Hello~

💎your beauty universe! I am Dr. Shim Jeong-hwan, Director of Weverse Plastic Surgery :)💎

A bulbous nose refers to a blunt and thick nasal tip,

which is common among Asians.

​

Although a bulbous nose is sometimes called a "nose that brings luck" and is said to bring wealth,

aesthetically, its wide appearance is often considered a complex.

​

A blunt and wide nasal tip can give off an unsophisticated,

stuffy, and dull impression.

​

For women, it can look unrefined and even masculine,

leading to an even greater complex.

​

Because it doesn't align with today's standard of a sophisticated and beautiful image,

more people are opting for bulbous nose surgery.

​

Many people with a bulbous nose also worry about wide nostrils,

so they often consider alar reduction at the same time.

​

Today, let's find out if alar reduction is absolutely necessary when undergoing bulbous nose surgery.

​

Do I really need alar reduction when getting bulbous nose surgery?

A bulbous nose refers to the round shape of the nasal tip,

so it is not directly related to alar reduction.

Alar reduction is only necessary if the nostrils are wide and flared.

​

Today, we learned about alar reduction.

I will be back next time with even more informative content.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of nose is referred to as a 'Bokko' (bulbous nose)?

A 'Bokko' refers to a nose shape common among East Asians, characterized by a blunt and thick nasal tip. In the past, it was considered a nose that brought good fortune, but in modern times, it can give a rustic and dull impression, or in women, it can make them appear masculine, becoming a source of appearance complex.

Is alar reduction always necessary when undergoing bulbous nose surgery?

No, it is not always necessary to perform them together. A bulbous nose refers to a round nasal tip, so it is not directly related to alar reduction surgery. Alar reduction is an additional surgery only needed when the nostrils themselves are wide and flared, regardless of the shape of the nasal tip.

In what cases is alar reduction surgery necessary?

Alar reduction is necessary when the nostrils are wide and flared outwards. Even if you have a bulbous nose with a blunt tip, if your nostrils are not wide, there is no need to proceed with alar reduction, so it is best to consult with a specialist to determine if wide nostrils are present in your nose condition.

What are the aesthetic disadvantages of a bulbous nose?

A bulbous nose, with its spread-out tip, can appear somewhat rustic, stuffy, and give a dull impression. Especially for women, it can be perceived as unsophisticated and masculine, which doesn't align with modern standards of refined beauty, leading many to consider surgery.
