Things to Consider When Thinking About Revision Surgery for a Hump Nose

The nose is one of the areas with a high revision surgery rate.

One of the main reasons for repeated nose revision surgery is

dissatisfaction with the shape.

Many people visit plastic surgery clinics for revision surgery because they feel that the shape or line of the nose, such as a hump nose or bulbous nose, has not improved.

There is a reason why many people consider hump nose revision surgery even after having already undergone one operation.

This is because the hump may not be completely corrected even after the first surgery.

In cases where the nose line looks uneven or awkward due to a hump,

it may appear aesthetically unnatural,

which can lead to dissatisfaction with the shape.

After organizing the problematic hump area, the height of the glabella and the nose tip can be improved in a balanced way.

After refining the protruding hump area to smooth out the line, implants can be used to naturally shape the bridge and glabella,

and a drooping nose tip can be corrected to look more refined by using cartilage.

A hump nose with a high nose height and a high middle nasal bone

In this type, the nasal bridge itself is high, but the area where the hump has formed is prominent, so the nose line often looks uneven.

In this case, the line can be made more natural by selectively improving only the area where the hump has formed.

In this type, the glabella, bridge, and tip often appear low overall.

In this case, the hump is refined and appropriate implants are inserted into the septum, nasal tip, and other areas,

after which the line and height can be improved to match the individual's desired look.

After hump removal?

Using the materials most suitable for the patient, such as septal cartilage or rib cartilage,

the surgery is performed so that no step-off occurs after hump removal.

These materials play an important role in ensuring a natural transition from the nasal bridge to the tip.

Therefore, based on experience handling various materials and a deep understanding of nasal tissue,

the specialist's skill is very important.

Because nose surgery requires the ability to reconstruct and properly adjust tissue,

it is important to choose an experienced specialist.

※ Depending on the individual, side effects such as inflammation, bleeding, and nerve damage may occur, so sufficient consultation with the medical staff before surgery is necessary.
