Hello, I am Dr. Chayoung Kang, Director of Noselab.
Today we will introduce a rhinoplasty case of a patient who had a blunt and wide nose. This patient said she wanted a cute and pretty barbie doll nose, so we made a natural and feminine-looking nose for her using her own rib cartilage and a silicone implant.
Preoperative design consultation
First, let’s analyze the patient’s condition before the surgery.
Frontal view before surgery.
The nose looked generally wide from the front.
Blunt and broad nose tip.
Big and asymmetric nostrils.
Side profile before surgery
Since the nose tip was droopy, the nose looked long overall.
Flat nose bridge
Prominent nasal hump
45-degree angle
The appearance of the wide nose is more prominent.
Clearly sagging and blunt nose tip.

The nostrils are big and asymmetric.
The division between the nose tip and the alar was not clear.
Surgical Content
The surgery proceeded through the closed rhinoplasty approach as follows:
a) Self-rib cartilage harvesting and transfer: Harvesting of the self-rib to correct the nose tip. Delicatedly cutting the rib cartilage to shape the nose tip.
b) Correction of the nose tip: Delicatedly making the blunt nose tip into a beautiful shape. Projecting the nose tip to an appropiate degree and adjust it to give it a cute barbie nose appearance.
c) Increase the heigh of the nose tip: Increase the height of the flat nose bridge using the silicone implant. Adjusting the overall line of the nose to be more soft and feminine.
d) Correction the nose hump: Shaping the nose bridge into a subtle curve to improve the appearance of the nose hump.
e) Correction of the nose tip: Reducing the size of the nostrils and improving the symmetry. Through relocation of the nose tip cartilage the shape of the nostrils became more beautiful.
All procedures were performed through the closed rhinoplasty approach, without leaving any visible scars.

Overview
This case’s patient had a wide and blunt nose, and requested it to be turned into a feminine and natural-looking nose. Since we used the patient’s own rib cartilage to correct the nose tip the risk of side effects is low and we are able to achieve and maintain long-term stable results.
The balance of the nose was improved as the nose bridge height was increased had a strong effect on the feminine appearance. Especially, through the closed rhinoplasty approach, the scars and the recovery period are reduced.
The delicate sculpting of the nose tip and the nostril symmetry were improved, which was a crucial part in achieving the cute barbie doll nose that the patient wanted. At the same time, the nose hump improved and the overall shape became soft and feminine.
Lastly, I hope this blog post is of interest for those who are concerned with a blunt and wide nose. It is possible to make a beautiful nose shape through a detailed plan fitting every individual’s facial features.
