What is Bulbous / Big Nose Rhinoplasty?
There are two main reasons for the formation of a pear-shaped (bulb-shaped) nose: the skin of the tip of the nose is too thick with excess soft tissue; when the septal cartilage is too thick or large. With this type of correction, the tip of the nose becomes sharper and more
refined.
Description of the procedure
For a wide and bulbous tip, it is necessary to remove excess cartilage and / or reshape the nose tip using septal, ear or costal cartilage. A narrow nose tip can make facial features even more attractive. Therefore, during the operation, it is possible to simultaneously correct the
symmetry of the nostrils and raise the nasal dorsum to obtain a more graceful nose.
Who is a candidate?
Recommended to those who:
- Have a round, bulky nasal tip due to thick skin or oversized cartilage
- Feel their nasal tip lacks definition and appears shapeless
- Have excess soft tissue at the tip of the nose
- Desire a more refined, sculpted nasal tip without changing the overall nose size
Pear-shaped nose Surgical methods
If the cartilage wings are wide and spread apart
The cartilage is trimmed to a small size and both sides are sutured. Autologous cartilage is then added as support between the walls of the nasal cavity.
If you have subcutaneous fat and thick skin
Fat and soft tissue inside the tip of the nose can be removed to make the skin thinner and lift the tip of the nose.
