Hump Nose Septal Deviation Correction Surgery for a Straight Nose and Comfortable Breathing

Hello. We are Mary Plastic Surgery Clinic, pursuing natural and beautiful changes.

Recently, making changes to appearances that have become personal complexes through plastic surgery has not been particularly uncommon.

This is because the shape and height of the nose affect the face’s three-dimensional appearance and also change how a person looks overall.

However, the nose is not a part that is important only for aesthetic reasons.

The nose is the area responsible for breathing and smell.

Therefore, when performing plastic surgery, it is necessary not to focus only on appearance, but to carry out delicate surgery so that functional problems do not occur.

Furthermore, if a defect has developed due to a structural problem with the nose before surgery, this can also be improved through plastic surgery.

In particular, in the case of septal deviation where the nose is bent, the bent shape may be visible even to the naked eye, so improvement is needed for both functional and aesthetic reasons.

Today, we will explain how our clinic creates a beautiful nose that is comfortable for breathing through hump nose septal deviation correction surgery.

Various Nasal Problems

There may be people who resemble one another, but no two people have exactly the same appearance.

Likewise, even if noses look similar, when examined in detail, each one has different issues.

In particular, the overall appearance of the nose can vary depending on its length, angle, shape, and line.

Typical features include a bulbous nose, crooked nose, short nose, upturned nose, long nose, and hump nose.

Separately from these, there are also cases in which functional nasal defects are accompanied by structural problems.

Problems that can be improved through plastic surgery include rhinitis, septal deviation, and nasal valve stenosis.

What Are Functional Nasal Defects?

✅ Rhinitis

Rhinitis is an inflammatory disease in which the mucosa lining the inside of the nose becomes swollen and enlarged.

It is caused by allergies or structural changes inside the nose, and symptoms such as nasal congestion, itching, and sneezing may occur.

In severe cases, it can be accompanied by headaches and sinusitis.

✅ Nasal valve stenosis

The nasal valve is a narrow passage located at the upper part of the empty space inside the nose.

This area plays an important role in regulating breathing, and narrowing of this space is called nasal valve stenosis.

It is a problem that can cause not only nasal congestion but also sleep disorders and migraines.

✅ Septal deviation

This is when the septal cartilage, the wall that vertically divides the nostrils in the center of the nose, is bent into a C or S shape, and the crooked shape of the nose may also be visible externally.

In severe cases, various complications such as nasal congestion, snoring, headaches, and sleep disorders may occur.

By straightening the deviated septum, removing excess cartilage, and then fixing it to the anterior nasal spine, it is possible to improve the septum and correct the nose line.

These functional defects commonly make breathing uncomfortable.

If the condition does not improve over time and breathing remains unstable for a long period, it is important to identify the cause of the nasal congestion and establish an appropriate treatment plan.

What Is Septal Deviation Surgery?

In particular, septal deviation is a symptom caused by deformities of the cartilage and nasal bones that make up the nasal bridge, so it may also be accompanied by an external appearance of a hump nose or crooked nose.

It is necessary to carefully identify the degree of symptoms and the area of deviation, and then establish a surgical method suited to them.

In general, a hump nose requires removing the hump and smoothing the nasal bridge line.

When a hump nose and septal deviation occur at the same time, a hump nose septal deviation correction surgery should be performed to remove the protruding part of the nasal bridge while also correcting the deviated septal cartilage.

A delicate incision can be made on the outer side of the deviated area of the septum, followed by proper correction and grafting to help with the correction.

If the cause of the crooked nose is the nasal bone, surgery is performed to osteotomize both sides of the nasal bone and set it upright.

What Is Mary’s Hump Nose Septal Deviation Correction Surgery?

Usually, septal deviation is accompanied by external deformities such as a crooked nose or hump nose, but there are also cases where the internal structural deformity is significant while it is not very noticeable from the outside.

Therefore, we recommended not only looking at what is visible to the naked eye, but also examining the inside in detail with precise equipment.

Before surgery, our clinic uses various devices, including 3D CT, to carefully assess the degree of each patient’s symptoms and identify internal nasal deformities.

At this time, it is important to check from multiple angles the shape of the nasal bones and septal cartilage, the degree of bending, and whether the surrounding skin tissue is inflamed.

Our lead physician, Director Hong Seong-taek, is a board-certified plastic surgeon with many years of rich surgical experience, allowing patients to expect stable results.

Because he oversees the entire surgical process—from consultation, analysis, and design to surgery and postoperative care—patients can feel more at ease about complications and receive support through to the end.
