Advantages of GNG Bulbous Nose Rhinoplasty

Point 1 Definite change of front facial view – 3 step solutions to fix a bulbous nose!

There are many cases where the patients who went through a rhinoplasty for a bulbous nose feel that their nose looks pinched up.
This is due to their surgeries performed without removing subcutaneous fat. At GNG, we conduct precise 3D CT scans and photo analysis before surgery to measure the thickness of the nasal skin. We then proceed with 3 step solutions to correct the nasal cartilage and the thickness of the skin to deliver a definite change of the front and even side views of the face.

Point 3 Nasal tip implant best suited for each individual is selected!

Prior to surgery, GNG Hospital analyzes the amount and solidity of cartilage through a 3D-CT scan.
After examinations, the best material for surgery is selected and implanted on the nasal tip.
With our seasoned methods, we minimize the chance of inflammation and provide top of the line after care to lessen scarring.

• Septal cartilage

  

  Excellent material to use as support to the nasal bridge in a rhinoplasty.
  No additional incisions are required as it is extracted from the inner nose.

• Ear cartilage

  

  Material used to create a natural look and to project the nasal tip.
  Easy to extract and as the incision for extraction is made behind the ear, scarring is barely visible.

• Rib cartilage

  

  Large amount of cartilage can be extracted from ribs and chance of inflammation is slim making it versatile.
  Skin is sutured cleanly to minimize scarring.
