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

The nose is located at the center of the face and is an important area that determines the overall impression and harmony.

Because of this, even small changes after surgery can make you sensitive, and minor indentations or irregularities may become a concern.

In particular, when silicone and cartilage are used together, shape changes may be felt as the tissues settle over time.

Today, through a real inquiry case, I’ll explain what you can check if you’re worried about side effects after hump nose surgery.

Q.

It has been about two years since I had the hump reduced and had surgery with silicone and ear cartilage. Although it doesn’t stand out much, I can feel a slight depression between the silicone and the ear cartilage. It also looks natural from the outside, but I’m worried that this might be a side effect of hump nose surgery, so I’m asking. What condition should this be considered? 😥

A.

Hello. This is Kim Hyeong-taek, consulting physician for Hidak-Naver Knowledge iN.

From the photos, it does not appear to be a severely serious condition.

Because the tip of the nose is an area with a lot of movement,

it can feel slightly sunken, as you mentioned,

either from pressure from the muscles or as the tissues settle over time.

This may be a natural phenomenon that appears during normal recovery,

and it rarely leads to functional problems. However, if you are worried about side effects after hump nose surgery,

it is best to consult the medical team that performed the surgery to check the exact condition.

If the shape continues to change or becomes aesthetically uncomfortable,

it may be possible to improve it with additional correction methods. Minor indentations like this often ease over time,

and in many cases, they do not become a significant issue.

If you are worried about side effects after hump nose surgery,

rather than judging on your own, it is most reliable to have a specialist examine your current condition. The recovery process can differ depending on the nasal structure and skin thickness,

so please do not worry too much and keep observing the progress.

I hope you get a good result. Thank you.

Hello. I’m Kim Hyeong-taek, the chief director of Kowon Plastic Surgery, which focuses on nose surgery near Sinsa Station.

In this post, I’d like to introduce a female nose surgery case for someone who was concerned about asymmetrical nostrils and a nose that looked long.

Let’s look at the before-and-after photos together and go through the changes step by step.

Before surgery, the nose was somewhat long, the line was curved, and hump correction was needed.

Looking at the preoperative photos, the bridge line was curved to one side, creating an impression of imbalance. In cases like this, because the height of the base of the nose is uneven, correction is not easy. If you try to force it into alignment, it may look better right after the Sinsa Station nose surgery,

but as time passes, there is a chance it may return to its original shape,

so it was necessary to consider hump correction and crooked nose correction together.

To achieve a highly satisfying result with a single female nose surgery,

a thorough consultation and planning process was carried out. In this case, hump correction to reduce the protruding area was performed together with

Sinsa Station nose surgery to correct the asymmetrical bridge using an osteotomy method. If there is insufficient septal cartilage during surgery,

it was explained that ear cartilage could be added and used as support. The design was carefully planned so that even the nose tip line would blend naturally.

The photo above was taken to compare the changes before and after female nose surgery. The slight redness of the nose immediately after surgery is a temporary swelling and flushing that appears in the early recovery stage,

and it gradually subsides over time. Looking at the before-and-after photos, you can see that the curved bridge was corrected into a straight line,

and the combination of hump correction and Sinsa Station nose surgery resulted in a more stable change.

The change is even clearer from a 45-degree angle. Before surgery, the nose line was uneven, but after surgery, the bridge flowed smoothly, improving the overall harmony.

In addition, by correcting the depressor muscle of the nose tip, the pulling of the nose tip during facial expressions was reduced.

In this way, the Sinsa Station nose surgery was performed with both functional and aesthetic balance in mind.

The change seen from the side is even more distinct. The hump that had appeared protruded in the center was smoothed out, and as the bridge extended straight, the balance of the face improved. In this case, because the bridge was originally high,

a hump surgery method was chosen that combined slight height adjustment with correction of the nose-tip depressor. Even if it appears somewhat high at first,

it was designed so that it would settle into a natural harmony over time.

In the photo taken from below, changes in the shape of the nostrils can be seen. The asymmetry was reduced and improved into a more balanced shape,

and thanks to the neat nose tip and smooth line, the overall impression appears more stable.

This case is an example of achieving harmony in the center of the face through female nose surgery,

and may be helpful as a reference for those considering nose surgery near Sinsa Station. In particular, if hump correction is needed,

it is a good example to review together.
