Why bulbous nose, nostril asymmetry, and nasal obstruction occur together, and how straight bridge line correction is performed

Hello, I am Dr. Peter C. Kang.

Today, I would like to share the case of a patient who underwent surgery for a straight bridge line to improve a bulbous nose and a blunt nasal tip.

1. Front view

• Blunt and broad nasal tip

• Nostril asymmetry

• Bulbous nose shape

2. Profile view

• Drooping tip

• Protruding mouth observed

• Low radix

3. Nostrils

• Nostril asymmetry

• Columella deviated to the right

• Improvement of bulbous nose

• Creating a straight bridge line

• A nasal tip that is not overly sharp

• Avoiding an upturned nose

• Improvement of nasal obstruction

1. Structural improvement

• Bulbous nose correction

• Creating a straight bridge line

• Correction of tilted columella

2. Shape improvement

• Refining a blunt nasal tip

• Correction of the nasolabial angle

• Securing overall balance

3. Functional improvement

• Septoplasty

• Radiofrequency laser submucosal resection of the inferior turbinate

• Improvement of nasal obstruction

1. Front view

• Improved bulbous tip shape

• Refined nasal tip

• Natural width

2. Profile view

• Creation of a masculine straight bridge line

• Relief of a protruding mouth by improving the nasolabial angle

• Harmonious overall profile line

3. Nostrils

• Improved nostril symmetry

• Straightened columella

• Balanced overall structure

Because the patient in this case did not want a sharp or upturned nose, the focus was placed on creating a natural, masculine straight bridge line. While improving the bulbous nose and blunt nasal tip, a natural result without an overdone appearance was achieved. In particular, straightening the columella that was tilted to the right and improving the nostril asymmetry were notable outcomes.

This was Dr. Peter C. Kang. Thank you.

Thank you.
