Key Points of Baroko Bulbous Nose Correction & Alar Reduction
01
POINT
Cartilage and fatty tissue are
reduced simultaneously.
02
POINT
Correction cannot be achieved
by tip elevation alone —
this approach is insufficient.
03
POINT
Alar reduction is performed
from inside the nose
to avoid visible scarring.
Benefits of Baroko Bulbous Nose Correction & Alar Reduction
Slim nasal tip line
Reducing the broad nasal bridge creates a slim,
sharp nasal line.
Refined, sophisticated image
Even a wide nasal bridge that creates a plain impression
is transformed into a chic, sophisticated look.
Enhanced three-dimensionality
Three-dimensionality is brought out from both front and side,
boosting confidence from any angle.
Surgical Procedure
When nasal tip subcutaneous tissue is thick
STEP 01
Excess fat or thick subcutaneous tissue
at the nasal tip is removed.
STEP 02
A straight, defined nasal line is achieved.
When the nasal tip is low
STEP 01
A low nasal tip caused by a bulbous nose
is elevated using autologous cartilage.
STEP 02
A straight, defined nasal line is achieved.
When the alar (lower lateral) cartilage is large
STEP 01
The tip of the alar cartilage is resected
to an appropriate width.
STEP 02
The separated bilateral alar cartilages are sutured
to bring the tip together.
Incision-free alar reduction (suture technique)
STEP 01
A suture is tied and pulled
beneath the nostril.
STEP 02
The nasal width and nostril size
are reduced.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bulbous Nose Correction & Alar Reduction
A bulbous nose has a blunt, spread-out tip and alar bases. The surgery raises the nasal tip or reduces the alar bases to create a refined, slender nasal shape.
No. Tip elevation alone is not enough for correction — cartilage and fatty tissue must be reduced simultaneously. When subcutaneous tissue is thick, fat and tissue are removed; when the tip is low, autologous cartilage is used to raise it; when the alar cartilage is large, the tip is resected and sutured. Alar reduction is performed from inside the nose to avoid visible scarring, or via the incision-free (suture) technique.
Surgery takes approximately 1 hour 30 minutes under local or sedation anesthesia, with same-day admission and discharge. Suture removal is after 5–7 days, with 2–3 follow-up visits and approximately 7 days of recovery (individual variation applies).
