Q. Questions About Male Hump Nose Surgery Using Donated Rib Cartilage and Filler.

Hello. I am Kim Hyung-taek, the chief surgeon at Kowon Plastic Surgery Clinic, performing rhinoplasty with honest and delicate technique.

This answer note is about a male patient’s concerns about revision surgery after undergoing surgery using donated rib cartilage and filler treatment in order to improve a hump nose.

Q. Questions about male hump nose surgery using donated rib cartilage and filler.

I had hump nose surgery and tip surgery using donated rib cartilage about two months ago. The surgeon also injected filler several times.

They said it was a permanent filler, but now, two months later, even though I received filler, it has gone back to how it was before.

Also, the tip of my nose is too high, and only the very end sticks out.

In addition, it used to be a straight nose, but the lower part of the bridge between the eyebrows has disappeared, and it looks like a curved, half-straight half-upturned nose, which is stressful..

1. I was told that donated rib cartilage is not easily absorbed, so the height will not go down. Will there be no change?

2. If the implant in the tip of the nose is removed, will it look like a straight nose? If so, will the nose look much lower?

3. My current nose shape is a half-straight half-upturned nose, and I had filler injected. Is revision surgery possible? If revision surgery is possible, can it be improved into a straight nose shape?

4. In the case of surgery using donated rib cartilage, it is uncommon for the nose tip to become lower. So even after surgery, the nose tip shape is expected to remain similar to the current one.

5. In the case of an implant, it is not inserted all the way to the nose tip. So if the nose tip is high, it seems necessary to lower the rib cartilage at the tip. If the amount lowered is well controlled, it will look like a straight nose.

6. Revision surgery is possible, but it can be performed only after a recovery period of at least 6 months following the surgery. And if you lower the nose tip while filling in the sunken area, a straight nose shape should be possible.

I hope you get a good result.
