Typical ranges for wide nose surgery; your surgeon confirms the details at consultation.
What is wide nose surgery?
Wide nose surgery is rhinoplasty that narrows a broad nasal bridge, tip or nostril base. At Marble Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, a board-certified plastic surgeon combines osteotomy, tip refinement and alar reduction according to where the width lies.
Width can be in the bone, the tip or the nostrils. Narrowing the bones requires controlled osteotomies; a low, wide bridge may instead need augmentation, since added height makes the nose look narrower. The base is reduced last so that it matches the new tip.
Who is wide nose surgery for?
Suitability is decided at a 1:1 consultation with your surgeon.
- A broad or flat-looking bridge from the front
- Wide nasal bones after hump reduction or injury
- A wide tip and nostril base
- People who want a slimmer nose in front view
How wide nose surgery is performed at Marble
- Consultation and planning Your surgeon analyzes front-view width at the bones, tip and base on 3D-CT, and plans which combination of techniques will slim the nose.
- Anesthesia and monitoring A board-certified anesthesiologist selects the anesthesia with your surgeon, administers it, and monitors you continuously throughout the procedure.
- Narrowing bridge, tip and base Lateral osteotomies bring the nasal bones inward, the tip is refined with sutures and grafts, and the alar base is reduced if needed.
- Recovery and discharge You rest in a private recovery room under monitoring. Before you leave, the team explains wound care, medication and your follow-up schedule.
Recovery and aftercare
Most patients go home the same day. A splint is usually worn for about a week, and visible swelling settles over roughly two weeks, with the tip continuing to refine for months. Aftercare visits are scheduled on days 2, 7 and 14.
- Swelling injection on day 2
- Regenerative laser on days 7 and 14
- 1:1 progress checks with your surgeon
- Unlimited scar care

Frequently asked questions
Can a wide nose be narrowed without breaking the bones?
If the width is in the tip or nostrils only, yes. A wide bony bridge usually requires osteotomy.
Will a higher bridge make my nose look narrower?
Often yes. Raising a low bridge creates shadow lines that make the nose appear slimmer from the front.
Is alar reduction included?
It is added when the nostril base is wide. Your surgeon decides after the tip has been shaped.
Who will perform my procedure at Marble Plastic Surgery?
