Prologue

Many people in Korea have a bulbous nose with a thick, rounded tip, which can be corrected with alar cartilage reshaping and soft tissue removal. Because the technique differs depending on the cause, we perform bulbous nose surgery only after a thorough consultation and detailed examination.
If the nostrils are widely flared, combining alar reduction can deliver a highly satisfying result.
