Q. Concerns After Hump Nose Rhinoplasty and Nasal Fracture Surgery: Possibility of Revision Surgery for Men

Hello, this is Director Kim Hyung-taek of Kowon Plastic Surgery.

The nose is located at the center of the face, so even small changes can greatly alter the overall impression.

That is why many people hesitate easily even when they are considering rhinoplasty.

In consultations, I value listening thoroughly to any discomfort and the direction the patient wants, and then finding the most suitable method together.

In particular, it is important to explain realistically about possible side effects after surgery in order to increase satisfaction with the results.

Rather than an overly aggressive approach, it is most important to achieve the desired image through a safe approach suited to the individual.

Also, many people worry about male revision nose surgery because they feel dissatisfied with a previous operation.

In such cases, both the shape and the functional aspects must be considered together.

Today, based on an actual inquiry, I will discuss the changes after rhinoplasty and whether male revision nose surgery is possible.

I hope this will be helpful for those with similar concerns.

Q.

I injured my nose and developed a hump nose, so I underwent nasal fracture surgery.

My nasal bridge was originally fairly high, and I was told that the bridge was shaved down during the hump nose surgery, but I am not satisfied with the current result.

No silicone implant was inserted, and I was told that septal cartilage was used under the nose to support the tip.

However, my nose feels too high and it is causing me stress. They said the hump area was shaved during surgery, but I want to lower the bridge and the nasal dorsum more.

When I asked the doctor, I was told there was no more cartilage to shave. Is there really no way to lower the nasal bones further?

I am very frustrated and want to know whether the septal cartilage placed in the tip needs to be removed, or whether there is a way through male revision nose surgery. Please advise.

A.

It is difficult to make an exact judgment without photos, but based on what you described, it seems that your concern is that the bridge still appears high after hump nose surgery.

During the nasal fracture surgery process, the protruding bone and cartilage were most likely already addressed, and there are limited areas that can be shaved further. The nasal bone itself is thin, so there are limits to reducing it excessively.

At this point, rather than lowering the nasal bone and bridge further, adjusting the shape of the tip to create better balance may be considered.

If dissatisfaction with the result continues, it would be good to check whether partial correction is possible through male revision nose surgery. However, after hump nose surgery or nasal fracture surgery, the state of tissue recovery and bone stability must definitely be taken into account.

In conclusion, whether additional lowering is possible at this stage can only be determined through an in-person consultation and detailed examination.

Therefore, if you are considering male revision nose surgery, I recommend having a detailed consultation with the medical team in charge.

I hope for a good outcome. Thank you.

If the size of the nose itself is in proportion to the overall balance of the face, it may not be very bothersome.

However, if the tip droops or a hump develops, correction may be desired.

Today, I will introduce a revision tip surgery case in which a hump nose was improved through tip binding.

This man who underwent male revision nose surgery with tip binding had a severe hump at his first visit, and the nasal bones were significantly deviated from the center and bent.

It could be judged as quite a serious condition.

This photo shows him from multiple angles before surgery, and the nasal bridge was bent to one side, suggesting that he likely experienced inconvenience in daily life.

However, in such cases, even if surgery is performed for correction, it is difficult to say that complete improvement of 100% is possible.

A corrective effect may appear immediately after surgery, but there is a tendency to return to the original state over time, so continuous observation is necessary.

Comparing the before-and-after photos of male revision nose surgery with tip binding, the preoperative image showed a severe hump that made the glabella area look sunken, whereas after surgery that area appeared fuller, creating a refined and more defined impression.

As the nasal bridge settled into the correct position, the overall look became more masculine.

The degree of bend in the bridge may not seem very different to others, but it can be a major source of stress for the person themselves.

Through revision tip surgery, the nose was corrected properly, the tip that had looked compressed was restored, and there were changes in the size and shape of the nostrils as well.

The nostrils that had appeared to spread outward were brought toward the center, producing an improvement in appearance.

Looking at the photo taken from a 45-degree angle after combining revision tip surgery and tip binding, the hump in the middle disappeared and a smooth line was formed, completing a sharper overall look.

Before surgery, the cartilage was spread apart, and improvement was achieved by binding it to narrow it and using septal cartilage to support the nasal tip.

In addition, for the very low glabella area, cartilage and fat grafting were used to create a natural, higher nasal bridge.

Kowon carefully examines each person’s condition and then finds the most appropriate method to proceed with surgery.

If you are currently considering nasal correction or are experiencing discomfort due to functional issues, please feel free to seek a solution through consultation.
