◆ What is Bulbous Tip?
|
It refers to round image nose with blunt and wide nasal tip. Relatively bulbous nasal tip compared to Caucasians is very common for Asians since Asians have weak nasal tip cartilage yet thick skin and abundant soft tissues. Although it may mean "good luck" according to facial phrenology, it cannot really create polished impression and it even creates dull impression when the nostrils are wide and spread as well. |

◆ Causes and methods of bulbous nasal tip
Suitable Surgical Method depending on the cause |
|
1. Excessive nasal tip soft tissues or over developed nasal tip cartilage Surgical Method Improvement by partial removal and shaving of the cartilage
2. Wide spread nasal tip cartilage Surgical Method Pushing up the tip with autogenous cartilage strut to make it look sleek. In cases of thick skin, the nasal tip can be reduced by dual dissection that removes nasal tip soft tissues, fat and SMAS fascia. 3. Wide Alar Surgical Method Reduce the width by removing the skin inside the nostrils. Centralize the nasal base to make overall nasal tip shape triangular. |
