Hello~ This is BT Plastic Surgery😙

Among those considering rhinoplasty, the most common inquiries are

correction of a hump nose and alar reduction.

It is not simply about changing the tip of the nose or its height;

for a natural and refined impression, the lines must be adjusted to match the overall facial proportions.

When Hump Nose Surgery Is Needed

A hump nose often has a raised bridge, which can give the side profile a sharp or strong impression.

It is not only an aesthetic issue, but can also affect confidence and overall image.

✔️ When the bridge appears raised from the side profile

✔️ When the nose tip also droops, creating a heavy impression

✔️ When the nose looks long compared to the face

During surgery, the protruding bone and cartilage are refined to create a smoother curve,

and if necessary, the tip of the nose is reinforced to connect the overall line.

When Alar Reduction Is Needed

Even if the nose tip is fine, if the alar base is wide or flared,

the center of the face can look larger.

Alar reduction surgery is a method of removing or suturing only the excessive parts

to reduce the size so that it harmonizes with the nose tip.

✔️ When the alar base is wide and looks even wider when smiling

✔️ When the nose looks large because of the alar base even if the tip is small

✔️ When you want to balance the overall face

Hump Nose Correction + Alar Reduction

Advantages of Doing Them Together

If hump nose surgery and alar reduction are performed at the same time,

the length, line, and width of the nose can be adjusted comprehensively, allowing for a much more refined and balanced result.

In particular, when customized design is applied by considering the face shape as well as the spacing between the eyes, nose, and mouth,

it does not simply change the nose but leads to an overall improvement in the image.

Hump nose correction and alar reduction can each be done separately, but for a harmonious result, considering them together offers greater effect.

Because each person has a different facial structure and skin thickness,

it is important to make sure to decide on the surgical method that suits you through sufficient consultation with a specialist.

The surgery takes about 1–2 hours

and you can go home right away without being hospitalized. Gangnam Nose Surgery Specialist Before surgery, low-dose 3D CT imaging is used
