneven dorsal hump,

is too low, or presents other aesthetic concerns.

To address all of these issues effectively, an accurate and thorough consultation

evaluating the specific condition of your nose is essential.

This detailed planning is what ensures a truly satisfying surgical outcome.

Surgical Plan: Nasal bridge, nasal tip (donated rib cartilage), columella correction, nasolabial angle correction, bulbous tip correction (fat removal, cartilage binding), dorsal hump reduction

Before and After: Bulbous Nose Correction with Dorsal Hump Reduction — Before Surgery

This patient had multiple areas requiring improvement.

Looking at the lateral profile, the nasal tip was bulbous,

there was a prominent dorsal hump, and both the columella

and the nasolabial angle needed careful correction.

Ultimately, a comprehensive surgical plan was established.

While prioritizing bulbous tip correction and hump reduction,

we also refined the columella and nasolabial angle simultaneously.

You can see that the previously rounded, bulbous tip has become sleek and defined.

The uneven dorsal hump has completely

disappeared without a trace.

The nasal profile now flows smoothly and naturally,

with a significantly elevated bridge and tip.

And here is the frontal view.

From the front as well, the transformative refinement

is clearly noticeable.

For severe bulbous noses, combining fat removal

with cartilage binding delivers exceptional results.

If you are struggling with a bulbous tip or a hump nose,

a personalized consultation can help you find

the right aesthetic solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most effective surgical approach for a severely bulbous nose?

For a severely bulbous nose, combining soft tissue/fat removal with alar cartilage binding provides excellent results. Removing thick, excess tissue while repositioning and binding the cartilage creates a significantly slimmer, well-defined nasal tip.

Can a dorsal hump and a bulbous nose be corrected simultaneously?

Yes, both concerns can be addressed together in a single surgical plan. Tailored to the patient's nasal anatomy, the dorsal hump is smoothed down, while the bulbous tip is refined alongside tip plasty using donated rib cartilage and adjustments to the columella and nasolabial angle.

What material was used for the nasal tip plasty in this case?

In this case, donated rib (costal) cartilage was used to support and shape the nasal tip. It provided sturdy structural support to enhance tip projection and achieve a natural, refined contour based on the customized surgical plan.

When can the changes in nasal contour be observed after surgery?

Noticeable improvements can typically be seen around one month post-op. As demonstrated in this case, by the 1-month mark, the dorsal hump was eliminated, the bulbous tip was visibly slimmed down, and the overall height and projection were significantly enhanced.
