How can a bulbous nose job reduce the size of a bulbous nose?


Rhino tip surgery is a type of rhinoplasty procedure designed to alter the size and shape of the nose tip surgically. Rhino tip correction can also address the bulbous nose tip. The procedure involves reducing the size of the nose by surgically removing part of the lower lateral cartilage, which is often enlarged in those with bulbous nose tips. The resulting appearance is a nose tip that appears smaller and less rounded. In many cases, your surgeon may be able to perform a bulbous nose job as a closed technique so that all incisions are positioned inside the nostrils, which means there will be no visible . The nose tip surgery will be customised to the individual patient’s anatomy.


In some cases, particularly for extensive nose contouring, your surgeon may need to perform an open rhinoplasty. This involves making an incision in the skin of the columella, which lies between the two nostrils at the base of the nose. Once the incision has been made, the surgeon will gently separate the skin from the underlying cartilage and bony framework. This provides the surgeon with optimal visualisation of all nasal structures requiring surgical nose contouring. At the end of the procedure, the columella is with non-dissolvable sutures, as these will result in a better-looking scar. This is followed by the application of brown tape and a thermoplastic splint to protect the nose while it heals. The dressings, sutures and nasal splint will be removed at a one-week appointment with our post-operative nurse. Open rhinoplasty is an ideal procedure for patients with significant nasal deformities, including a bulbous nasal tip.
