A bulbous or wide nasal tip refers to a rounded, undefined tip caused by thick skin, splayed lower lateral cartilages, or both.

Tip shape is determined by the underlying cartilage framework and the overlying skin thickness. Many patients seek a more refined, defined tip without changing the bridge.

Dr. Kim personally performs tiplasty to refine the lower lateral cartilages, often using suture techniques and small cartilage grafts. The result preserves the existing bridge while sharpening the tip.

Dr. Kim brings dual-continent training (Brown University, Seoul) and an artistic eye to every consultation. Schedule a personal consultation to discuss whether Tiplasty is right for you.
