c. Nostril & Columella
Improved nostril symmetry
Columella repositioned to a neutral alignment
Stronger and more balanced nasal base structure[Nose Lab Clinic]
Hello, this is Dr. Cha-Young Kang from Nose Lab Clinic.
Today, I will share a case of bulbous nose correction and nostril asymmetry improvement using a masculine straight bridge design while preserving a natural and balanced nasal appearance.

1. Initial Assessment
a. Frontal View
Bulbous, wide nasal tip
Nostril asymmetry
Flat, broad nasal structure
b. Side Profile
Droopy nasal tip
Slightly protruded mouth appearance
Low starting point of the nasal bridge
c. Nostril & Columella
Nostril asymmetry
Columella deviated to the right
2. Patient’s Requests
Refined nasal shape
Straight, masculine nasal bridge
A tip that is neither overly sharp nor upturned
Avoiding an excessively lifted nose
Improvement in nasal breathing
3. Surgical Approach
a. Structural Correction
Bulbous nasal tip refinement
Straight bridge formation (masculine straight line)
Columella realignment to correct deviation
b. Aesthetic Refinement
Reshaping the nasal tip for a sophisticated, natural look
Nasolabial angle correction to balance facial proportions
Maintaining a proportional and symmetrical nose width
c. Functional Enhancement
Septoplasty for structural improvement
Radiofrequency turbinate reduction to relieve nasal congestion
Enhancement of nasal airflow
4. Surgical Outcomes

a. Frontal View
Refined bulbous nose shape
More defined and proportionate nasal tip
Balanced nostril symmetry
Before (Left) / Immediately After (Right)
b. Side Profile
Defined, masculine straight bridge
Balanced nasolabial angle, improving the appearance of protruded mouth
Harmonized nasal length and proportion

c. Nostril & Columella
Improved nostril symmetry
Columella repositioned to a neutral alignment
Stronger and more balanced nasal base structure

This case required precise adjustments to refine the nasal tip, correct asymmetry, and create a masculine yet natural straight bridge. The patient specifically requested a nose that would not appear sharp or over-lifted, so we focused on subtle but impactful refinements. The additional functional enhancements further contributed to better breathing and nasal stability.
