Bulbous Nose Correction in Seoul | Gangnam CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic & Cost

What is Bulbous Nose Correction Surgery?

Bulbous nose correction, also known as tip plasty or nasal tip refinement, is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes a rounded or wide nasal tip. A bulbous nose may be caused by thick skin, large cartilage, or poor tip definition. This surgery refines the shape of the tip to create a slimmer, more elegant nasal contour and improve overall facial balance.

At CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, we specialize in precise nasal tip reshaping tailored to your anatomy. Our experienced surgeons use advanced techniques to produce refined, natural-looking results with minimal downtime.

Who is a Good Candidate for Bulbous Nose Correction?

You may be a good candidate for bulbous nose correction surgery if you:

✔ Have a wide, round, or undefined nasal tip
✔ Want a more refined and proportionate nose shape
✔ Are in good physical and emotional health
✔ Have realistic expectations for the outcome
✔ Wish to improve facial harmony without altering the entire nose structure

A consultation at CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic will determine the best surgical or non-surgical plan for your needs.

How is Bulbous Nose Correction Performed?

1. Consultation & Evaluation

• In-depth assessment of nasal tip anatomy, skin thickness, and facial balance
• 3D imaging may be used to simulate potential results

2. Surgical Approach

• The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia
• A small incision is typically made at the base of the nose (open rhinoplasty)
• Techniques include:
– Cartilage reshaping or removal to reduce tip width
– Suturing techniques to refine tip definition
– Use of grafts for structural support if needed
• The procedure typically takes 1 to 2 hours

3. Recovery & Aftercare

• Swelling and mild bruising around the nose are normal
• A nasal splint may be worn for about a week to protect the new shape
• Follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor healing and results
• Most patients resume work and light activity within 5–7 days

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery Timeline:

• Swelling & Bruising: 1–2 weeks
• Return to Work/Daily Activities: 5–7 days
• Exercise & Strenuous Activities: After 3–4 weeks
• Final Results: Become apparent over 2–3 months as swelling subsides

It’s important to follow all aftercare guidelines, including avoiding pressure on the nose and managing swelling as advised by your surgeon.
