Male nose surgery before and after [reducing the hump on the bridge
- correcting a drooping tip (depressor septi nasi correction)]
Looking at the before-and-after photos of male nose surgery, the tip is slightly drooped,
and from the side, a small hump appears to be visible.
This happens when the medial part of the lower lateral cartilage
(the part that forms the columella)
is underdeveloped, weakening the structural support of the nose
and causing the tip to droop.
If the tip is simply lifted using cartilage,
in most cases it will droop again over time.

People like this usually have a slightly protrusive mouth structure
with a more prominent upper jaw, and in such cases the depressor septi nasi muscle between the columella and the upper lip is overdeveloped.
When smiling or making facial expressions, it pulls the nasal tip downward,
creating a hooked-nose appearance.

Therefore, correction of this area involves partially removing and weakening the depressor septi nasi muscle
(this also partially improves the appearance of showing gums when smiling),
then reinforcing the columella with autologous cartilage
to strengthen support.
After that, if surgery is performed by placing cartilage on the nasal tip,
a straighter, more masculine nose line can be created.
Of course, the tendency for the nasal tip to droop over time is also reduced.
This has been a before-and-after review of male nose surgery.
