Why Does the Cost of Hump Nose Surgery Vary by Hospital?

Why Does the Cost of Hump Nose Surgery Vary by Hospital?

Many people worry that their nose line makes them look severe or that the bridge of their nose appears crooked. In particular, a hump nose is not a surgery that simply raises the height; because it requires refining the structure of the cartilage and bone, an accurate diagnosis is important.

In Apgujeong as well, more people are seeking hump nose correction, and when they receive consultations, they most often ask why the cost can vary from 1.5 million won to over 4 million won.

✅ Reasons the cost of hump nose surgery varies

✔ Degree of the hump (protrusion, asymmetry, whether a crooked nose is also present)

✔ Whether an implant is used (none / silicone / autologous cartilage)

✔ Whether functional surgery is performed at the same time (such as a deviated septum)

✔ Difficulty of the surgery & operating time

✔ Whether post-operative care programs are included

Even for the same “hump nose,”

there can be a large difference in cost between simply refining the line and addressing functional problems at the same time.

✅ Why it is necessary to check the cause of the hump nose first

Cause	Features
Congenital bone/cartilage protrusion	The bridge of the nose sticks out and the face looks more severe
Deviated septum (crookedness)	The nose looks crooked from the front
Trauma (impact, accident)	The bridge of the nose becomes bent or asymmetry develops

If you undergo “a surgery that only raises the height” without knowing the cause,

the shape may look unnatural or breathing may become uncomfortable,

so the key process is accurate diagnosis → design → functional evaluation.

✅ Why is expertise important at Eight Plastic Surgery in Apgujeong?

A hump nose involves

✔ Bone

✔ Cartilage

✔ Skin thickness

✔ Septum

✔ Nasal tip support structure

Because all of these are interconnected,

the procedure is more difficult than simple cosmetic surgery.

Eight Plastic Surgery is designed so that a board-certified plastic surgeon personally handles customized consultation, surgery, and follow-up care,

and because breathing function is also taken into account,

it focuses on correcting the nose into a natural and smooth line.

✅ How does the recovery process after surgery proceed?

🗓 1–3 days after surgery

Possible swelling around the eyes and face

Cold compresses can help

🗓 3–7 days

Bruising and swelling decrease quickly

Light daily activities are possible

🗓 2–4 weeks

Possible numbness at the nasal tip and a feeling of tightness

The period when a natural line settles in

🗓 After 1 month

Mostly stable

Check both the nose shape and breathing

✅ Checkpoints to prevent side effects

✔ Do not touch the nose or apply impact

✔ Avoid drinking and smoking for at least 3–4 weeks

✔ Do not sleep face down

✔ Keep taking the prescribed medication and cleansing regularly

✔ Visit the clinic immediately if anything unusual occurs

Even a small action can affect the speed of recovery,

so post-operative care is very important.

✅ What matters more than cost

A hump nose surgery is

not about simply making a nose higher,

but about creating a soft and natural line that suits your face.

Rather than comparing places where the cost differs by 200,000 to 400,000 won,

✔ Whether a board-certified plastic surgeon and a board-certified anesthesiologist are on site

✔ Whether the operating room has an air shower system and safety systems

✔ Whether functional testing with 3D-CT, 3D Vectra, and XU1 endoscopy is available

✔ Post-operative care program (dermatology care)

It is best to check these four points first.
