A rounded, enlarged, or wide nasal tip is what is known as a bulbous nose and can gravely affect the entire facial harmony. A bulbo snoze job (or rhinoplasty) is often sought after by people who want to correct their appearance and create a more balanced facial aesthetic. In this guide, I will talk a little about what exactly a bulbous nose job entails, who it’s for, and what to expect during the process.

The Anatomy Of A Bulbous Nose

A bulbous nose typically has one or more of the following characteristics:

• Sometimes, the nasal tip has excess cartilage.
• Posed, bulky or indistinct nasal tip.
• Accumulation of soft tissue or fat in the tip area.

These characteristics tend to be hereditary but can also be the result of aging or a past nasal trauma. Specifically designed to address these traits, a bulbous nostril job gives your tip a little definition and a more proportionate look.

Bulbous Nose Job: Who Is a Candidate?

Not all people considering a nose job make good candidates for surgery, and they should be carefully evaluated. You might be a good fit for a bulbous nose job if you:

• Do you have a wide or round nasal tip that does not seem to suit your facial features?
• Are in good general health with no other underlying conditions that might make surgery more difficult.
• At least be realistic about what results to expect.
• At least 16-18 years of age, as the Nasal structure is not fully developed.

What to Expect During a Bulbous Nose Job Consultation

You’ll need to visit a board certified plastic surgeon prior to surgery so that you can discuss your goals and concerns. During this consultation:

1. Evaluation of Nasal Structure: The surgeon will assess your nose (thickness of your skin, strength of your cartilage, etc.) and your facial harmony.
2. Discussion of Goals: If you’re getting the procedure done, you should be prepared to explain what you hope to get out of it. Digital imaging may be used by your surgeon to show potential outcomes.
3. Surgical Plan Development: Your surgeon will design a personal surgical plan based on your anatomy and your preferences.

Management of a Bulbous Nose with Surgical Techniques

Fixing a bulbous nose with accuracy and care is a tricky thing. Depending on your specific needs, your surgeon may employ one or more of the following techniques:

1. Cartilage Reshaping

Bulbosity is commonly from excess cartilage in the nasal tip. Your surgeon may:

• Trim the cartilage of the tip to reduce the size of the tip.
• You suture the cartilage to a more defined shape.

2. Tip Refinement with Sutures

A more aesthetically pleasing profile can be set by surgically reshaping and narrowing the nasal tip by using surgical sutures.

3. Adjusting the skin thickness of the nasal side

Nasal tip thinning of soft tissue may give definition in patients with thick skin. This however does come with some precautions to prevent scarring or possibly complications.

4. Open vs. Closed Rhinoplasty

• Open Rhinoplasty: It requires that you make a small cut at your columella (the tissue between your nostrils). However, this approach provides better visibility and control on complex cases when compared to the snapshot functionality in the history plugin.

Weeks 2 to 4: Reduced Swelling

• Finally, most swelling will start to subside and most bruising will fade out.
