Improving Both the Function and Appearance of a Hump Nose in Men

Hello. This is Anplus.

In the past, the proportion of people visiting plastic surgery clinics was higher among women than men, but these days it seems to be regardless of gender or age.

In particular, for men, one of the most commonly sought-after procedures is rhinoplasty.

And when looking at Anplus's before-and-after photos of men with hump noses, the proportion of hump nose cases seems relatively high.

One point that requires special attention during surgery is that men have a different nose shape from women, so the points that need attention differ as well. For women, it is important to create a refined and feminine-looking nose by making the tip more defined, resulting in a semi-curved or straight-line nose shape.

For men, it is important to create a nose line that feels refined and masculine by connecting the bridge to the tip in a line that is as close to straight as possible.

Therefore, when performing hump nose surgery for men, it is important to identify the appropriate surgical method through systematic preoperative consultation and determine the most suitable approach.

In particular, hump noses are more likely to be caused by trauma in childhood than by genetics.

In such cases, when the nose receives an impact, it is impossible to rule out the possibility that the inside of the nose was also affected.

If you frequently experience symptoms such as runny nose, nasal congestion, and headaches, you should suspect a deviated septum.

A deviated septum refers to a nasal condition in which the septal cartilage, which acts as a pillar supporting the nose, becomes bent to one side, causing the rhinitis-like symptoms mentioned above.

For these symptoms, it is generally recommended to treat the functional aspect as well while undergoing rhinoplasty.

To better understand the complex internal structure of the nose, tools such as CT scans and endoscopy must be used so that a systematic hump nose surgery plan for men can be established.

In particular, since cartilage durability differs from person to person, if the cartilage is weak, cartilage from another area may need to be harvested for correction. In some cases, implants may be needed to help maintain the shape of the nose, so it is helpful to confirm the detailed aspects through consultation.

One of the most commonly asked questions about hump nose surgery for men is the surgical method.

Some people think that the protruding part simply needs to be removed by osteotomy.

However, if the degree of the hump is mild, it can be corrected by shaving it down.

If the area that needs to be removed is carefully shaved away, good results can still be expected, so there is no need to proceed all the way to osteotomy.

If, as in the before-and-after photos of men with hump noses, the nasal bridge is wide and the area to be removed is broad enough to require lateral osteotomy, then an artificial implant does not need to be inserted into the bridge. The tip can also be reshaped with autologous cartilage to create a sufficiently attractive nose shape.

However, if you have a hump nose with a low nasal bridge, the hump is first removed in the same way. If you are not overly concerned about inflammation from an artificial implant, an implant is inserted into the bridge to increase its height, and autologous cartilage is placed at the tip to create a nose line that flows smoothly without any breaks.

If you are worried about inflammation from an artificial implant, it can be left out. By using autologous cartilage at the tip without an implant, a natural nose line can be created.

However, in this case, satisfaction with the height of the nasal bridge may be lower, so if you have a consultation about hump nose surgery, this part is expected to be helpful in deciding the surgical method.

Anplus performs surgery while considering the harmony of the facial features.

In addition, because we believe that surgery is not truly complete unless aftercare is also done properly, we pay close attention to post-operative care after hump nose surgery.

If you mention any discomfort when you come in for follow-up, we will work to help you feel satisfied by treating that as well.

Thank you.
