Q. I’m curious about the method of hump nose surgery and the cause of a hump nose

Hello, I’m Director Kim Hyung-taek of Kowon Plastic Surgery.

Because the nose is located at the center of the face, even a small change can significantly alter the overall impression.

In particular, when the middle of the bridge sticks out, as in a hump nose, it stands out strongly from the side view, which leads many patients to worry about it.

The causes of a hump nose include cases where the bone structure has developed that way from birth, as well as cases where it has gradually changed due to trauma or lifestyle habits.

In such cases, it is necessary to decide on the surgical method by considering not only the external appearance correction but also the breathing function and the internal nasal structure.

During consultations, I try to listen carefully to the patient’s discomfort and desired direction, and to provide a realistic explanation of the hump nose surgery method.

Rather than forcing the nose to look unnaturally high, the most important thing is to create a line that harmonizes with the entire face.

Also, there may be swelling and an awkward appearance immediately after surgery, but as time passes, it stabilizes and naturally blends with the face.

Because the hump nose surgery method can vary depending on the individual’s condition and cause, an accurate diagnosis and customized design are necessary.

Today, based on a real patient’s questions, let’s talk about the causes of a hump nose, correction methods, and the important points to consider when thinking about surgery.

Q.

When I was younger, I was often complimented on having a high bridge, but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve grown dissatisfied with my nose.

I’m currently 21 years old, and I have a few questions about my nose.

1. If there are any problems with my nose or parts that need improvement, what would they be?

2. Is my nose considered large? It doesn’t seem small, but I’d like to know whether it is large or average.

3. Is my nose currently a hump nose?

4. If it is a hump nose, how severe is it? Is it considered severe?

5. Lastly, if I were to have hump nose surgery, what would be the best approach?

I would appreciate a kind answer. Thank you.

Hello. I’m Director Kim Hyung-taek, a plastic surgery consultant on Hidak-Naver Knowledge iN.

Regarding any problems or areas that need improvement in the nose, there do not seem to be any major issues. However, if the hump nose is bothering you, the most common hump nose surgery method is to remove the hump surgically.

As for the size of the nose, based on the photo alone, it does not look large and seems to be around average. It does not appear to be so big that it would feel excessive.

The current nose shape is indeed a hump nose.

From the appearance, it does not seem severe; rather, the hump appears somewhat prominent. In other words, it seems to be at a level that can be corrected relatively lightly. The causes of a hump nose mostly come from the congenital bone and cartilage structure, and it can become more pronounced during growth.

The method for correcting a hump nose involves a hump nose surgery method that removes or reshapes the protruding area. During surgery, while removing the hump, the nose tip or the glabella area may become higher, and in some cases cartilage is reinforced as well. This type of surgery helps balance the overall harmony of the nose.

I hope you have a good result, and I recommend making the final plan through consultation with a specialist.

Hello. I’m Kim Hyung-taek, the chief director of Kowon Plastic Surgery, here to organize the flow of facial features.

The nose sits at the center of the face, so depending on the shape of the nose, the overall image can change significantly.

Today, I will talk about the hump nose surgery method used to correct a crooked hump nose at Kowon, a place known for nose surgery in Gangnam.

While comparing the impressions before and after surgery, I’ll explain in detail how the procedure is carried out.

In this case, the female patient had a pronounced hump nose and also had a nose that was bent to one side, which made the size of her nostrils noticeably different.

In cases like this, correcting a crooked hump nose can make the surgical process somewhat more complicated depending on whether the base of the nose is level.

In particular, a hump nose is not only a problem of the protruding part itself; for a stable result, it is also necessary to consider the imbalance in cartilage and bone structure, which is cited as a cause of a hump nose.

Because there are cases where the nose returns to its original shape over time after surgery, patients often want a result that lasts a long time after a single operation.

Accordingly, it is very important to choose a more effective hump nose surgery method.

Looking at the woman’s front-facing photo before surgery, the nasal line was significantly bent, and in a case like this, there was a high possibility of a deviated septum, so caution was needed.

At the Gangnam nose surgery specialist clinic, after accurately identifying the cause of this hump nose, osteotomy was performed to correct the hump.

At this point, there may be insufficient septal cartilage to use as a graft, and this can vary depending on each patient’s nasal structure.

In such cases, ear cartilage is additionally used to provide stable correction.

Looking at the photo immediately after the hump nose surgery performed at the Gangnam nose surgery specialist clinic, swelling and redness were still present, but these naturally disappear during recovery.

Through the surgery, not only was the crooked nose corrected into a straight line, but the width and size of the nostrils were also improved.

In the 45-degree side photo, a naturally extended nose line can be seen, unlike before.

From the side view, the hump that had been protruding from the middle of the nasal line is gone, and an overall balanced shape has been achieved.

Because the patient originally had a relatively high bridge, we slightly increased the height while also performing a nose-tip lowering procedure.

Since the nose tip gradually drops over time, designing it slightly higher during surgery is a way to maintain satisfaction for a longer period.

In addition, the surgery was performed by removing the depressor muscles and correcting the muscles so that the result could settle stably.

Comparing the photos from below, you can see that the size and shape of the nostrils have become symmetrical and natural.

The patient’s impression also became softer and more feminine, and satisfaction with the surgery was high.

If you have discomfort or a complex about your nose, it is important to create a surgical plan suited to your individual condition.

With Kowon’s extensive experience, customized correction can lead to a more stable and natural result.
