Hump Nose Surgery, From Functional Discomfort to Aesthetic Beauty!

<Actual DM Plastic Surgery rhinoplasty case>

Because the nose is at the center of the face, it has a significant impact on one’s overall impression.

As rhinoplasty has become as common as double-eyelid surgery, its technical quality has also improved considerably.

When surgery is performed with consideration for facial balance and harmony, natural-looking rhinoplasty is possible. Therefore, it is best to undergo surgery with a specialist who has accurate diagnostic skills and extensive clinical experience in order to achieve highly satisfactory results!

Just as with the eyes, noses come in a wide variety of shapes.

A straight nasal bridge with a high tip is generally considered an ideal nose shape, but some noses have a protruding bridge that creates a sharp impression.

This type of nose is called a hump nose because it resembles the beak of an eagle.

It may occur congenitally when the nasal bones and cartilage are excessively developed, or it may develop later due to nasal deformation caused by trauma, such as from wearing glasses.

When viewed from the side, the bone and cartilage in the nasal bridge appear raised and uneven. The tip may appear droopy, and a crooked nose often accompanies these features. Therefore, it is important to determine and apply the appropriate correction method through a thorough consultation.

Although nasal surgery may appear simple, the inside of the nose consists of a very complex structure. It is best to establish and follow a customized plan suited to each individual’s face.

Hump noses are often accompanied by functional problems, so it is important to improve both the external appearance and internal function. The surgical method varies depending on the degree of the hump. The protruding area in the middle of the nasal bridge can be removed, and the tip can be raised to harmonize with the bridge, creating a smoother and more three-dimensional appearance.

We will explain the methods for improving a hump nose in more detail :D

Hump Nose, Improvement Is Possible!

Hump noses are often accompanied by functional problems in addition to protruding bone.

As the cartilage inside the nose may also become deviated due to the development of the nasal bones, breathing can sometimes become difficult. Therefore, both the appearance and functional aspects should be improved by a specialist with extensive clinical experience.

In cases of a pronounced hump, the hump is removed and the bone is osteotomized.

After fixing the broad nasal bridge bones through osteotomy, a septal or ear cartilage graft is inserted into the tip to create an ideal nose shape that matches the forehead and nasal bridge line.

When the hump is not severe, the protruding bone and cartilage are filed down and removed.

If the nasal bridge is low, an implant may be inserted. Septal or ear cartilage is also inserted into the tip to create an ideal nose shape with a harmonious line suited to the face.

Because the protruding area consists of both bone and cartilage, it is important to correct it properly so that the bone does not grow back. To achieve satisfactory results, it is important to consult sufficiently with a rhinoplasty specialist who has experience performing surgery in a wide range of cases, then proceed with the line and method that best harmonize with the individual.

If too much of the nasal bridge is shaved down or the tip is raised excessively, the nose may become larger, which can lead to lower satisfaction.

Therefore, to achieve a positive result, surgery should be performed after a thorough consultation with a rhinoplasty specialist who has extensive experience with various surgical cases and in-depth anatomical knowledge of facial contours.

Since the most important aspect of rhinoplasty is creating a harmonious nose shape while considering each individual’s facial features, we recommend visiting our clinic for a one-on-one consultation.
